- [section:non_std_strings Interfacing With Non-Standard String Types]
- The Boost.Regex algorithms and iterators are all iterator-based,
- with convenience overloads of the algorithms provided that convert
- standard library string types to iterator pairs internally. If you want
- to search a non-standard string type then the trick is to convert that string
- into an iterator pair: so far I haven't come across any string types that
- can't be handled this way, even if they're not officially iterator based.
- Certainly any string type that provides access to it's internal buffer, along
- with it's length, can be converted into a pair of pointers (which can be
- used as iterators).
- Some non-standard string types are sufficiently common that wrappers have been
- provided for them already: currently this includes the ICU and MFC string class
- types.
