String

TracNav(TracNav/TOC_Development)?

String defines several useful functions for string manipulation. The following list gives a short overview:

• strip(string* pointer): Removes all whitespaces from a string. See getStripped for examples.
• getStripped(string): Removes all whitespaces and returns the modified string.
  • Example: getStripped(" test abc\tabc test\nThis is a newline! ") = "testabcabctestThisisanewline!"

• removeTrailingWhitespaces(string): Removes trailing whitespace and returns the modified string.
  • Example: removeTrailingWhitespaces(" test abc ") = "test abc"

• getNextQuote(string, start): Returns the position of the next quote in the string, starting with start.
  • Examples:
    • getNextQuote("123\"567\"9", 0) = 4
    • getNextQuote("123\"567\"9", 4) = 4
    • getNextQuote("123\"567\"9", 6) = 8
    • getNextQuote("123\"567\"9", 9) = std::npos
• isBetweenQuotes(string, position): Returns true if position is between two quotes.
  • Examples:
    • isBetweenQuotes("123\"567\"9", 1) = false
    • isBetweenQuotes("123\"567\"9", 4) = false
    • isBetweenQuotes("123\"567\"9", 5) = true
    • isBetweenQuotes("123\"567\"9", 8) = false
    • isBetweenQuotes("123\"567\"9", 9) = false

• hasStringBetweenQuotes(string): Returns true if the string contains something like '…"between quotes"…'.
  • Examples:
    • hasStringBetweenQuotes("test") = false
    • hasStringBetweenQuotes("test\"abc") = false
    • hasStringBetweenQuotes("test\"abc\"") = true
• getStringBetweenQuotes(string): If the string contains something like '…"between quotes"…' then 'between quotes' gets returned (without quotes).
  • Examples:
    • hasStringBetweenQuotes("test") = ""
    • hasStringBetweenQuotes("test\"abc") = ""
    • hasStringBetweenQuotes("test\"abc\"") = "abc"

• stripEnclosingQuotes(string): Removes enclosing quotes if available (including whitespaces at the outside of the quotes).
  • Examples:
    • stripEnclosingQuotes(" \"hello!\" ") = "hello!"
    • stripEnclosingQuotes(" \"hello! ") = " \"hello! "
• stripEnclosingBraces(string): Removes enclosing {braces} (braces must be exactly on the beginning and the end of the string).
  • Examples:
    • stripEnclosingBraces("{test}") = "test"
    • stripEnclosingBraces(" {test}") = " {test}"
    • stripEnclosingBraces("{ test }") = " test "

• isEmpty(string):
• isComment(string):
• isNumeric(string):

• addSlashes(string):
• removeSlashes(string):

• lowercase(string* pointer):
• getLowercase(string):

• uppercase(string* pointer):
• getUppercase(string):

• nocaseCmp(string1, string2):
• nocaseCmp(string1, string2, length):

• hasComment(string):
• getComment(string):
• getCommentPosition(string):
• getNextCommentPosition(string, start):
