Variable length look-behind isn't support by Boost.Regex (or by Perl for that matter).
Sorry I can't be more helpful at present: although it seems as though lookbehind isn't really needed in this case - you could remove the lookbehind and use a marked sub-expression to identify the section you want instead.
The subexpression was the whole point of trying boost so I will assume you are right and continue. However, the inability to catch the problem with (...) combined with the linker comment made me a little concerned about the build accuracy.
Sorry, what linker comment? The thrown boost::regex_error is caught OK for me (on VC8), which compiler are you using? You could try catching by const reference instead to see if that helps at all... HTH, John.
