Re: [Boost-users] [regex] Context-sensitive replacement oftextusingregex_replace

...

Having done something similar a number of times, I wonder if it would be worth implementing a variant of regex_replace where a functor is called that accepts the matched string and returns the replacement string.

I think this is a common usage scenario.

Me too: I was thinking exactly this as I wrote that reply, I'll try and add this for the next release - can I get you to file a feature request at svn.boost.org so I don't forget?

find_format_all, in the String_Algo library, with a regex_finder and a custom formatter, can be used for that, IIUC.
