Thanks for your answer, I think it's clear : So you mean that BOOST_REGEX_MATCH_EXTRA is made for matching for exemple somethingsomething in the string : "blablablasomethingsomethingblablabla". Is it right? In fact I want extract all the link from a webpage. I want to used the regex because this is faster than doing a DOM tree from the webpage. So I want doing the perl equivalent of @matches =~ m/.*(regex_of_the_url_with_href).*/gs g flag because I want extract all of the url. s flag beacause I want that "." match "\n" too. ----- Message d'origine ---- De : John Maddock À : boost-users@lists.boost.org Envoyé le : Mardi, 13 Novembre 2007, 17h13mn 26s Objet : Re: [Boost-users] RE : Re: compilation trouble with boost::regex hallouina-ml@yahoo.fr wrote:

I need Perl style capture like m/(some_regex)/g

because I need the g flag (to capture more than one time my regex). So if I understand the documentation (as you can see, my english is far from beeing perfect...) ; if I want to use the g flag equivalent in my regex, I need to enable this feature.

Oh no you don't :-) The Perl /g flag is something different again: the equivalent functionality in Boost.Regex is regex_iterator, which enumerates one at a time over all the possible matches in a string. Repeated captures come into play when you have say an expression "(something)+" matched against "somethingsomething" in which case in Perl: $0 = "somethingsomething" $1 = "something" With BOOST_REGEX_MATCH_EXTRA enabled then $1 contains a list of all the "something"'s matched by the first capturing group within a single overall match.
