When parsing a text file that contains quoted strings – such as a VB source file – you might want to quickly locate and extract all the quoted strings. Thanks
Regular expressions offer an extremely powerful way to search and replace text inside a string using sophisticated search criteria, far behind the capabilities of VB’s InStr and Replace functions. For
A Visual Basic function that counts the number of words in a sentence or text file can become quickly very complex, and usually doesn’t execute fast enough for most purposes.
The following routine extracts all the words from a source string and returns a collection. Optionally, the result contains only unique words.This code is remarkably simpler than an equivalent “pure”

The std::auto_ptr class template handles only a pointer to a single object. This is because it uses scalar delete, never delete[], to destroy the owned object. Therefore, binding auto_ptr to
The Standard Library defines several template adaptors for function pointers. The std::pointer_to_unary_function class template encapsulates a pointer to a single argument function. std::pointer_to_unary_function overloads the () operators so that you
