You don't need to use std::string in order to use Boost.Regex: the library 
is iterator based so as long as your character type is char or wchar_t then 
all you have to do is convert your own string type into either a pair of 
iterators, or a nul-terminated string, and pass those through to the regex 
constructor and algorithms.  Without more information about the string types 
that you are using I can't really help more than that.
