Returns the empty string if {\it ch} is not found.
\membersection{wxString::c\_str}\label{wxstringcstr}
\constfunc{bool}{IsAscii}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the string is ASCII.
+Returns TRUE if the string contains only ASCII characters.
\membersection{wxString::IsEmpty}\label{wxstringisempty}
\constfunc{bool}{IsEmpty}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the string is NULL.
+Returns TRUE if the string is empty.
\membersection{wxString::IsNull}\label{wxstringisnull}
\constfunc{bool}{IsNull}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the string is NULL (same as IsEmpty).
+Returns TRUE if the string is empty (same as \helpref{IsEmpty}{wxstringisempty}).
\membersection{wxString::IsNumber}\label{wxstringisnumber}
\constfunc{bool}{IsNumber}{\void}
-Returns TRUE if the string is a positive or negative integer. Will return FALSE for decimals.
+Returns TRUE if the string is an integer (with possible sign).
\membersection{wxString::IsSameAs}\label{wxstringissameas}
\constfunc{wxString}{Left}{\param{char}{ ch}}
-Returns all characters before the first occurence of {\it ch}.
+Returns all characters before the first occurrence of {\it ch}.
Returns the whole string if {\it ch} is not found.
\membersection{wxString::Len}\label{wxstringlen}
\func{size\_t}{Replace}{\param{const char*}{ szOld}, \param{const char*}{ szNew}, \param{bool}{ replaceAll = TRUE}}
-Replace first (or all) occurences of substring with another one.
+Replace first (or all) occurrences of substring with another one.
-{\it replaceAll}: global replace (default), or only the first occurence.
+{\it replaceAll}: global replace (default), or only the first occurrence.
Returns the number of replacements made.
\membersection{wxString::ToLong}\label{wxstringtolong}
-\constfunc{bool}{ToLong}{\param{long}{ *val}}
+\constfunc{bool}{ToLong}{\param{long}{ *val}, \param{int }{base = 0}}
-Attempts to convert the string to a signed integer. Returns TRUE on success
-(the number is stored in the location pointed to by {\it val}) or FALSE if the
-string does not represent such number.
+Attempts to convert the string to a signed integer in base {\it base}. Returns
+{\tt TRUE} on success in which case the number is stored in the location
+pointed to by {\it val} or {\tt FALSE} if the string does not represent a
+valid number in the given base.
+
+The default value of {\it base} $0$ is special and means that the usual rules
+of {\tt C} numbers are applied: if the number starts with {\tt 0x} it is
+considered to be in base $16$, if it starts with {\tt 0} - in base $8$ and in
+base $10$ otherwise.

+\section{\class{wxStringBuffer}}\label{wxstringbuffer}
+
+This tiny class allows to conveniently access the \helpref{wxString}{wxstring}
+internal buffer as a writable pointer without any risk to forget to restore
+the string to the usable state later.
+
+For example, assuming you have a low-level OS function called
+{\tt GetMeaningOfLifeAsString(char *)} returning the value in the provided
+buffer (which must be writable, of course) you might call it like this:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxString theAnswer;
+ GetMeaningOfLifeAsString(wxStringBuffer(theAnswer, 1024));
+ if ( theAnswer != "42" )
+ {
+ wxLogError("Something is very wrong!");
+ }
+\end{verbatim}

+\membersection{wxStringBuffer::wxStringBuffer}
+
+\func{}{wxStringBuffer}{\param{const wxString\& }{str}, \param{size\_t }{len}}
+
+Constructs a writable string buffer object associated with the given string
+and containing enough space for at least {\it len} characters. Basicly, this
+is equivalent to calling \helpref{GetWriteBuf}{wxstringgetwritebuf} and
+saving the result.
+
+\membersection{wxStringBuffer::\destruct{wxStringBuffer}}
+
+\func{}{\destruct{wxStringBuffer}}{\void}
+
+Restores the string passed to the constructor to the usable state by calling
+\helpref{UngetWriteBuf}{wxstringungetwritebuf} on it.
+
+\membersection{wxStringBuffer::operator wxChar *}
+
+\constfunc{wxChar *}{operator wxChar *}{\void}
+
+Returns the writable pointer to a buffer of the size at least equal to the
+length specified in the constructor.
