Is there a way in Boost Regex to interpret a "{" as a literal character in the above context in a Perl regular expression, while still allowing the "{n,m}" bounded repeat in places where it is syntactically valid?
Yep, just escape the { and } and use \{abc\} which will work the same in Perl/PCRE and Boost. I hadn't realised Perl worked like that, can you file a bug report at svn.boost.org so I don't forget this? Thanks, John.
