- @class wxStringBuffer
- @wxheader{string.h}
+ @class wxString
- This tiny class allows 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.
+ 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.
- 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:
+ 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.
- @code
- wxString theAnswer;
- GetMeaningOfLifeAsString(wxStringBuffer(theAnswer, 1024));
- if ( theAnswer != "42" )
- {
- wxLogError("Something is very wrong!");
- }
- @endcode
+ 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 methods should be used.
- Note that the exact usage of this depends on whether on 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 probably not a good idea if you want to build your program in
- both
- with and without wxUSE_STL.
+ For informations about the internal encoding used by wxString and
+ for important warnings and advices for using it, please read
+ the @ref overview_string.

-/**
- @class wxString
- @wxheader{string.h}
+ @section string_len String length
- 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's. Most
- implementations of @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) 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.
-
- As a consequence of this change, iterating over a wxString by index
- can become inefficient in UTF8 mode and iterators should be used instead:
+ These functions return the string length and check whether the string
+ is empty or they empty it.
- @code
- wxString s = "hello";
- wxString::const_iterator i;
- for (i = s.begin(); i != s.end(); ++i)
- {
- wxUniChar uni_ch = *i;
- // do something with it

- Please see the
- @ref overview_string "wxString overview" and the
- @ref overview_unicode "Unicode overview" for more information
- about it.
- 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.
+ @section string_access Character access
- 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.
- The behaviour of all these functions is identical to the behaviour
- described there.
+ 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

+ 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.

+ This tiny class allows you to conveniently access the wxString internal buffer

For example, assuming you have a low-level OS function called

+ @c "int GetMeaningOfLifeAsString(char *)" copying the value in the provided
buffer (which must be writable, of course), and returning the actual length
of the string, you might call it like this:
@code
- wxString theAnswer;
+ wxString theAnswer;
wxStringBuffer theAnswerBuffer(theAnswer, 1024);
int nLength = GetMeaningOfLifeAsString(theAnswerBuffer);
theAnswerBuffer.SetLength(nLength);

- Note that the exact usage of this depends on whether on not wxUSE_STL is

- 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 probably not a good idea if you want to build your program in
