RTL_CONSTASCII_LENGTH

#define RTL_CONSTASCII_LENGTH

(

constAsciiStr

)

((sal_Int32)(SAL_N_ELEMENTS(constAsciiStr)-1))

Supply the length of an ASCII string literal.

This macro can be used to compute arguments in function calls like rtl::OUString::match(other, RTL_CONSTASCII_LENGTH("prefix")).

Parameters

constAsciiStr

must be an expression of type "(possibly cv-qualified reference to) array of (possibly cv-qualified) char." Each element of the referenced array must represent an ASCII value in the range 0x00–0x7F. The last element of the referenced array is not considered part of the represented ASCII string, and its value should be 0x00. Depending on where this macro is used, the nature of the supplied expression might be further restricted.

RTL_CONSTASCII_STRINGPARAM

#define RTL_CONSTASCII_STRINGPARAM

(

constAsciiStr

)

Value:

    (&(constAsciiStr)[0]), \
    ((sal_Int32)SAL_N_ELEMENTS(constAsciiStr)-1)

Supply an ASCII string literal together with its length.

This macro can be used to compute (some of) the arguments in function calls like rtl::OString(RTL_CONSTASCII_STRINGPARAM("foo")) or rtl::OUString::equalsAsciiL(RTL_CONSTASCII_STRINGPARAM("foo")).

Parameters

constAsciiStr

must be an expression of type "(possibly cv-qualified reference to) array of (possibly cv-qualified) char." Each element of the referenced array must represent an ASCII value in the range 0x00–0x7F. The last element of the referenced array is not considered part of the represented ASCII string, and its value should be 0x00. Depending on where this macro is used, the nature of the supplied expression might be further restricted.

Function Documentation

rtl_convertUStringToString()

SAL_DLLPUBLIC sal_Bool rtl_convertUStringToString	(	rtl_String **	pTarget,
		sal_Unicode const *	pSource,
		sal_Int32	nLength,
		rtl_TextEncoding	nEncoding,
		sal_uInt32	nFlags
	)

Converts a Unicode string to a byte string, signalling failure.

Parameters

pTarget	An out parameter receiving the converted string. Must not be null itself, and must contain either null or a pointer to a valid rtl_String; the contents are not modified if conversion fails (rtl_convertUStringToString returns false).
pSource	The Unicode string. May only be null if nLength is zero.
nLength	The length of the Unicode string. Must be non-negative.
nEncoding	The text encoding to convert into. Must be an octet encoding (i.e., rtl_isOctetTextEncoding(nEncoding) must return true).
nFlags	A combination of RTL_UNICODETOTEXT_FLAGS that detail how to do the conversion (see rtl_convertUnicodeToText). RTL_UNICODETOTEXT_FLAGS_FLUSH need not be included, it is implicitly assumed. Typical uses are either RTL_UNICODETOTEXT_FLAGS_UNDEFINED_ERROR | RTL_UNICODETOTEXT_FLAGS_INVALID_ERROR (fail if a Unicode character cannot be converted to the target nEncoding) or OUSTRING_TO_OSTRING_CVTFLAGS (make a best efforts conversion).

Returns

True if the conversion succeeded, false otherwise.

rtl_str_compare()

The comparison is based on the numeric value of each character in the strings and returns a value indicating their relationship. This function cannot be used for language-specific sorting. Both strings must be null-terminated.

Parameters

first	the first null-terminated string to be compared.
second	the second null-terminated string which is compared with the first one.

Returns

0 if both strings are equal, a value less than 0 if the first string is less than the second string, and a value greater than 0 if the first string is greater than the second string.

rtl_str_compare_WithLength()

	)

Compare two strings.

The comparison is based on the numeric value of each character in the strings and returns a value indicating their relationship. This function cannot be used for language-specific sorting.

Parameters

first	the first string to be compared. Need not be null-terminated, but must be at least as long as the specified firstLen.
firstLen	the length of the first string.
second	the second string which is compared with the first one. Need not be null-terminated, but must be at least as long as the specified secondLen.
secondLen	the length of the second string.

