    Regex problem

    I'm trying to strip some simple HTML tags out of a randomly selected piece of test HTML code. I'm trying to use:

    Code:
    boost::match_results<std::string::const_iterator> what; 
    	
    	while(boost::regex_search(line, what, boost::regex("<[^<>]+>", oost::regex_constants::icase)))
    	{
    		cout<<what.str(1)<<endl;
    		
    		//Delete the first line from line
    		line = what.str(2);
    	}
    But that deletes everything. What am I doing wrong?

    I don't know why that was copied over incorrectly by the way. In the while statement, where I do boost::regex_constants::icase it really is correct. That's not the problem.

    If anyone is curious, I fixed the problem. I was missing the (...) around the regex. I hate dumb mistakes.
