Re: [Boost-users] [regex] function to escape regex control characterslike QRegExp::escape?

Is there a function to escape regex control characters like RegExp::escape already in boost::regex or perhaps boost::expressive?

No.... it depends upon the regular expression syntax as well, should be trivial to make a list of special characters and do a search and replace? Oh, and don't forget you can wrap the "literal" part of the expression in \Q ... \E which has the same effect. HTH, John.
