      <P>The algorithm regex_search will search a range denoted by a pair of 
         bidirectional-iterators for a given regular expression. The algorithm uses 
         various heuristics to reduce the search time by only checking for a match if a 
         match could conceivably start at that position. The algorithm is defined as 
         follows:

         [first,last) that matches the regular expression <I>e</I>, parameter <I>flags</I>
         is used to control how the expression is matched against the character 
         sequence. Returns true if such a sequence exists, false otherwise.</P>
      <P><STRONG>Throws:</STRONG> <CODE>std::runtime_error</CODE> if the complexity of 
         matching the expression against an N character string begins to exceed O(N<SUP>2</SUP>), 
         or if the program runs out of stack space while matching the expression (if 
         Boost.regex is <A href="configuration.html">configured</A> in recursive mode), 
         or if the matcher exhausts it's permitted memory allocation (if Boost.regex is <A href="configuration.html">
            configured</A> in non-recursive mode).</P>

         takes the contents of a file in the form of a string, and searches for all the

         that std::string is implemented, for example it could easily be modified to 
         work with the SGI rope class, which uses a non-contiguous storage strategy.</P>
