Class RWCString can be found in the Essential Tools Module. It is an industry standard for string manipulation, providing string processing features that are just as efficient as those in C, but far less prone to errors. Its features include memory management, collation, substrings, pattern matching, regular expressions, I/O, tokenizing, and support for multibyte strings.

Class RWCString has member functions to read, compare, store, restore, concatenate, prefix, and append RWCStrings and char*'s. Operators allow access to individual characters, with or without bounds checking.

For a full discussion of the features of this class, please see the Essential Tools Module User's Guide and the SourcePro API Reference Guide.
