Re: Forward lookahead - abysmal failure

15 Jun 2003


      Here's the code - thanks in advance for any help!

BOOL RegularExpressionMatch(const char *pstrRegEx, const char 
*pstrExpression, BOOL bCaseSensitive)
{
	BOOL bRet;

	if(!pstrRegEx || !pstrExpression)
		return FALSE;

	try
	{
		int nCase = boost::regbase::normal;

		if(bCaseSensitive == FALSE)
		{
			nCase |= boost::regbase::icase;
		}

		boost::regex expression(pstrRegEx,nCase);
			
		if(boost::regex_match(pstrExpression, expression))
		{
			bRet = TRUE;
		}
		else
		{
			bRet = FALSE;
		}
	}
	catch(CSEHWrapper a)
	{
		if(pstrRegEx)
		{
			printf("ERROR: RegularExpressionMatch(%s): 
Exception %s ocurred", pstrRegEx, GetExceptionDesc(a.m_nSeCode));
		}
		else
		{
			printf("ERROR: RegularExpressionMatch(): 
Exception %s ocurred", GetExceptionDesc(a.m_nSeCode));
		}

		bRet = FALSE;
	}
	catch(...)
	{
	}

	return bRet;
}

Tried to use the forward lookahead asserts, both positive and 
negative and could not make a match. Is there some sample code 
anywhere or a tip to explain where I went wrong?
Please post an example of what you're trying to do.
John.
