Description

ext_string aims to provide a portable, bug-free implementation of many useful extensions to the standard STL string class. These extensions are commonly available among higher-level languages such as Perl and Python, but C++ programmers are generally left on their own when it comes to basic string processing. By extending the STL's string, we can provide a drop-in replacement for STL strings with the greater functionality of higher-level languages.

The primary goal of this library is to make the STL string class more usable to programmers that are doing simple string manipulation on a small scale. Due to the usability goals of this class, many actions will be inefficiently implemented for the sake of ease of use. Some of this is mitigated somewhat by doing modification in-place, however many unnecessary copies of data are created by some methods, and the vector-returning methods are inefficient in that they copy the substrings into the vector, then return a copy of the vector. This would be much more efficient as an iterator model.
