[Boost-users] How do I use regex to match two consecutive newlines?

3 Aug 2006

      I've tried matching like this:

	std::string input = filecontents;
	boost::regex re_paragraphs("\\n\\n");

	boost::sregex_token_iterator input_token_it(input.begin(), input.end(), 
re_paragraphs, -1);
	boost::sregex_token_iterator end_token_it;

	for( ; input_token_it != end_token_it; input_token_it++ )
	{
		output += "TOKEN FOUND"
	}
	return output;

But this never works. It matches when I use a part of a word as a token. 
The problem is that it's just not matching the newlines. I've looked 
into the input's hex and there are indeed two newline chars consecutively.

I think I'm missing something obvious. Anyone have any idea?
