I'm trying to write a parser for URIs. I tried the grammar straight from
RFC 2396
boost::regex
parser("^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?",
boost::regex::perl|boost::regex::icase);
This does not work since it I get an exception due to invalid regular
expression.
I found another regular expression, which does not throw an exception
but does not give me the parts of the URI using boost::match_result
boost::regex
parser("(([a-zA-Z][0-9a-zA-Z+\\-\\.]*:)?/{0,2}[0-9a-zA-Z;/?:@&=+$\\.\\-_
!~*'()%]+)?/{0,1}([0-9a-zA-Z;/?:@&=+$\\.\\-_!~*'()%]+)?(#[0-9a-zA-Z;/?:@
&=+$\\.\\-_!~*'()%]+)?",
boost::regex::perl|boost::regex::icase);
What am I doing wrong here?
