Validate a string with a regex -


i need write regular expression handle below constraints:

names can contain letters, numbers, hyphens (-), dollar signs, brackets ([ , ]), , underscores (_). single periods (.) allowed inside of internal name (abc.de), not @ beginning or end of internal name (.abc or def.). spaces , other special characters not listed here not supported.

i wrote this:

(^[^\.])([a-za-z0-9\.\$\[\]\_\-])*[^.]

but still can put 1 sign like: ! or @ or %

^(?!\.)([a-za-z0-9\.\$\[\]\_\-])+(?<!\.)$

you need anchors .also [^\.] can accept other ..so lookaheads , lookbehinds advised.

see demo.

c++ - Why doesn't unordered_set provide an array access operator -

i'm curious why stl container unordered_set , has constant time complexity random access on average, not provide method accessing elements distance first element in container. example: t& unordered_set::operator[](size_t index) { return *(begin() + index); } accessing element "by distance" implies there meaningful way measure distance. trouble std::unordered_set is is, well, unordered . hence, there no meaningful way of explaining "some distance beginning" in non-arbitrary way. if want access distance, copy data vector: std::vector tmp(unordered.begin(), unordered.end());
