Re: [boost] [regex] specify parenthesis

Hi

is there a way to specify open and closed parenthesis with a regular expression syntax? For instance, if I'd want to specify a single regular expression that matches both (foo) and [foo] and {foo}?

Probably not what you wanted, but: [(\[{]foo[)\]}] sort of does what you want, but if you want to ensure that the brackets match up, then it's down to: \[foo\]|\(foo\)|\{foo\} John.
