// This example illustrates how to read a series of 2D slices from
// independent files in order to compose a volume. The class
// \doxygen{ImageSeriesReader} is used for this purpose. This class works in
// combination with a generator of filenames that will provide a list of
// files to be read. In this particular example we use the
// \doxygen{RegularExpressionSeriesFileNames} class as filename generator.
// This generator uses a regular expression for generating a list of
// filenames. The filenames are then ordered according to sub expression.
//
// Regular expressions are a powerful, compact mechanism for parsing strings.
// Expressions consist of the following metacharacters:
//
// \begin{itemize}
//
// \item \^ Matches at beginning of a line
//
// \item \$ Matches at end of a line
//
// \item \. Matches any single character
//
// \item \[ \] Matches any character(s) inside the brackets
//
// \item \[\^ \] Matches any character(s) not inside the brackets
//
// \item \- Matches any character in range on either side of a dash
//
// \item \* Matches preceding pattern zero or more times
//
// \item \+ Matches preceding pattern one or more times
//
// \item \? Matches preceding pattern zero or once only
//
// \item \(\) Saves a matched expression and uses it in a later match
// \begin{itemize}
//
// Note that more than one of these metacharacters can be used in a single
// regular expression in order to create complex search patterns. For example,
// the pattern \{ [^ab1-9] } says to match any character sequence that
// does not begin with the characters "ab" followed by numbers in the
// series one through nine.
//
//
// In order to use the RegularExpressionSeriesFileNames class we should
// include the following headers as shown.
