be sure to read also @ref overview_unicode.
- @section string_construct Constructors and assignment operators
-
- A string 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.
-
- @li wxString()
- @li operator=()
- @li ~wxString()
- @li assign()
-
-
- @section string_len String length
-
- These functions return the string length and check whether the string
- is empty or they empty it.
-
- @li length()
- @li size()
- @li Len()
- @li IsEmpty()
- @li operator!()
- @li Empty()
- @li Clear()
-
-
- @section string_access Character access
-
- Many functions below take a character index in the string. As with C
- strings and arrays, the indices start from 0, so the first character of a
- string is string[0]. An attempt to access a character beyond the end of the
- string (which may even be 0 if the string is empty) will provoke an assert
- failure in @ref overview_debugging "debug builds", 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, you are advised
- to use wc_str() for the sake of clarity.
-
- @li GetChar()
- @li GetWritableChar()
- @li SetChar()
- @li Last()
- @li operator[]()
- @li wc_str()
- @li utf8_str()
- @li c_str()
- @li wx_str()
- @li mb_str()
- @li fn_str()
-
-
- @section string_concat 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.
-
- @li insert()
- @li append()
- @li operator<<()
- @li operator+=()
- @li operator+()
- @li Append()
- @li Prepend()
-
-
- @section string_comp Comparison
-
- The default comparison function Cmp() is case-sensitive and so is the default
- version of IsSameAs(). For case insensitive comparisons you should use CmpNoCase()
- or give a second parameter to IsSameAs(). This last function is maybe 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.
-
- Matches() is a poor man's regular expression matcher: it only understands
- '*' and '?' metacharacters in the sense of DOS command line interpreter.
-
- StartsWith() is helpful when parsing a line of text which should start
- with some predefined prefix and is more efficient than doing direct string
- comparison as you would also have to precalculate the length of the prefix.
-
- @li compare()
- @li Cmp()
- @li CmpNoCase()
- @li IsSameAs()
- @li Matches()
- @li StartsWith()
- @li EndsWith()
-
-
- @section string_substring Substring extraction
-
- These functions allow you to extract a substring from the string. The
- original string is not modified and the function returns the extracted
- substring.
-
- @li at()
- @li substr()
- @li Mid()
- @li operator()()
- @li Left()
- @li Right()
- @li BeforeFirst()
- @li BeforeLast()
- @li AfterFirst()
- @li AfterLast()
- @li StartsWith()
- @li EndsWith()
-
-
- @section string_case Case conversion
-
- The MakeXXX() variants modify the string in place, while the other functions
- return a new string which contains the original text converted to the upper or
- lower case and leave the original string unchanged.
-
- @li MakeUpper()
- @li Upper()
- @li MakeLower()
- @li Lower()
- @li MakeCapitalized()
- @li Capitalize()
-
-
- @section string_search Searching and replacing
-
- These functions replace the standard @e strchr() and @e strstr()
- functions.
-
- @li find()
- @li rfind()
- @li replace()
- @li Find()
- @li Replace()
-
-
- @section string_conv Conversion to numbers
-
- The string provides functions for conversion to signed and unsigned integer and
- floating point numbers. All functions take a pointer to the variable to
- put the numeric value in and return @true if the @b entire string could be
- converted to a number.
-
- @li ToLong()
- @li ToLongLong()
- @li ToULong()
- @li ToULongLong()
- @li ToDouble()
-
-
- @section string_fmt Writing values into the string
-
- Both formatted versions (Printf/() and stream-like insertion operators
- exist (for basic types only). Additionally, the Format() function allows
- you to simply append a formatted value to a string:
-
- @li Format()
- @li FormatV()
- @li Printf()
- @li PrintfV()
- @li operator>>()
-
-
- @section string_mem Memory management
-
- The following are "advanced" functions and they will be needed rarely.
- Alloc() and Shrink() are only interesting for optimization purposes.
- wxStringBuffer and wxStringBufferLength classes may be very useful
- when working with some external API which requires the caller to provide
- a writable buffer.
-
- @li reserve()
- @li resize()
- @li Alloc()
- @li Shrink()
- @li wxStringBuffer
- @li wxStringBufferLength
-
-
- @section string_misc Miscellaneous
-
- Miscellaneous other string functions.
-
- @li Trim()
- @li Truncate()
- @li Pad()
-
-
- @section string_compat wxWidgets 1.xx compatibility functions
-
- The following functions are deprecated.
- Please consider using @c std::string compatible variants.
-
- Contains(), First(), Freq(), IsAscii(), IsNull(), IsNumber(), IsWord(),
- Last(), Length(), LowerCase(), Remove(), Strip(), SubString(), UpperCase()
+ @section string_index Index of the member groups
