The Boyer-Moore Fast String Searching Algorithm
This algorithm, which Bob Boyer and I invented in about 1975, is the basis of the fastest known ways to find one string of characters in another. How might you look for the following pattern in the text below?Introduction You've undoubtedly seen all these various string types like TCHAR , std::string , BSTR , and so on.

Well stare no more, this guide will outline the purpose of each string type, show some simple usages, and describe how to convert to other string types when necessary.
