| 27 | <P>The Boost.Regex algorithms and iterators are all iterator-based, with |
|---|
| 28 | convenience overloads of the algorithms provided that convert standard library |
|---|
| 29 | string types to iterator pairs internally. If you want to search a |
|---|
| 30 | non-standard string type then the trick is to convert that string into an |
|---|
| 31 | iterator pair: so far I haven't come across any string types that can't be |
|---|
| 32 | handled this way, even if they're not officially iterator based. |
|---|
| 33 | Certainly any string type that provides access to it's internal buffer, along |
|---|
| 34 | with it's length, can be converted into a pair of pointers (which can be used |
|---|
| 35 | as iterators).</P> |
|---|
| 36 | <P>Some non-standard string types are sufficiently common that wappers have been |
|---|
| 37 | provided for them:</P> |
