Re: [Boost-Users] Regex and Unicode

I'm trying to use Unicode with Regex in an MFC app. The preprocessor variable UNICODE is defined. But I obtain an error on the line :

regex_search(sText, oResults, pRegExp); error C2665: none of the 4 overloads can convert parameter 1 from type 'class CString'

sText is a CString which has a "const wchar_t*" operator. The problem is why doesn't the regex_search prototype require a "const wchar_t*" when UNICODE is defined ?

You did, use sText.c_str() to get a const wchat_t*, otherwise there are too many overloaded forms of the function for the conversion to be found automatically. John Maddock http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/john_maddock/index.htm
