[Boost-users] Re: Some trouble with "regex_replace()"

You have to double up escapes, and also escape '$'s as well: see the format string syntax for a guide, maybe I should add a "format_literal" option as well though,

I am wrapping some classes in our existing application, which have the interface that a regular expression will be replaced exactly with the given string, so I have no influence to the input and I don't know what things are in this string, what was given to me. So my hope was, that I can force this behaviour with some flags, but what I see from your answer it will not exist. So can you give me a hint where the best location is, where I can implement "format_literal" for my personal boost library? I need this functionality! Arno
