Hi all,

I am not really familiar with regexp, an I am facing a problem. I have some
strings containing unicode sequences (like "\u****"), and I would like to
replace them with html sequences (such that "\u****" becomes "&#x****;"). I
think I can do that with boost regexp, but I really do not know how. The
major problem is that I do not now in advance what are the characters for
"****". I however know that they are always 4 and alphanumeric. So, I have
to detect them and also append after a ";".
Do you have any hint on how to do that?

Best regards,

Olivier
