John, I had in the code. It's just when I wrote this in the email, I forgot to double escape them.
Sorry about that, anyhow it still doesn't work with double escapes.

Don't you need to double up those escapes? Remember that C++ consumes the
first \ so you need \\ to pass an escape to the regex engine:
const char* pattern[] = "Revenue[\\s\\.]*\\$?\\s*([0-9,\\.]*)";
HTH, John.
