@class wxStringTokenizer
@wxheader{tokenzr.h}
-
+
wxStringTokenizer helps you to break a string up into a number of tokens. It
replaces the standard C function @c strtok() and also extends it in a
number of ways.
-
+
To use this class, you should create a wxStringTokenizer object, give it the
string to tokenize and also the delimiters which separate tokens in the string
(by default, white space characters will be used).
-
+
Then wxStringTokenizer::GetNextToken may be called
- repeatedly until it wxStringTokenizer::HasMoreTokens
+ repeatedly until it wxStringTokenizer::HasMoreTokens
returns @false.
-
+
For example:
-
+
@code
wxStringTokenizer tkz(wxT("first:second:third:fourth"), wxT(":"));
while ( tkz.HasMoreTokens() )
{
wxString token = tkz.GetNextToken();
-
+
// process token here
}
@endcode
-
+
By default, wxStringTokenizer will behave in the same way as @c strtok() if
the delimiters string only contains white space characters but, unlike the
standard function, it will return empty tokens if this is not the case. This
is helpful for parsing strictly formatted data where the number of fields is
fixed but some of them may be empty (i.e. @c TAB or comma delimited text
files).
-

parameter @c mode which may be one of the following:
-
-
-
+
+
+
@c wxTOKEN_DEFAULT
-
-
+
+
Default behaviour (as described above):
same as @c wxTOKEN_STRTOK if the delimiter string contains only
whitespaces, same as @c wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY otherwise
-
-
+
+
@c wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY
-
-
+
+
In this mode, the empty tokens in the
middle of the string will be returned, i.e. @c "a::b:" will be tokenized in
- three tokens 'a', '' and 'b'. Notice that all trailing delimiters are ignored
+ three tokens 'a', " and 'b'. Notice that all trailing delimiters are ignored
in this mode, not just the last one, i.e. a string @c "a::b::" would
still result in the same set of tokens.
-
-
+
+
@c wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY_ALL
-
-
+
+
In this mode, empty trailing tokens
(including the one after the last delimiter character) will be returned as
well. The string @c "a::b:" will be tokenized in four tokens: the already
- mentioned ones and another empty one as the last one and a string
+ mentioned ones and another empty one as the last one and a string
@c "a::b::" will have five tokens.
-
-
+
+
@c wxTOKEN_RET_DELIMS
-
-
+
+
In this mode, the delimiter character
after the end of the current token (there may be none if this is the last
- token) is returned appended to the token. Otherwise, it is the same mode as
+ token) is returned appended to the token. Otherwise, it is the same mode as
@c wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY. Notice that there is no mode like this one but
- behaving like @c wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY_ALL instead of
- @c wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY, use @c wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY_ALL and
+ behaving like @c wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY_ALL instead of
+ @c wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY, use @c wxTOKEN_RET_EMPTY_ALL and
wxStringTokenizer::GetLastDelimiter to emulate it.
-
-
+
+
@c wxTOKEN_STRTOK
-
-
+
+
In this mode the class behaves exactly like
the standard @c strtok() function: the empty tokens are never returned.
