[Boost-users] [regex] how to search backward?

Hello all,

i'm trying to search a regular expression backward. I use iterators.
I suspect that i should use something like that, but i could not find 
documentation confirming:

while (pos != start)
{
    if (boost::regex_search (start, end, results, regex,
                        ::regex_constants::match_continuous))
        // it's ok;
    --start;
}

Is it the right idea? (using macth_continuous?)

Regards
Armel
