RE: [Boost-Users] newbie regex problem

Hi Mark,

boost::regex_match requires the regex to match the _whole_ string, use
another regex - "^Now.*$" - or another method - boost::regex_search.

See the documentation:

  http://www.boost.org/libs/regex/template_class_ref.htm#query_match
  http://www.boost.org/libs/regex/template_class_ref.htm#reg_search

Subject: [Boost-Users] newbie regex problem

Everything builds and runs fine, I'm just not getting the result I expect.

std::string sString = "Now is the time for all good men..."; std::string
sRegEx1 = "^Now";

boost::regex regex1( sRegEx1 );
CPPUNIT_ASSERT( boost::regex_match(sString, regex1) );

is failing.

I have to assume I'm doing something really stupid. Could someone tell 
me what?

Thanks,
  - Mark
