Best wishes for 2008!
After studying the fine print
for the "Next Big Thing (tm)"
I *still* found no word about
one big issue, the "raw string"
or "verbatim string" etc.
Whats so complicated with this
little detail? After working
a while with the Boost::Regex
(which goes into TR1), I have
to say - it's like to repaper a
room through the keyhole in it's
door - i end up writing and testing
the regular expression in Perl and
converting the result then by doubling
it's length by added backslashes - to
C++ strings.
Maybe somebody can enlighten me
whats wrong with raw strings
(as every other single language
of some importance nowadays has
them).
What about
char stuff[] = R' this is verbatim (\s* \w+ \s* $)';
Thanks and regards
Mirco
