Re: [Boost-users] regex_search in std::string

The 1st regex_search looking at input_line char[] works Ok it's the 2nd one looking at date_and_time_s std::string that gets the error. If I remark out the 2nd one the program builds and I watch the input_line doing what it should in the debugger.

Also this code used to work before I upgraded from Visual C++6 to Visual C++8 and from bost_1_33_1 to boost_1_34_0. I don't know if it was the change in compiler or the boost lib that broke this.

In VC6 this worked "by accident" because const char* and std::string::const_iterator were the same type. That's not true in general, and you should use boost::smatch as the match_results type for use with std::string's. HTH, John.
