TQDataStream & s, TQString & str )</li> -</ul> -<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2> - - - -<p> The TQString class provides an abstraction of Unicode text -and the classic C '\0'-terminated char array. -<p> - - - -<p> TQString uses <a href="shclass.html">implicit sharing</a>, which -makes it very efficient and easy to use. -<p> In all of the TQString methods that take <tt>const char *</tt> -parameters, the <tt>const char *</tt> is interpreted as a classic -C-style '\0'-terminated ASCII string. It is legal for the <tt>const char *</tt> parameter to be 0. If the <tt>const char *</tt> is not -'\0'-terminated, the results are undefined. Functions that copy -classic C strings into a TQString will not copy the terminating -'\0' character. The <a href="qchar.html">TQChar</a> array of the TQString (as returned by -<a href="#unicode">unicode</a>()) is generally not terminated by a '\0'. If you need to -pass a TQString to a function that requires a C '\0'-terminated -string use <a href="#latin1">latin1</a>(). -<p> <!-- index TQString::null --><a name="TQString-null"></a>A TQString that has not been assigned to anything is <em>null</em>, i.e. -both the length and data pointer is 0. A TQString that references -the empty string ("", a single '\0' char) is <em>empty</em>. Both null -and empty TQStrings are legal parameters to the methods. Assigning -<tt>(const char *) 0</tt> to TQString gives a null TQString. For -convenience, <a href="qstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a> is a null TQString. When sorting, -empty strings come first, followed by non-empty strings, followed -by null strings. We recommend using <tt>if ( !str.isNull() )</tt> to -check for a non-null string rather than <tt>if ( !str )</tt>; see <a href="#operator!">operator!</a>() for an explanation. -<p> Note that if you find that you are mixing usage of <a href="qcstring.html">TQCString</a>, -TQString, and <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a>, this causes lots of unnecessary -copying and might indicate that the true nature of the data you -are dealing with is uncertain. If the data is '\0'-terminated 8-bit -data, use <a href="qcstring.html">TQCString</a>; if it is unterminated (i.e. contains '\0's) -8-bit data, use <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a>; if it is text, use TQString. -<p> Lists of strings are handled by the <a href="qstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> class. You can -split a string into a list of strings using <a href="qstringlist.html#split">TQStringList::split</a>(), -and join a list of strings into a single string with an optional -separator using <a href="qstringlist.html#join">TQStringList::join</a>(). You can obtain a list of -strings from a string list that contain a particular substring or -that match a particular <a href="qregexp.html">regex</a> using -<a href="qstringlist.html#grep">TQStringList::grep</a>(). -<p> <b>Note for C programmers</b> -<p> Due to C++'s type system and the fact that TQString is <a href="shclass.html#implicitly-shared">implicitly shared</a>, TQStrings can be treated like ints or other simple base -types. For example: -<p> <pre> - TQString boolToString( bool b ) - { - TQString result; - if ( b ) - result = "True"; - else - result = "False"; - return result; - } - </pre> - -<p> The variable, result, is an auto variable allocated on the stack. -When return is called, because we're returning by value, The copy -constructor is called and a copy of the string is returned. (No -actual copying takes place thanks to the <a href="shclass.html#implicit-sharing">implicit sharing</a>, see -below.) -<p> Throughout TQt's source code you will encounter TQString usages like -this: -<pre> - TQString func( const TQString& input ) - { - TQString output = input; - // process output - return output; - } - </pre> - -<p> The 'copying' of input to output is almost as fast as copying a -pointer because behind the scenes copying is achieved by -incrementing a reference count. TQString (like all TQt's implicitly -shared classes) operates on a copy-on-write basis, only copying if -an instance is actually changed. -<p> If you wish to create a <a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a> of a TQString without losing any -Unicode information then you should use <a href="qdeepcopy.html">TQDeepCopy</a>. -<p> <p>See also <a href="qchar.html">TQChar</a>, <a href="qcstring.html">TQCString</a>, <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a>, <a href="qconststring.html">TQConstString</a>, <a href="shared.html">Implicitly and Explicitly Shared Classes</a>, <a href="text.html">Text Related Classes</a>, and <a href="tools.html">Non-GUI Classes</a>. - -<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2> -<h3 class=fn><a name="SectionFlags-enum"></a>TQString::SectionFlags</h3> - -<ul> -<li><tt>TQString::SectionDefault</tt> - Empty fields are counted, leading and -trailing separators are not included, and the separator is -compared case sensitively. -<li><tt>TQString::SectionSkipEmpty</tt> - Treat empty fields as if they don't exist, -i.e. they are not considered as far as <em>start</em> and <em>end</em> are -concerned. -<li><tt>TQString::SectionIncludeLeadingSep</tt> - Include the leading separator (if -any) in the result string. -<li><tt>TQString::SectionIncludeTrailingSep</tt> - Include the trailing separator -(if any) in the result string. -<li><tt>TQString::SectionCaseInsensitiveSeps</tt> - Compare the separator -case-insensitively. -</ul><p> Any of the last four values can be OR-ed together to form a flag. -<p> <p>See also <a href="#section">section</a>(). - -<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> -<h3 class=fn><a name="TQString"></a>TQString::TQString () -</h3> - -<p> Constructs a null string, i.e. both the length and data pointer -are 0. -<p> <p>See also <a href="#isNull">isNull</a>(). - -<h3 class=fn><a name="TQString-2"></a>TQString::TQString ( <a href="qchar.html">TQChar</a> ch ) -</h3> -Constructs a string of length one, containing the character <em>ch</em>. - -<h3 class=fn><a name="TQString-3"></a>TQString::TQString ( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> & s ) -</h3> -Constructs an <a href="shclass.html#implicitly-shared">implicitly shared</a> copy of <em>s</em>.
