Hi, I am using the regex library and using the following expression. But it seems it is wrong. Since there is no compilation or linker error but runtime error. the expression is boost::regex e("*\\.exe") and the call to regex_match is if (boost::regex_match((*dir_itr).native_file_string(),e)) But as soon as I use * it throws some runtime error. If I remove "\\." and "*". It works fine. Does anyone have such issue. Thanks with best regards, Vikrant

Try ".*\\.exe" Regex's "*" matches any number of the _previous expression_. --rich
Thanks all for your help. It indeed did work. On 4 Feb 2004 at 8:36, Rich Johnson wrote:

I think that you should try: boost::regex e(".*\\.exe") The '*' must follow a valid regular expresion.
