\section{\class{wxString}}\label{wxstring}
|
|
|
|
wxString is a class representing a character string. Please see the
|
|
\helpref{wxString overview}{wxstringoverview} for more information about it. As explained
|
|
there, wxString implements about 90\% of methods of the std::string class (iterators
|
|
are not supported, nor all methods which use them).
|
|
These standard functions are not documented in this manual so please see the STL documentation.
|
|
The behaviour of all these functions is identical to the behaviour described
|
|
there.

\membersection{Constructors and assignment operators}
|
|
|
|
A strign 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.

|
|
|

|
|
\helpref{operator $=$}{wxstringoperatorassign}\\
|
|
\helpref{\destruct{wxString}}{wxstringdestruct}
|
|
|
|
\membersection{String length}
|
|
|
|
These functions return the string length and check whether the string is empty
|
|
or empty it.
|
|
|
|
\helpref{Len}{wxstringlen}\\
|
|
\helpref{IsEmpty}{wxstringisempty}\\
|
|
\helpref{operator!}{wxstringoperatornot}\\
|
|
\helpref{Empty}{wxstringempty}\\
|
|
\helpref{Clear}{wxstringclear}
|
|
|
|
\membersection{Character access}
|
|
|
|
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 provocate an assert
|
|
failure in \helpref{debug build}{debuggingoverview}, 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 \helpref{c\_str()}{wxstringcstr} method for the sake of clarity. Also
|
|
see \helpref{overview}{wxstringadvices} for the cases where it is necessary to
|
|
use it.

|
|
|
|
\membersection{Concatenation}
|
|
|
|
Anything may be concatenated (appended to) with a string. However, you can't
|
|
append something to a C string (including literal constants), so to do this it
|
|
should be converted to a wxString first.
|
|
|
|
\helpref{operator \cinsert}{wxstringoperatorout}\\

|
|
\helpref{operator $+$}{wxstringoperatorplus}\\
|
|
\helpref{Append}{wxstringappend}\\
|
|
\helpref{Prepend}{wxstringprepend}
|
|
|
|
\membersection{Comparison}
|
|
|
|
The default comparison function \helpref{Cmp}{wxstringcmp} is case-sensitive and
|
|
so is the default version of \helpref{IsSameAs}{wxstringissameas}. For case
|
|
insensitive comparisons you should use \helpref{CmpNoCase}{wxstringcmpnocase} 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.
|
|
|
|
\helpref{Matches}{wxstringmatches} is a poor man's regular expression matcher:
|
|
it only understands '*' and '?' metacharacters in the sense of DOS command line
|
|
interpreter.
|
|
|
|
\helpref{Cmp}{wxstringcmp}\\
|
|
\helpref{CmpNoCase}{wxstringcmpnocase}\\

|
|
\helpref{Matches}{wxstringmatches}
|
|
|
|
\membersection{Substring extraction}
|
|
|
|
These functions allow to extract substring from this string. All of them don't
|
|
modify the original string and return a new string containing the extracted
|
|
substring.
|
|
|
|
\helpref{Mid}{wxstringmid}\\
|
|
\helpref{operator()}{wxstringoperatorparenth}\\
|
|
\helpref{Left}{wxstringleft}\\
|
|
\helpref{Right}{wxstringright}\\
|
|
\helpref{BeforeFirst}{wxstringbeforefirst}\\
|
|
\helpref{BeforeLast}{wxstringbeforelast}\\
|
|
\helpref{AfterFirst}{wxstringafterfirst}\\
|
|
\helpref{AfterLast}{wxstringafterlast}
|
|
|
|
\membersection{Case conversion}
|
|
|
|
The MakeXXX() variants modify the string in place, while the other functions
|
|
return a new string which containts the original text converted to the upper or
|
|
lower case and leave the original string unchanged.
|
|
|
|
\helpref{MakeUpper}{wxstringmakeupper}\\
|
|
\helpref{Upper}{wxstringupper}\\
|
|
\helpref{MakeLower}{wxstringmakelower}\\
|
|
\helpref{Lower}{wxstringlower}
|
|
|
|
\membersection{Searching and replacing}
|
|
|
|
These functions replace the standard {\it strchr()} and {\it strstr()}
|
|
functions.
|
|
|
|
\helpref{Find}{wxstringfind}\\
|
|
\helpref{Replace}{wxstringreplace}
|
|
|
|
\membersection{Conversion to numbers}
|
|
|
|
The string provides functions for conversion to signed and unsigned integer and
|
|
floating point numbers. All three functions take a pointer to the variable to
|
|
put the numeric value in and return TRUE if the {\bf entire} string could be
|
|
converted to a number.
|
|
|
|
\helpref{ToLong}{wxstringtolong}\\
|
|
\helpref{ToULong}{wxstringtoulong}\\
|
|
\helpref{ToDouble}{wxstringtodouble}
|
|
|
|
\membersection{Writing values into the string}
|
|
|
|
Both formatted versions (\helpref{Printf}{wxstringprintf}) and stream-like
|
|
insertion operators exist (for basic types only). Additionally, the
|
|
\helpref{Format}{wxstringformat} function allows to use simply append
|
|
formatted value to a string:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
// the following 2 snippets are equivalent
|
|
|
|
wxString s = "...";
|
|
s += wxString::Format("%d", n);
|
|
|
|
wxString s;
|
|
s.Printf("...%d", n);
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\helpref{Format}{wxstringformat}\\
|
|
\helpref{FormatV}{wxstringformatv}\\
|
|
\helpref{Printf}{wxstringprintf}\\
|
|
\helpref{PrintfV}{wxstringprintfv}\\
|
|
\helpref{operator \cinsert}{wxstringoperatorout}
|
|
|
|
\membersection{Memory management}
|
|
|
|
These are "advanced" functions and they will be needed quite rarily.
|
|
\helpref{Alloc}{wxstringalloc} and \helpref{Shrink}{wxstringshrink} are only
|
|
interesting for optimization purposes.
|
|
\helpref{GetWriteBuf}{wxstringgetwritebuf} may be very useful when working with
|
|
some external API which requires the caller to provide a writable buffer, but
|
|
extreme care should be taken when using it: before performing any other
|
|
operation on the string \helpref{UngetWriteBuf}{wxstringungetwritebuf} {\bf
|
|
must} be called!
|
|
|
|
\helpref{Alloc}{wxstringalloc}\\
|
|
\helpref{Shrink}{wxstringshrink}\\
|
|
\helpref{GetWriteBuf}{wxstringgetwritebuf}\\
|
|
\helpref{UngetWriteBuf}{wxstringungetwritebuf}
|
|
|
|
\membersection{Miscellaneous}
|
|
|
|
Other string functions.
|
|
|
|
\helpref{Trim}{wxstringtrim}\\
|
|
\helpref{Pad}{wxstringpad}\\
|
|
\helpref{Truncate}{wxstringtruncate}

