John, I had in the code. It's just when I wrote this in the email, I forgot
to double escape them.
Sorry about that, anyhow it still doesn't work with double escapes.

Hello all, I have the following regular expression, but it doesn't match to this text "REVENUE ................................................... $10,481.1"

Don't you need to double up those escapes? Remember that C++ consumes the first \ so you need \\ to pass an escape to the regex engine:
const char* pattern[] = "Revenue[\\s\\.]*\\$?\\s*([0-9,\\.]*)";
HTH, John.