Returns

0 if both strings are equal, a value less than 0 if the first string is less than the second string, and a value greater than 0 if the first string is greater than the second string.

rtl_str_compareIgnoreAsciiCase()

SAL_DLLPUBLIC sal_Int32 rtl_str_compareIgnoreAsciiCase	(	const char *	first,

	)

Compare two strings, ignoring the case of ASCII characters.

The comparison is based on the numeric value of each character in the strings and returns a value indicating their relationship. Character values between 65 and 90 (ASCII A–Z) are interpreted as values between 97 and 122 (ASCII a–z). This function cannot be used for language-specific sorting. Both strings must be null-terminated.

Parameters

first	the first null-terminated string to be compared.
second	the second null-terminated string which is compared with the first one.

Returns

0 if both strings are equal, a value less than 0 if the first string is less than the second string, and a value greater than 0 if the first string is greater than the second string.

		sal_Int32	idx
	)

Create a new string by extracting a single token from another string.

Starting at index, the next token is searched for. If there is no such token, the result is an empty string. Otherwise, all characters from the start of that token and up to, but not including the next occurrence of cTok make up the resulting token. The return value is the position of the next token, or -1 if no more tokens follow.

The new string does not necessarily have a reference count of 1, so it must not be modified without checking the reference count. This function does not handle out-of-memory conditions.

Parameters

newStr	pointer to the new string. The pointed-to data must be null or a valid string. If either token or index is negative, an empty token is stored in newStr (and -1 is returned).
str	a valid string.

The new string results from replacing all characters with values between 97 and 122 (ASCII a–z) by values between 65 and 90 (ASCII A–Z).

This function cannot be used for language-specific conversion. The new string does not necessarily have a reference count of 1 (in cases where no characters need to be converted), so it must not be modified without checking the reference count. This function does not handle out-of-memory conditions.

Parameters

newStr	pointer to the new string. The pointed-to data must be null or a valid string.
str	a valid string.

rtl_string_newTrim()

SAL_DLLPUBLIC void rtl_string_newTrim	(	rtl_String **	newStr,
		rtl_String *	str
	)

Create a new string by removing white space from both ends of another string.

The new string results from removing all characters with values less than or equal to 32 (the space character) form both ends of str.

This function cannot be used for language-specific conversion. The new string does not necessarily have a reference count of 1 (in cases where no characters need to be removed), so it must not be modified without checking the reference count. This function does not handle out-of-memory conditions.

Parameters

newStr	pointer to the new string. The pointed-to data must be null or a valid string.
str	a valid string.

rtl_string_release()

SAL_DLLPUBLIC void rtl_string_release

(

rtl_String *

str

)

Decrement the reference count of a string.

If the count goes to zero than the string data is deleted.

Parameters

str

a string.

rtl_uString2String()

SAL_DLLPUBLIC void rtl_uString2String	(	rtl_String **	newStr,
		const sal_Unicode *	str,
		sal_Int32	len,
		rtl_TextEncoding	encoding,
		sal_uInt32	convertFlags
	)

Create a new byte string by converting a Unicode string, using a specific text encoding.

The lengths of the byte string and the Unicode string may differ (e.g., for double-byte encodings, UTF-7, UTF-8).

If the length of the Unicode string is greater than zero, the reference count of the new string will be 1.

If an out-of-memory condition occurs, newStr will point to a null pointer upon return.

Parameters

newStr	pointer to the new string. The pointed-to data must be null or a valid string.
str	a Unicode character array. Need not be null-terminated, but must be at least as long as the specified len.
len	the length of the Unicode character array.
encoding	the text encoding to use for conversion.
convertFlags	flags which control the conversion. Either use OUSTRING_TO_OSTRING_CVTFLAGS, or see http://udk.openoffice.org/cpp/man/spec/textconversion.html for more details.
