I'm just getting my head around regular expressions, and I'm using the Boost Regex library.
I have a need to use a regex that includes a specific URL, and it chokes because obviously there are characters in the URL that are reserved for regex and need to be escaped.
Is there any function or method in the Boost library to escape a string for this kind of usage? I know there are such methods in most other regex implementations, but I don't see one in Boost.
Alternatively, is there a list of all characters that would need to be escaped?
