Detailed Description

The class RWCConstSubString allows some subsection of an RWCString to be addressed by defining a starting position and an extent. For example, the 7th through the 11th elements, inclusive, would have a starting position of 7 and an extent of 5. The specification of a starting position and extent is also done on your behalf by such functions as RWCString::strip(). There are no public constructors other than one that creates an RWCConstSubString from an existing RWCSubString. In general, RWCConstSubStrings are constructed by various functions of the RWCString class and then destroyed immediately.

A zero length substring is one with a defined starting position and an extent of zero. It can be thought of as starting just before the indicated character, but not including it. It can be used as an lvalue. A null substring is also legal and is frequently used to indicate that a requested substring, perhaps through a search, does not exist. A null substring can be detected with member function isNull(). However, it cannot be used as an lvalue.

Synopsis
#include <rw/cstring.h>
const RWCString s("test string");
s(6,3); // "tri"
Persistence
None
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <rw/cstring.h>
int main()
{
const RWCString s ("What I tell you is true.");
std::cout << "Take the string: [" << s << "]\n";
// Create a string from substrings:
const RWCString s2 (s(0, 16) + "three times " + s(16, 8));
std::cout << "After creating a string from substrings, you have: ["
<< s2 << "]" << std::endl;
return 0;
}

Program output:

Take the string: [What I tell you is true.]
After creating a string from substrings, you have: [What I tell you three times is true.]

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RWCConstSubString::RWCConstSubString ( const RWCConstSubString &  str)
inline

Copy constructor. The resulting substring references the same start and extent of the RWCString associated with str.

Note
The resulting substring instance should not be used if the RWCString associated with str is modified after the substring is instantiated.
RWCConstSubString::RWCConstSubString ( const RWCSubString &  str)
inline

Constructs an RWCConstSubString from an existing RWCSubString. The resulting substring references the same start and extent of the RWCString associated with str.

Note
The resulting substring instance should not be used if the RWCString associated with str is modified after the substring is instantiated.
