| string_type str( size_type n = 0 ) const; | | (since C++11) | | -------------------------------------------- | | ------------- |

Returns a string representing the indicated sub-match.

If n == 0, a string representing entire matched expression is returned.

The call is equivalent to string_type((*this)[n]);

ready() must be true. Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.
