Description

Find iterator encapsulates a Finder and allows for incremental searching in a string. Each increment moves the iterator to the next match.

Find iterator is a readable forward traversal iterator.

Dereferencing the iterator yields an iterator_range delimiting the current match.

find_iterator public construct/copy/destruct

  1. find_iterator(const find_iterator & Other);
    Default constructor.

    Construct null iterator. All null iterators are equal.

    Construct a copy of the find_iterator

    Postconditions:

    eof()==true Copy constructor

  2. template<typename FinderT, typename RangeT> 
      find_iterator(RangeT & Col, FinderT Finder);
    Constructor.

    Construct new find_iterator for a given finder and a range.

find_iterator public member functions

  1.  BOOST_DEFAULTED_FUNCTION(find_iterator & operator = (const find_iterator &Other), 
                              { if(this==&Other) return *this;this->base_type::operator=(Other);m_Match=Other.m_Match;m_End=Other.m_End;return *this;});
    Copy assignment.

    Assigns a copy of the find_iterator Constructor

    Construct new find_iterator for a given finder and a range.

  2. IteratorT FinderT m_Match(Begin, Begin);
  3. IteratorT FinderT m_End(End);
  4. bool eof() const;
    Eof check.

    Check the eof condition. Eof condition means that there is nothing more to be searched i.e. find_iterator is after the last match.

find_iterator private member functions

  1. const match_type & dereference() const;
  2. void increment();
  3. bool equal(const find_iterator & Other) const;