|
\membersection{wxWindows 1.xx compatiblity functions}
|
|
|
|
These functiosn are deprecated, please consider using new wxWindows 2.0
|
|
functions instead of them (or, even better, std::string compatible variants).

|
|
|
Copy constructor.
|
|
|
|
\func{}{wxString}{\param{char}{ ch}, \param{size\_t}{ n = 1}}
|
|
|

Constructs a string of {\it n} copies of character {\it ch}.
|
|
|
|
\func{}{wxString}{\param{const char*}{ psz}, \param{size\_t}{ nLength = wxSTRING\_MAXLEN}}
|
|
|
|
Takes first {\it nLength} characters from the C string {\it psz}.
|
|
The default value of wxSTRING\_MAXLEN means take all the string.
|
|
|
|
\func{}{wxString}{\param{const unsigned char*}{ psz}, \param{size\_t}{ nLength = wxSTRING\_MAXLEN}}
|
|
|
|
For compilers using unsigned char: takes first {\it nLength} characters from the C string {\it psz}.
|
|
The default value of wxSTRING\_MAXLEN means take all the string.
|
|
|
|
\func{}{wxString}{\param{const wchar\_t*}{ psz}}
|
|
|
|
Constructs a string from the wide (UNICODE) string.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxString::\destruct{wxString}}\label{wxstringdestruct}
|
|
|
|
\func{}{\destruct{wxString}}{\void}
|
|
|
|
String destructor. Note that this is not virtual, so wxString must not be inherited from.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxString::Alloc}\label{wxstringalloc}
|
|
|
|
\func{void}{Alloc}{\param{size\_t}{ nLen}}
|
|
|
|
Preallocate enough space for wxString to store {\it nLen} characters. This function
|
|
may be used to increase speed when the string is constructed by repeated
|
|
concatenation as in
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
// delete all vowels from the string
|
|
wxString DeleteAllVowels(const wxString& original)
|
|
{
|
|
wxString result;
|
|
|
|
size_t len = original.length();
|
|
|
|
result.Alloc(len);
|
|
|
|
for ( size_t n = 0; n < len; n++ )
|
|
{
|
|
if ( strchr("aeuio", tolower(original[n])) == NULL )
|
|
result += original[n];
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return result;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
because it will avoid the need of reallocating string memory many times (in case
|
|
of long strings). Note that it does not set the maximal length of a string - it
|
|
will still expand if more than {\it nLen} characters are stored in it. Also, it
|
|
does not truncate the existing string (use
|
|
\helpref{Truncate()}{wxstringtruncate} for this) even if its current length is
|
|
greater than {\it nLen}
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxString::Append}\label{wxstringappend}
|
|
|
|
\func{wxString\&}{Append}{\param{const char*}{ psz}}
|
|
|
|
Concatenates {\it psz} to this string, returning a reference to it.
|
|
|
|
\func{wxString\&}{Append}{\param{char}{ ch}, \param{int}{ count = 1}}
|
|
|
|
Concatenates character {\it ch} to this string, {\it count} times, returning a reference
|
|
to it.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxString::AfterFirst}\label{wxstringafterfirst}
|
|
|
|
\constfunc{wxString}{AfterFirst}{\param{char}{ ch}}

\membersection{wxString::AfterLast}\label{wxstringafterlast}
|
|
|
|
\constfunc{wxString}{AfterLast}{\param{char}{ ch}}

|
|
|
\membersection{wxString::BeforeFirst}\label{wxstringbeforefirst}
|
|
|
|
\constfunc{wxString}{BeforeFirst}{\param{char}{ ch}}

Gets all characters before the first occurence of {\it ch}.
|
|
Returns the whole string if {\it ch} is not found.
|
