I'm taking a look at

how to access the capture start location with match_extra? I'll keep
digging but if anyone out there knows of a shortcut to the answer,
it'd be appreciated.

Here's some code adapted from the regex chapter in:
"Beyond the C++ Standard Library ... an Introduction to Boost:

#include <iostream>
#include 
class regex_callback {
private:
  int sum_;
public:
  regex_callback() : sum_(0) {}

  template <typename T> void operator() (const T& what) {
    sum_ += atoi(what[1].str().c_str());
    std::cout << "Position: " << what.position(1)
            << " Length: " << what.length(1)
           << std::endl;
  }

   int sum() const
  {
      return sum_;
  }
};

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
   boost::regex reg("(\\d+),?");
   std::string s="1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21";
   boost::sregex_iterator it(s.begin(), s.end(), reg);
   boost::sregex_iterator end;
   regex_callback c;
   int sum = for_each(it, end, c).sum();
   std::cout << "Sum: " << sum << std::endl;
   return 0;
}

If I understand your question, the snippet sample code related to
"Captures"
can be adapted:

Hi all,
Quick question about the Boost::Regex library.  Is there a way to
identify, with sub-matches, where a match in the search string is
made and the length of the match?  For instance, with the following
regular expression and search string:
Regex ==> "(\d+)"
Search String ==> "Give me 100 dollars or give me 2001 dollars."
Is there a way to determine that the subexpression matched at
positions 8 and 31 in the search string, and that the lengths of 
the
matches were three and four characters?
Thanks
