Hi!
My company have been using pcre for a long while but there has been gripes about it only returning the last matched value from a capture group. Because of this I have been searching for a C++ regex engine

This sounds really great and I have every intention of taking this change once I grok it and look over the code. Can you open a feature request ticket at http://svn.boost.org so I don't forget, because I'm a little busy at the moment.
Ticket #4704: Support for multicapture and balancing groups
For note, depending on what exactly you need to parse, but if you can statically define the parse then Boost.Spirit can do all you want and a whole lot more with a lot more simple code and it will execute a lot faster. If you have an example of what you want done, I (or others) can give an example Spirit code to do the same if you want a comparison.
That is a kind offer but unfortunately I don't have the luxury of static expressions. The regex patterns is stored in a database and other sources and we use them for a wide range of tasks. But I surly will take a look at Spirit anyway, just so I might have another tool in my belt ready when needed. Thanks Erik
