Hi there, I was under the expression that a regular expression which
works with perl would also work with boost::regex. The following very
simple test program doesn't work:
if( boost::regex_match( "query", boost::regex( "q[u]" )))
    {
        cout << "match" << endl;
    }
    else
    {
        cout << "no match" << endl;
    }
You should read the docs. regex_match only returns true if the regex
matches *all* of the input. Use regex_search.

And read the docs. :-)
