Re: [Boost-users] Problem with regular expression's validity and matching

std::wstring csRegex(L"((\(\d{3}\)?)|(\d{3}))([\s-./]?)(\d{3})([\s-./]?)(\d{4})")

Hi Steve, I didn't hardcode the value like the example you pointed out. I read the value from a CDATA section in an xml document so the value should be probably escaped and stored in csRegex, which is a CString. Thanks Steven Watanabe writes:

How do you create the regex?

std::wstring csRegex(L"((\(\d{3}\)?)|(\d{3}))([\s-./]?)(\d{3})([\s-./]?)(\d{4})")

won't work because the \'s are handled by the compiler before they get to the regex library.

In Christ, Steven Watanabe
