Re: [Boost-users] Newbie conversion of C# to boost::regex

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+ John.
