##### Introduction to Boost.Regex and MFC Strings

The header `<boost/regex/mfc.hpp>` provides Boost.Regex support for MFC string types: note that this support requires Visual Studio .NET (Visual C++ 7) or later, where all of the MFC and ATL string types are based around the CSimpleStringT class template.

In the following documentation, whenever you see CSimpleStringT<charT>, then you can substitute any of the following MFC/ATL types (all of which inherit from CSimpleStringT):

    CString
    CStringA
    CStringW
    CAtlString
    CAtlStringA
    CAtlStringW
    CStringT<charT,traits>
    CFixedStringT<charT,N>
    CSimpleStringT<charT>
