Hello,

I am quite new to Boost Xpressive, I am using C++ on Visual Studio 2013 and Boost 1_58_0

I need to clean up some text from all HTML tags
I an trying to use this regex:

wsregex html_any_tag_regex = wsregex::compile("^([^<]*)?<([A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]*)[^>]*>(.+)<\\/(\\2)>(.*)?$");

this regex causes compilation error:
 error C2664: 'int boost::mpl::assertion_failed<false>(boost::mpl::assert<false>::type)' : cannot convert argument 1 from 'boost::mpl::failed ************boost::is_same&lt;wchar_t,char&gt;::* ***********' to 'boost::mpl::assert<false>::type'

I tested my regex here:
http://www.myezapp.com/apps/dev/regexp/show.ws
and it is parsed exactly to my needs.

What am I doing wrong?
Thank you

Mia
