Hello everyone

Why does the following regex not match?

    boost::regex expected("foo");
    BOOST_CHECK(boost::regex_match("foo bar", expected));

Is there a flag I should set so that this regex matches? In perl, there 
would be a match in this case.
if ("foo bar" =~ /foo/) { ... }

Thanks for your hints.

James
