Re: [Boost-users] [regex] Context-sensitive replacement of text usingregex_replace

Hi Ken, what I suggest you do is look at the source for regex_replace: it's actually a pretty simple application of of regex_iterator internally, it should be fairly trivial to modify that to do what you want it to,

HTH, John.

Hi John, Having done something similar a number of times, I wonder if it would be worth implementing a variant of regex_replace where a functor is called that accepts the matched string and returns the replacement string. I think this is a common usage scenario. For example .NET regex's implement this. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ht1sxswy.aspx Neil Hunt P.S. Thanks for the great library, and getting it into the C++ spec.
