#2518: RegEx with $ anchor not Perl-compatible
--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: Chad Martin <chad.e.martin_at_[hidden]> | Owner: johnmaddock

Milestone: Boost 1.38.0 | Component: regex
Version: Boost 1.37.0 | Severity: Problem
Keywords: |
--------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
If I try to match a string like "WORD1 WORD2" with boost::regex
lastWordCapture("(\\w+)$"); in order to capture WORD2, the regex_match
fails. If I modify the regex to ".*?(\\w+)$", it works fine. The
following Perl code captures and prints WORD2 as expected.
$string = "WORD1 WORD2";
if ($string =~ /(\w+)$/){
print "$1\n";
}
