[Boost-users] Question on data structure usage

Hi, I have a map as follows, boost::unordered_map sample_map; I would like to look up the keys using wildcards/regex from the user and get the values corresponding to it(get multiple matches). It looked like there is no straightforward way to do it. So, I was thinking as an when I populate the map, I create a seperate data structure to store the keys, so that I can get the values(list) that match my user inputted regex/wildcard search. The I use this list to get the values from the map. What data structure can I use for this purpose? Is my approach correct? Or can I do this directly using the map? Please help me solve this problem. Thanks, -R
