Thank you.
But on the "POSIX Extended Regular Expression Syntax" page
the escape sequence \w is very well listed:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_57_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/syntax/basic_extended.html#boost_regex.syntax.basic_extended._quot_single_character_quot__character_classes_

This indicates a possible error either in the regex lib or in the above doc, 
isn't it?
