NOTE: the Regex++ we are using was downloaded from the original author's site, not entirely with the Boost library. we can't understand this error. if we downloaded and installed it according to the installation instructions for VC++, how can a function be missing?

That's your problem right there: in fact I no longer have a version for download on my web pages (www.johnmaddock.co.uk), but there is an old compuserve web site of mine that keeps getting resurrected that contains a *very* old pre-boost version of the library. Unfortunately I no longer have an account or any means of removing that old web site :-(

Please be sure to use the latest Boost version as it contains quite a number of bug fixes, as well as the function you're looking for,

salutations,

1) I am not sure if the version we downloaded is the pre-boost one, because the site I downloaded it from makes reference to the boost library. I downloaded it from a tutorial: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/string/regex__.aspx and followed this tutorial's steps for installation. 2) how can I download only boost::regex? is it necessary to download the entire boost library? does it work with VC++ 6.0? can I use the same installation steps of that tutorial?

You can download all of boost, but build just regex with --with-regex on the bjam build line I think (can someone confirm?).
