- @class wxStringBuffer
-
- This tiny class allows you to conveniently access the wxString
- internal buffer as a writable pointer without any risk of forgetting to restore
- the string to the usable state later.
-
- For example, assuming you have a low-level OS function called
- @c GetMeaningOfLifeAsString(char *) returning the value in the provided
- buffer (which must be writable, of course) you might call it like this:
-
- @code
- wxString theAnswer;
- GetMeaningOfLifeAsString(wxStringBuffer(theAnswer, 1024));
- if ( theAnswer != "42" )
- {
- wxLogError("Something is very wrong!");
- }
- @endcode
-
- Note that the exact usage of this depends on whether or not wxUSE_STL is
- enabled. If wxUSE_STL is enabled, wxStringBuffer creates a separate empty
- character buffer, and if wxUSE_STL is disabled, it uses GetWriteBuf() from
- wxString, keeping the same buffer wxString uses intact. In other words,
- relying on wxStringBuffer containing the old wxString data is not a good
- idea if you want to build your program both with and without wxUSE_STL.

@class wxString
- wxString is a class representing a Unicode character string.
- wxString uses @c std::string internally to store its content
- unless this is not supported by the compiler or disabled
- specifically when building wxWidgets. Therefore wxString
- inherits many features from @c std::string. Most
- implementations of @c std::string are thread-safe and don't
- use reference counting. By default, wxString uses @c std::string
- internally even if wxUSE_STL is not defined.
-
- Since wxWidgets 3.0 wxString internally uses UCS-2 (basically 2-byte per
- character wchar_t and nearly the same as UTF-16) under Windows and
- UTF-8 under Unix, Linux and OS X to store its content.
- Much work has been done to make existing code using ANSI string literals
- work as before. If you need to have a wxString that uses wchar_t on Unix
- and Linux, too, you can specify this on the command line with the
- @c configure @c --disable-utf8 switch.
-
- If you need a Unicode string class with O(1) access on all platforms
- you should consider using wxUString.
-
- Since iterating over a wxString by index can become inefficient in UTF-8
- mode and iterators should be used instead of index based access:
-
- @code
- wxString s = "hello";
- wxString::const_iterator i;
- for (i = s.begin(); i != s.end(); ++i)
- {
- wxUniChar uni_ch = *i;
- // do something with it
- }
- @endcode
-
- Please see the
- @ref overview_string "wxString overview" and the
- @ref overview_unicode "Unicode overview" for more information
- about it.
+ The wxString class has been completely rewritten for wxWidgets 3.0
+ and this change was actually the main reason for the calling that
+ version wxWidgets 3.0.
- wxString uses the current locale encoding to convert any C string
- literal to Unicode. The same is done for converting to and from
- @c std::string and for the return value of c_str(). For this
- conversion, the @a wxConvLibc class instance is used. See wxCSConv and wxMBConv.
-
- wxString implements most of the methods of the @c std::string class.
- These standard functions are only listed here, but they are not
- fully documented in this manual. Please see the STL documentation.
+ wxString is a class representing a Unicode character string.
+ wxString uses @c std::basic_string internally (even if @c wxUSE_STL is not defined)
+ to store its content (unless this is not supported by the compiler or disabled
+ specifically when building wxWidgets) and it therefore inherits
+ many features from @c std::basic_string. (Note that most implementations of
+ @c std::basic_string are thread-safe and don't use reference counting.)
+
+ These @c std::basic_string standard functions are only listed here, but
+ they are not fully documented in this manual; see the STL documentation
+ (http://www.cppreference.com/wiki/string/start) for more info.
The behaviour of all these functions is identical to the behaviour
described there.
You may notice that wxString sometimes has several functions which do
- the same thing like Length(), Len() and length() which
- all return the string length. In all cases of such duplication the
- @c std::string compatible method should be used.
-
- 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 operator<<()
- @li operator+=()
- @li operator+()
- @li Append()
- @li Prepend()
-
- 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()
-
- 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()
-
- 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 build", 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()
-
- 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 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.
- 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 Cmp()
- @li CmpNoCase()
- @li IsSameAs()
- @li Matches()
- @li StartsWith()
- @li EndsWith()
-
- 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()
-
- 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 Alloc()
- @li Shrink()
- @li wxStringBuffer
- @li wxStringBufferLength
-
- Miscellaneous other string functions.
-
- @li Trim()
- @li Truncate()
- @li Pad()
-
- These functions return the string length and check whether the string
- is empty or they empty it.
-
- @li Len()
- @li IsEmpty()
- @li operator!()
- @li Empty()
- @li Clear()
-
- 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 Mid()
- @li operator()()
- @li Left()
- @li Right()
- @li BeforeFirst()
- @li BeforeLast()
- @li AfterFirst()
- @li AfterLast()
- @li StartsWith()
- @li EndsWith()
-
- These functions replace the standard @e strchr() and @e strstr()
- functions.
-
- @li Find()
- @li Replace()
-
- 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>>()
+ the same thing like Length(), Len() and length() which all return the
+ string length. In all cases of such duplication the @c std::string
+ compatible methods should be used.
+
+ For informations about the internal encoding used by wxString and
+ for important warnings and advices for using it, please read
+ the @ref overview_string.
+
+ Since wxWidgets 3.0 wxString always stores Unicode strings, so you should
+ be sure to read also @ref overview_unicode.
