ctype::scan_not

Locates the first character in a range that does not match a specified mask.

const CharType *scan_not(
    mask maskVal, 
    const CharType* first, 
    const CharType* last,
) const;

Parameters

  • maskVal
    The mask value not to be matched by a character.

  • first
    A pointer to the first character in the range to be scanned.

  • last
    A pointer to the character immediately following the last character in the range to be scanned.

Return Value

A pointer to the first character in a range that does not match a specified mask. If no such value exists, the function returns last.

   const char* i = use_facet<ctype<char> > ( loc1 ).scan_not
      ( ctype_base::alpha, string, string + strlen(string) );
   cout << "First nonalpha character is \"" << *i << "\" at position: "
