* The resource bundle file is a text (ASCII or Unicode) file with the format: *
* . locale {
* . tag1 {...}
* . tag2 {...}
* . }
*
* The tags are used to retrieve the data later. You may not have multiple instances of
* the same tag.
* * Four data types are supported. These are solitary strings, comma-delimited lists of * strings, 2-dimensional arrays of strings, and tagged lists of strings. *
* Note that all data is textual. Adjacent strings are merged by the low-level * tokenizer, so that the following effects occur: foo bar, baz // 2 elements, "foo * bar", and "baz" "foo" "bar", baz // 2 elements, "foobar", and "baz" Note that a * single intervening space is added between merged strings, unless they are both double * quoted. This extends to more than two strings in a row. *
* Whitespace is ignored, as in a C source file. *
* Solitary strings have the format: *
* . Tag { Data }
*
* This is indistinguishable from a comma-delimited list with only one element, and in
* fact may be retrieved as such (as an array, or as element 0 or an array).
* * Comma-delimited lists have the format: *
* . Tag { Data, Data, Data }
*
* Parsing is lenient; a final string, after the last element, is allowed.
* * Tagged lists have the format: *
* . Tag { Subtag { Data } Subtag {Data} }
*
* Data is retrieved by specifying the subtag.
* * Two-dimensional arrays have the format: *
* . TwoD {
* . { r1c1, r1c2, ..., r1cm },
* . { r2c1, r2c2, ..., r2cm },
* . ...
* . { rnc1, rnc2, ..., rncm }
* . }
*
* where n is the number of rows, and m is the number of columns. Parsing is lenient (as
* in other data types). A final comma is always allowed after the last element; either
* the last string in a row, or the last row itself. Furthermore, since there is no
* ambiguity, the commas between the rows are entirely optional. (However, if a comma is
* present, there can only be one comma, no more.) It is possible to have zero columns,
* as follows:
*
* . Odd { {} {} {} } // 3 x 0 array
*
* But it is impossible to have zero rows. The smallest array is thus a 1 x 0 array,
* which looks like this:
*
* . Smallest { {} } // 1 x 0 array
*
* The array must be strictly rectangular; that is, each row must have the same number
* of elements.
* * This is an example for using a possible custom resource: *
* . const char *currentLocale;
* . UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
* . UResourceBundle* myResources=ures_open("MyResources", currentLocale, &success );
* .
* . UChar *button1Title, *button2Title;
* . button1Title= ures_get(myResources, "OkKey", &success );
* . button2Title= ures_get(myResources, "CancelKey", &success );
*
