## NAME

DwBoyerMoore -- Class for executing Boyer-Moore string search algorithm

## SYNOPSIS

    class DW_EXPORT DwBoyerMoore {

    public:

        DwBoyerMoore(const char* aCstr);
        DwBoyerMoore(const DwString& aStr);
        virtual ~DwBoyerMoore();
        void Assign(const char* aCstr);
        void Assign(const DwString& aStr);
        size_t FindIn(const DwString& aStr, size_t aPos);
    };

## DESCRIPTION

`DwBoyerMoore` implements the Boyer-Moore algorithm for searching for a string. The Boyer-Moore algorithm is fast, but requires a bit of start-up overhead compared to a brute force algorithm.

## Public Member Functions

DwBoyerMoore(const char* aCstr)
DwBoyerMoore(const DwString& aStr)

Constructs a `DwBoyerMoore` object for searching for a particular string.

void Assign(const char* aCstr)
void Assign(const DwString& aStr)

Sets the string to search for.

size_t FindIn(const DwString& aStr, size_t aPos)

Searches for the search string in `aStr` starting at position `aPos`. If found, the function returns the first position in `aStr` where the search string was found. If not found, the function returns `DwString::npos`.
