5strsrch: a sample program which finds the occurrences of a pattern string in a source string, using user-defined collation rules.
6
7This sample demonstrates
8 Creating a user-defined string search mechanism.
9 Finding all occurrences of a pattern string in a given source string.
10
11Files:
12 strsrch.c Main source file
13 strsrch.sln Windows MSVC workspace. Double-click this to get started.
14 strsrch.vcproj Windows MSVC project file
15
16To Build strsrch on Windows
17 1. Install and build ICU
18 2. In MSVC, open the workspace file icu\samples\strsrch\strsrch.sln
19 3. Choose a Debug or Release build.
20 4. Build.
21
22To Run on Windows
23 1. Start a command shell window
24 2. Add ICU's bin directory to the path, e.g.
25 set PATH=c:\icu\bin;%PATH%
26 (Use the path to where ever ICU is on your system.)
27 3. cd into the strsrch directory, e.g.
28 cd c:\icu\source\samples\strsrch\debug
29 4. Run it
30 strsrch [options*] -source source_string -pattern pattern_string
31
32To Build on Unixes
33 1. Build ICU. strsrch is built automatically by default unless samples are turned off.
34 Specify an ICU install directory when running configure,
35 using the --prefix option. The steps to build ICU will look something
36 like this:
37 cd <icu directory>/source
38 runConfigureICU <platform-name> --prefix <icu install directory> [other options]
39 gmake all
40
41 2. Install ICU,
42 gmake install
43
44 To Run on Unixes
45 cd <icu directory>/source/samples/strsrch
46
47 gmake check
48 -or-
49
50 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<icu install directory>/lib:.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
51 cal

53
54 Note: The name of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable is different on some systems.
55 If in doubt, run the sample using "gmake check", and note the name of
56 the variable that is used there. LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the correct name
57 for Linux and Solaris.
