* SearchIterator defines a protocol for text searching. * Subclasses provide concrete implementations of various search algorithms. * For example, StringSearch implements language-sensitive pattern * matching based on the comparison rules defined in a * RuleBasedCollator object. *
* Other options for searching includes using a BreakIterator to restrict * the points at which matches are detected. *
* SearchIterator provides an API that is similar to that of * other text iteration classes such as BreakIterator. Using * this class, it is easy to scan through text looking for all occurances of * a given pattern. The following example uses a StringSearch * object to find all instances of "fox" in the target string. Any other * subclass of SearchIterator can be used in an identical * manner. *
* UnicodeString target("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy fox");
* UnicodeString pattern("fox");
*
* SearchIterator *iter = new StringSearch(pattern, target);
* UErrorCode error = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* for (int pos = iter->first(error); pos != USEARCH_DONE;
* pos = iter->next(error)) {
* printf("Found match at %d pos, length is %d\n", pos,
* iter.getMatchLength());
* }
