## Class template find_iterator

boost::algorithm::find_iterator — find_iterator

## Synopsis

    // In header: <boost/algorithm/string/find_iterator.hpp>

    template<typename IteratorT>
    class find_iterator {
    public:
      // construct/copy/destruct
      find_iterator();
      find_iterator(const find_iterator &);
      template<typename FinderT> find_iterator(IteratorT, IteratorT, FinderT);
      template<typename FinderT, typename RangeT> find_iterator(RangeT &, FinderT);

      // public member functions
      bool eof() const;

      // private member functions
      const match_type & dereference() const;
      void increment();
      bool equal(const find_iterator &) const;
    };

## 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();

   Default constructor.

   Construct null iterator. All null iterators are equal.

   Postconditions: | eof()==true

2.     find_iterator(const find_iterator & Other);

   Copy constructor.

   Construct a copy of the find_iterator

3.     template<typename FinderT>
         find_iterator(IteratorT Begin, IteratorT End, FinderT Finder);

   Constructor.

   Construct new find_iterator for a given finder and a range.

4.     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.     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;
