[Boost-users] Boost.Regex - Match whole word

Hi All,

  I'm developing my own grep tool and I would like to specify an
option to match a whole word. Which mean, if I'm looking for 'main' I
don't want to match 'mainVariation' but things like 'main(int' or
'one,main,two'. The equivalent of what you will find in any decent
search tool :).

  I look through regex documentation and didn't find anything about
that. If it's not implemented, is it planned to be ? Or shall the
Boost.Regex user handle this applying some pre-processing on the
regular expression to perform such task ?

  Thank you.
