template<typename RangeT> 
  iterator_range< typename range_iterator< RangeT >::type >

This function provides the strong exception-safety guarantee

Parameters:

Input

An input string

N

Length of the tail. For N>=0, at most N characters are extracted. For N<0, size(Input)-|N| characters are extracted.

Returns:

An iterator_range delimiting the match. Returned iterator is either RangeT::iterator or RangeT::const_iterator, depending on the constness of the input parameter.
