+ A string may be constructed either from a C string, (some number of copies of)
+ a single character or a wide (UNICODE) string. For all constructors (except the
+ default which creates an empty string) there is also a corresponding assignment
+ operator.
+
+ @li wxString()

+
+
+ Many functions in this section take a character index in the string. As with C
+ strings and/or arrays, the indices start from 0, so the first character of a
+ string is string[0]. Attempt to access a character beyond the end of the
+ string (which may be even 0 if the string is empty) will provoke an assert
+ failure in @ref overview_debugging "debug build", but no checks are
+ done in release builds.
+ This section also contains both implicit and explicit conversions to C style
+ strings. Although implicit conversion is quite convenient, it is advised to use
+ explicit c_str() method for the sake of clarity.

+ The default comparison function Cmp() is case-sensitive and
+ so is the default version of IsSameAs(). For case
+ insensitive comparisons you should use CmpNoCase() or
+ give a second parameter to IsSameAs. This last function is may be more
+ convenient if only equality of the strings matters because it returns a boolean
+ @true value if the strings are the same and not 0 (which is usually @false
+ in C)as Cmp() does.
+ Matches() is a poor man's regular expression matcher: it only understands
+ '*' and '?' metacharacters in the sense of DOS command line interpreter.
+ StartsWith() is helpful when parsing a line of text which should start
+ with some predefined prefix and is more efficient than doing direct string
+ comparison as you would also have to precalculate the length of the prefix then.

+ The string provides functions for conversion to signed and unsigned integer and

+
+ These are "advanced" functions and they will be needed quite rarely.
