今天看stl中的string得：
一 問(wèn)題：
舉例來(lái)說(shuō)，如果文本格式是：用戶(hù)名 電話(huà)號(hào)碼，文件名name.txt
Tom 23245332
Jenny 22231231
Heny 22183942
Tom 23245332
...
現(xiàn)在我們需要對(duì)用戶(hù)名排序，且只輸出不同的姓名。
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
如果使用C/C++ 就麻煩了，他需要做以下工作：
- 先打開(kāi)文件，檢測(cè)文件是否打開(kāi)，如果失敗，則退出。
- 聲明一個(gè)足夠大得二維字符數(shù)組或者一個(gè)字符指針數(shù)組
- 讀入一行到字符空間
- 然后分析一行的結(jié)構(gòu)，找到空格，存入字符數(shù)組中。
- 關(guān)閉文件
- 寫(xiě)一個(gè)排序函數(shù)，或者使用寫(xiě)一個(gè)比較函數(shù)，使用qsort排序
- 遍歷數(shù)組，比較是否有相同的，如果有，則要?jiǎng)h除，copy...
- 輸出信息
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
我們可以使用 fstream來(lái)代替麻煩的fopen fread fclose, 用vector 來(lái)代替數(shù)組。最重要的是用 string來(lái)代替char * 數(shù)組，使用sort排序算法來(lái)排序，用unique 函數(shù)來(lái)去重。聽(tīng)起來(lái)好像很不錯(cuò) 
。看看下面代碼(例程1）：
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
ifstream in("name.txt");
string strtmp;
vector<string> vect;
while(getline(in, strtmp, '\n'))
vect.push_back(strtmp.substr(0, strtmp.find(' ')));
sort(vect.begin(), vect.end());
vector<string>::iterator it=unique(vect.begin(), vect.end());
copy(vect.begin(), it, ostream_iterator<string>(cout, "\n"));
return 0;
}－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
二
string 函數(shù)列表

| reserve | 預(yù)留空間 |
| swap | 交換函數(shù) |

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
三 string提供了三個(gè)函數(shù)滿(mǎn)足其要求：
const charT* c_str() const
const charT* data() const
size_type copy(charT* buf, size_type n, size_type pos = 0) const
- c_str 直接返回一個(gè)以\0結(jié)尾的字符串。
- data 直接以數(shù)組方式返回string的內(nèi)容，其大小為size()的返回值，結(jié)尾并沒(méi)有\(zhòng)0字符。
- copy 把string的內(nèi)容拷貝到buf空間中。
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
四 basic_string 是基于字符序列容器(Sequence)的模板類(lèi), 包含了說(shuō)有序列容器的常用操作，同時(shí)也包含了字符串的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)操作，如"查找"和"合并" 。
typedef basic_string <char> string;
typedef basic_string<wchar_t> wstring;
五 Extended STL string
ext_string，提供一些常用的功能，例如：
- 定義分隔符。給定分隔符，把string分為幾個(gè)字段。
- 提供替換功能。例如，用winter, 替換字符串中的wende
- 大小寫(xiě)處理。例如，忽略大小寫(xiě)比較，轉(zhuǎn)換等
- 整形轉(zhuǎn)換。例如把"123"字符串轉(zhuǎn)換為123數(shù)字。

/**
* @mainpage Extended STL string
* @author Keenan Tims - ktims@gotroot.ca
* @version 0.2
* @date 2005-04-17
* @section desc 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.
*
*
* @section feat Features
*
* @li Fully based on the STL, ext_string provides a superset of std::string methods
* @li String splitting (tokenizing), on a character, a string, or whitespace
* @li Replacement of substrings or characters with another string or character
* @li String case operations (check, adjust)
* @li Integer conversion
* @li Fully open-source under a BSD-like license for use in any product
*
* @if web
* @section download Downloads
*
* Downloads are provided in tar.gz and zip formats containing this documentation, the header file,
* and the library's changelog. The latest version of ext_string is 0.2, released on April 17,
* 2005.

*
* @endif
*
* @section notes Notes/Limitations
* @li Copying all the substrings into a vector for the substring methods is pretty inefficient,
* both for space and time. It would be more prudent to model an iterator to split the string based
* on the specified parameters, but this is more difficult to implement and more cumbersome to use.
* Performance is not the main goal of this library, usability is, thus the tradeoff is deemed to be
* acceptable.
* @li References are not used too aptly in this class. Some performance tuning could be done to
* minimize unnecessary data copying.
* @li The basic methods of std::string aren't overridden by this class, thus assigning the return
* value of eg. string::insert() to an ext_string instance will make an unnecessary string object
* which is then copy-constructed to an ext_string (I believe, internal workings of inheritance and
* polymorphism in C++ are somewhat beyond my experience). These methods should be wrapped by
* ext_string to return the proper type.
