[good advice from Paul snipped]



Paul does it matter if I'm using these Perl Regular Expressions in C+
+ ? Is the implementation of this RegEx engine not the same uner any
platform ? Its not working in C++.

Yes, it matters. Since this group is about the Perl language, everybody
who read your post assumed you were talking about the Perl regular
expression engine. Other regex engines will have their own
implementation and their own rules. You cannot assume that what is true
for Perl is also true for the regex engine you are using. You need to
read the documentation for the implementation you are using.
