[Boost-users] Problem using regex library in Windows/cygwin

Hi,

I have a problem using the Boost regex library. I have isolated the  
problem to the attached piece of code. For some reason the output returned  
by the function that uses regex is garbage. I have tested the same program  
on a Linux version of boost and it works fine. I wonder if the problem is  
on the Windows installation. Could someone using Windows or Cygwin test  
this and tell me if it works?

I've just re-installed the cygwin version (1.33.1-3) and I still get the  
same error.

Here is a typical interaction. It should extract the XML attribute and  
value but instead it returns garbage:

[diego_at_valencia ~...af/src]$ g++ -o regexError.exe regexError.cpp  
-lboost_regex-gcc-mt
[diego_at_valencia ~...af/src]$ regexError
Write a fragment of XML:
this <test arg="a1">is a test</test> yeah
Write the XML tag to search:
test
Found element is a test
Searching  arg="a1"
  Found attribute 1g with value a1
Write a fragment of XML:
this <test a2="more">is another test</test>
Write the XML tag to search:
test
Found element is another test
Searching  a2="more"
  Found attribute or with value morY
Write a fragment of XML:
end
[diego_at_valencia ~...af/src]$
