## Class template split_iterator

boost::algorithm::split_iterator — split_iterator

## Synopsis

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

      // public member functions
      bool eof() const;

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

## Description

Split iterator encapsulates a Finder and allows for incremental searching in a string. Unlike the find iterator, split iterator iterates through gaps between matches.

Find iterator is a readable forward traversal iterator.

Dereferencing the iterator yields an iterator_range delimiting the current match.

### `split_iterator` construct/copy/destruct

1.     split_iterator();

   Construct null iterator. All null iterators are equal.

   Postconditions: eof()==true

2.     split_iterator(const split_iterator & Other);

   Construct a copy of the split_iterator

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

   Construct new split_iterator for a given finder and a range.

4.     template<typename FinderT, typename CollectionT>
         split_iterator(CollectionT & Col, FinderT Finder);

   Construct new split_iterator for a given finder and a collection.

### `split_iterator` public member functions

1.     bool eof() const;

   Check the eof condition. Eof condition means that there is nothing more to be searched i.e. find_iterator is after the last match.

### `split_iterator` private member functions

1.     const match_type & dereference() const;

2.     void increment() ;

3.     bool equal(const split_iterator & Other) const;
