Given these definitions:
  RE: " 
(ip=|\\(|\\[)(\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3}\\.\\d{1,3})(\\]|\\)|,|;| 
|\n)";
  Text: "BLAH ([1.2.3.4]) [5.6.7.8] ip=100.100.200.200 BLAH2 
(77.48.32.42)\n";
the following code prints:
 IP=5.6.7.8 100.100.200.200 77.48.32.42
I wonder why it skips the first IP, ie. 1.2.3.4 ?
Is there something wrong in my RE definition above, the code below, or 
in boost::regex?
I'm sure it's just a silly error of mine but I don't see it... :-(
The problem is the leading space in the regex.
