Detailed Description

User interface class.

Library: dataccess

The IliString class defines objects that manage a character string.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IliString() [1/3]

IliString::IliString

(

char

c

)

Initializes a string of length 1 containing a character.

Parameters

c	The character.

IliString() [2/3]

IliString::IliString

(

const char *

str

)

Initializes a string initialized with a string.

Parameters

str	The string.

IliString() [3/3]

IliString::IliString	(	const char *	str,
		IlUInt	len
	)

Initializes a string initialized with a string.

Parameters

str	The string.
len	The maximum character count to copy.

Member Function Documentation

append() [1/2]

IliString& IliString::append

(

const char *

str

)

Appends the character string to the string object.

Parameters

str	The string value.

Returns

The modified object.

append() [2/2]

IliString& IliString::append	(	const char *	str,
		IlUInt	len
	)

Appends a substring.

Parameters

str	The string.
len	The maximum character count to copy.

appendHex()

IliString& IliString::appendHex

(

unsigned long

l

)

Appends the character string representation (in hexadecimal) of a long integer to the string.

Parameters

l	The long integer value.

isNull()

IlBoolean IliString::isNull

(

)

const

Returns IlTrue if the string is empty.

Returns

IlTrue if the string is empty (that is, if it has a length of 0).

length()

IlUInt IliString::length

(

)

const

Returns the length of the string in characters.

Returns

The length of the string in characters. The terminating NULL character is not counted.

operator const char *()

IliString::operator const char *

(

)

const

Returns the current value of the string as a pointer to an array of constant characters.

Returns

The current value of the string as a pointer to an array of constant characters. The return value is valid only as long as the string object has not been modified or deleted. This cast operator never returns NULL. When the string object is empty, it returns a pointer to a null-terminated character string of length 0.

operator<<() [1/8]

IliString& IliString::operator<<

(

char

c

)

Appends a character.

Parameters

c	The character.

Returns

The modified object.

operator<<() [2/8]

IliString& IliString::operator<<

(

const char *

str

)

Appends the character string to the string object.

Parameters

str	The string value.

Returns

The modified object.

operator<<() [3/8]

IliString& IliString::operator<<

(

const IliString &

str

)

Appends the string to the string object.

Parameters

str	The string value.

Returns

The modified object.

operator<<() [4/8]

IliString& IliString::operator<<

(

double

d

)

Appends the character string representation of the double precision value, to the string.

Parameters

d	The double integer.

Returns

The modified object.

operator<<() [5/8]

IliString& IliString::operator<<

(

int

i

)

Appends an integer.

Parameters

i	The integer.

Returns

The modified object.

operator<<() [6/8]

IliString& IliString::operator<<

(

long

l

)

Appends the character string representation (in decimal) of a long integer, to the string.

Parameters

l	The long integer.

Returns

The modified object.

operator<<() [7/8]

IliString& IliString::operator<<

(

unsigned long

ul

)

Appends the character string representation (in decimal) of an unsigned long integer, to the string.

Parameters

ul	The unsigned long integer.

Returns

The modified object.

operator<<() [8/8]

IliString& IliString::operator<<

(

unsigned

u

)

Appends the character string representation (in decimal) of an unsigned integer, to the string.

Parameters

(

int

i

)

const

Returns a constant reference to a character of the string.

Parameters

i	The character position.

Returns

A constant reference to the character. If the position is out of bounds, the return value is not meaningful.

operator[]() [3/4]

char& IliString::operator[]

(

long

i

)

Returns a reference to a character of the string.

Parameters

i	The character position.

Returns

A reference to the character. If the position is out of bounds, the return value is not meaningful.
