Hello All,
I'm probably missing something obivous here.....So please fogive me if it's
a basic error.
I am using regex for the first time on MSVC 6 and would like to create a
simple function that could pass in a string and an expression to do a
regular match on it. I believe I have successfully compiled this library,
but I don't understand why either of these simple functions are not
working....
bool TestStr (std::string& szExpr, const std::string& szSearch)
{
bool bResult=false;
boost::regex cExpr(szExpr);
bResult = boost::regex_match(szSearch, cExpr);
return bResult;
}
or
bool TestStr2 (std::string& szExpr, std::string& szSearch)
{
return boost::regex_match(szSearch, boost::regex(szExpr));
}
After debugging these routines, it appears thta the boost::regex declaration
fails (at least for the first function) returning a Kernel32.dll exception
with some kind of address.
The credit card example implies that the search and the regex example I have
observed keeps the regex expressions as constansts inside the function, but
I would like to be able to parse in my own string
Questions?
1. Wht doesn't any of the functions work?
2. Is there a tutorial outside of the regex library I could look at.
3. I would be interested to know if anyone had any POSIX regex examples....
Many thanks in advance,
Richard
