I seem to be failing on line 767 of basic_regex_creator.hpp.

Any assistance is appreciated.

If I had to guess, I'd say the problem is "(?

That happens when you have a lookbehind expression that's not supported: as Eric has already pointed out Boost.Regex doesn't support variable width lookbehind, neither do PCRE or or Perl as far as I know. It's technically possible to do, although doing so efficiently is quite hard, and for questionable gain at present. HTH, John.
