Subject: [Boost-users] Regex question: is this a bug or a feature?
From: Ramon F Herrera (ramon_at_[hidden])

My pattern matching was failing when I had these definitions, which I
happen to prefer:
const string number = "[0-9]+";
const string name = "[A-z][A-z0-9]*";
("name" is supposed to match a typical variable name)
The program is working fine now, after I am using these ones:
const string number = "\\d+";
const string name = "[A-z]\\w*";
The only difference that I aware of, is that the second form accepts
underscores as part of variable names.
TIA,
