        Hi, 
        
           I'm new to regex.  This is basically what I was trying. 
        
        #include <iostream>
        #include <boost/regex.hpp>
        
        int main()
        {
            std::string input = "sand._12";
           boost::regex reg(".*\._[0-9]+");
         
         If you're trying to escape the "." you probably also need to
escape the "\" by using "\\". It is a C string after all.
