Hi All I am newbie to boost::regex. I have a string including multiple new lines characters in it like the one below.

"this is a big string\nthat I would like\ntoParse here: WORD_TO_FIND=Ciao\nin the middle"

I tried the following regex but it doesn't match.

boost::regex ln0("WORD_TO_FIND=\t(?<SYMBOL>\\w+).+", boost::regex::perl );

Do you know what is the option and how to set it up to enable the matching for an entire string and not line by line?

Do not quote me, I am not that knowledgeable about regex, but give this a try, add a g\ to the beginning of your parsing line, or \g or \g\ or something like that, I think it means global...
