Thanks Eric. I'm reading "Mastering Regular Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedl. ;-)
I'll make sure to read the boost::regex documentation, as well. I was
just carried away.
Thanks again.

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. :-)
