[Boost-users] Boost.regex expression construction

Hi Guys I am using boost.regex to check whether a string has opening and closing brackets. The problem is the expression doesnt work. I have tried all sorts of combos and read up the doc too to no avail. Can someone tell me whether the following does what its supposed to (i.e. look for opening/closing brackets in a string): boost::regex e("[\\(\\)]"); /*check for opening/closing brackets*/ Regards
