I am using regex for the first time on MSVC 6
You DO know that MSVC 6 is an abomination against everything good in the world, right? Right?
bool TestStr (std::string& szExpr
Hungarian notation is evil. And here, you're not even using it correctly. std::string's aren't lame null-terminated C strings. And you should take the first argument by const reference.
bool bResult=false;
This would, uhhh, be better written as return regex_match(... I guess you do this in TestStr2, which doesn't take either of its arguments by const reference like it should.
boost::regex_match(szSearch, cExpr);
Wouldn't you like to be a Koenig lookup too?</Johnny Five>
it appears thta the boost::regex declaration fails
Is the regex, which you do not provide here, correctly formed?
1. Wht doesn't any of the functions work?
I'd tend to blame your crummy compiler (although Boost does bend over backwards to support twentieth century technology). Stephan T. Lavavej http://nuwen.net
