Re: [boost] [Regex] Word boundary pattern does not match

Hi,

I use the boost v1.35 regex library on Windows XP.

Have I done something wrong in my pattern or in my code (match flags,...) ?

I think this is a bug: currently \B only matches *within a word*, but I've checked what Perl does and that matches anything that isn't a word boundary, including those outside of a word. There's an easy fix that I'm committing, but in the mean time you could use: (?<=\W)\*(?=\W) as an alternative. HTH, John.
