[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.try to match not string data with re2.
example) binary data \00\01\02\03 with pattern \x00\x01

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
1.Re2 is not supporting to match not string data that I know.
2.Is it possiable data including null characher match to pattern like '\x00'?
3.If not, Do you have any plan to support in the future?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

I believe you are trying to use a string constant like "\x00\x01\x02\x03". That 
will not work because it shows up in C++ as a C string constant, and C strings 
are measured with strlen, which stops at the \x00. Instead, you can write 
something like re2::StringPiece("\x00\x01\x02\x03", 4), and I think that will 
work.
