I am compiling the program using the following option g++ -ggdb -lboost_regex -o regex regex.cpp but it is giving error. #include #include <iostream> void print_captures(const std::string& regx, const std::string& text) { boost::regex e(regx); boost::smatch what; std::cout << "Expression: \"" << regx << "\"\n"; std::cout << "Text: \"" << text << "\"\n"; if(boost::regex_match(text, what, e, boost::match_extra)) { unsigned i, j; std::cout << "** Match found **\n Sub-Expressions:\n"; for(i = 0; i < what.size(); ++i) std::cout << " $" << i << " = \"" << what[i] << "\"\n"; std::cout << " Captures:\n"; for(i = 0; i < what.size(); ++i) { std::cout << " $" << i << " = {"; for(j = 0; j < what.captures(i).size(); ++j) { if(j) std::cout << ", "; else std::cout << " "; std::cout << "\"" << what.captures(i)[j] << "\""; } std::cout << " }\n"; } } else { std::cout << "** No Match found **\n"; } } int main(int , char* []) { print_captures("(([[:lower:]]+)|([[:upper:]]+))+", "aBBcccDDDDDeeeeeeee"); print_captures("(.*)bar|(.*)bah", "abcbar"); print_captures("(.*)bar|(.*)bah", "abcbah"); print_captures("^(?:(\\w+)|(?>\\W+))*$", "now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party"); return 0; } Error message: regex.cpp: In function ‘void print_captures(const std::string&, const std::string&)’: regex.cpp:20: error: ‘class boost::smatch’ has no member named ‘captures’ regex.cpp:26: error: ‘class boost::smatch’ has no member named ‘captures’ How can i avoid that.
