Thanks for your help. (And all the effort that went into the regex library.) I'm using 1.31.0 (unpatched). After a more careful examination, my problem was that I was passing the wrong kind of allocator as a template parameter. Richard

The regex library is extremely helpful: thanks for all your efforts.

I've got a problem with gcc and stlport and boost: when I try to get a submatch on other platforms, I can take my match object, m, and do things like

m[n].str(); // works great elsewhere

But with gcc / stlport, with BOOST_NO_STD_ALLOCATOR not defined, the const_reference type is defined as Allocator::const_reference (which is `const char'), rather than sub_match<BidiIterator>. So operator[] gives me a char, and life isn't so good.

Any hints as to where I went astray?

Works for me (with Boost-1.31.0 + latest patches), what version are you using?

John.
