Hi, I have a problem using the Boost regex library. I have isolated the problem to the attached piece of code. For some reason the output returned by the function that uses regex is garbage. I have tested the same program on a Linux version of boost and it works fine. I wonder if the problem is on the Windows installation. Could someone using Windows or Cygwin test this and tell me if it works? I've just re-installed the cygwin version (1.33.1-3) and I still get the same error. Here is a typical interaction. It should extract the XML attribute and value but instead it returns garbage: [diego@valencia ~...af/src]$ g++ -o regexError.exe regexError.cpp -lboost_regex-gcc-mt [diego@valencia ~...af/src]$ regexError Write a fragment of XML: this <test arg="a1">is a test</test> yeah Write the XML tag to search: test Found element is a test Searching arg="a1" Found attribute 1g with value a1 Write a fragment of XML: this <test a2="more">is another test</test> Write the XML tag to search: test Found element is another test Searching a2="more" Found attribute or with value morY Write a fragment of XML: end [diego@valencia ~...af/src]$ -- Do you want to know what is going on in Language Technology in Australia and New Zealand?
