This directory contains sample code using ICU4C routines. Below is a

coll - shows how collation compares strings

strsrch - demonstrates how to search for patterns in Unicode text using the usearch interface.

translit - demonstrates the use of ICU transliteration

ugrep - demonstrates ICU Regular Expressions.

==

* Where can I find more sample code?

- The "uconv" utility is a full-featured command line application.

It is normally built with ICU, and is located in icu/source/extra/uconv

- The "icu-demos" contains other applications and libraries not

included with ICU. You can check it out from https://github.com/unicode-org/icu-demos

using github clone. See the README file for additional information.

==

* How do I build the samples?

- See the Readme in each subdirectory

To build all samples at once:

Windows MSVC:

- build ICU

- open 'all' project file in 'all' subdirectory

- build project

- sample executables will be located in /x86/Debug folders of each sample subdirectory

Unix: - build and install (make install) ICU

- be sure 'icu-config' is accessible from the PATH

- type 'make all-samples' from this directory

(other targets: clean-samples, check-samples)

Note: 'make all-samples' won't work correctly in out of source builds.
