I am trying to convert the following C# code over to using
boost::regex
MatchCollection col = new
Regex(@"\w+").Matches(@"slx://account/123456"); string table =
col[1].Value;
string id = col[2].Value;
Table would equal "account" and id would equal "123456" in this.
Ive tried using regex_match with this but it always finds no matches.
Any sugestions ?
C++ gobbles up \'s in starings, so it looks you want "\\w+" so that the
regex engine gets to see \w+

Hi,

Ive tried that, however been a complete newbie to boost im probably still 
missing something obvious. Heres the test code so far

#include 
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include 
using namespace std;
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
string uri ("slx://account/12345");
boost::regex re ("\\w+");
boost::cmatch what;
if (boost::regex_match(uri.c_str(), what, re))
{
cout << what[0] << endl;
cout << what[1] << endl;
cout << what[2] << endl;
}
else
{
cout << "nowt matched" << endl;
}
return 0;
}
