[xpressive] How can I get nested match_results?

20 May 2008

      My program is the following.
And my question is:

I can get match_result such as item[time], item[count]. But, how can I get
nested match_results, eg. item[time][year], item[time][month]?

Best Regards,

        std::cout << matched << '\n';
        std::cout << item[time] << ' ' << item[count] << '\n';
    }
