'\0'-terminated char array. +<p> + + + +<p> TQString uses <a href="shclass.html">implicit sharing</a>, which +makes it very efficient and easy to use. +<p> In all of the TQString methods that take <tt>const char *</tt> +parameters, the <tt>const char *</tt> is interpreted as a classic +C-style '\0'-terminated ASCII string. It is legal for the <tt>const char *</tt> parameter to be 0. If the <tt>const char *</tt> is not +'\0'-terminated, the results are undefined. Functions that copy +classic C strings into a TQString will not copy the terminating +'\0' character. The <a href="qchar.html">TQChar</a> array of the TQString (as returned by +<a href="#unicode">unicode</a>()) is generally not terminated by a '\0'. If you need to +pass a TQString to a function that requires a C '\0'-terminated +string use <a href="#latin1">latin1</a>(). +<p> <!-- index TQString::null --><a name="TQString-null"></a>A TQString that has not been assigned to anything is <em>null</em>, i.e. +both the length and data pointer is 0. A TQString that references +the empty string ("", a single '\0' char) is <em>empty</em>. Both null +and empty TQStrings are legal parameters to the methods. Assigning +<tt>(const char *) 0</tt> to TQString gives a null TQString. For +convenience, <a href="ntqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a> is a null TQString. When sorting, +empty strings come first, followed by non-empty strings, followed +by null strings. We recommend using <tt>if ( !str.isNull() )</tt> to +check for a non-null string rather than <tt>if ( !str )</tt>; see <a href="#operator!">operator!</a>() for an explanation. +<p> Note that if you find that you are mixing usage of <a href="ntqcstring.html">TQCString</a>, +TQString, and <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a>, this causes lots of unnecessary +copying and might indicate that the true nature of the data you +are dealing with is uncertain. If the data is '\0'-terminated 8-bit +data, use <a href="ntqcstring.html">TQCString</a>; if it is unterminated (i.e. contains '\0's) +8-bit data, use <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a>; if it is text, use TQString. +<p> Lists of strings are handled by the <a href="ntqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> class. You can +split a string into a list of strings using <a href="ntqstringlist.html#split">TQStringList::split</a>(), +and join a list of strings into a single string with an optional +separator using <a href="ntqstringlist.html#join">TQStringList::join</a>(). You can obtain a list of +strings from a string list that contain a particular substring or +that match a particular <a href="ntqregexp.html">regex</a> using +<a href="ntqstringlist.html#grep">TQStringList::grep</a>(). +<p> <b>Note for C programmers</b> +<p> Due to C++'s type system and the fact that TQString is <a href="shclass.html#implicitly-shared">implicitly shared</a>, TQStrings can be treated like ints or other simple base +types. For example: +<p> <pre> + TQString boolToString( bool b ) + { + TQString result; + if ( b ) + result = "True"; + else + result = "False"; + return result; + } + </pre> + +<p> The variable, result, is an auto variable allocated on the stack. +When return is called, because we're returning by value, The copy +constructor is called and a copy of the string is returned. (No +actual copying takes place thanks to the <a href="shclass.html#implicit-sharing">implicit sharing</a>, see +below.) +<p> Throughout TQt's source code you will encounter TQString usages like +this: +<pre> + TQString func( const TQString& input ) + { + TQString output = input; + // process output + return output; + } + </pre> + +<p> The 'copying' of input to output is almost as fast as copying a +pointer because behind the scenes copying is achieved by +incrementing a reference count. TQString (like all TQt's implicitly +shared classes) operates on a copy-on-write basis, only copying if +an instance is actually changed. +<p> If you wish to create a <a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a> of a TQString without losing any +Unicode information then you should use <a href="ntqdeepcopy.html">TQDeepCopy</a>. +<p> <p>See also <a href="qchar.html">TQChar</a>, <a href="ntqcstring.html">TQCString</a>, <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a>, <a href="qconststring.html">TQConstString</a>, <a href="shared.html">Implicitly and Explicitly Shared Classes</a>, <a href="text.html">Text Related Classes</a>, and <a href="tools.html">Non-GUI Classes</a>. + +<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="SectionFlags-enum"></a>TQString::SectionFlags</h3> + +<ul> +<li><tt>TQString::SectionDefault</tt> - Empty fields are counted, leading and +trailing separators are not included, and the separator is +compared case sensitively. +<li><tt>TQString::SectionSkipEmpty</tt> - Treat empty fields as if they don't exist, +i.e. they are not considered as far as <em>start</em> and <em>end</em> are +concerned. +<li><tt>TQString::SectionIncludeLeadingSep</tt> - Include the leading separator (if +any) in the result string. +<li><tt>TQString::SectionIncludeTrailingSep</tt> - Include the trailing separator +(if any) in the result string. +<li><tt>TQString::SectionCaseInsensitiveSeps</tt> - Compare the separator +case-insensitively. +</ul><p> Any of the last four values can be OR-ed together to form a flag. +<p> <p>See also <a href="#section">section</a>(). + +<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQString"></a>TQString::TQString () +</h3> + +<p> Constructs a null string, i.e. both the length and data pointer +are 0. +<p> <p>See also <a href="#isNull">isNull</a>(). + +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQString-2"></a>TQString::TQString ( <a href="qchar.html">TQChar</a> ch ) +</h3> +Constructs a string of length one, containing the character <em>ch</em>. + +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQString-3"></a>TQString::TQString ( const <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> & s ) +</h3> +Constructs an <a href="shclass.html#implicitly-shared">implicitly shared</a> copy of <em>s</em>.
