Detailed Description

The class RWWConstSubString allows some subsection of an RWWString 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 can also be done on your behalf by such functions as RWWString::strip(). There are no public constructors other than two that allow you to create an RWWConstSubString from an existing RWWSubString or RWWConstSubString. In general, RWWConstSubString objects are constructed by various functions of the RWWString 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/wstring.h>
 RWWString s("test string");
 s(6,3);     // "tri"

Persistence

None

Examples

 #include <iostream>
 #include <rw/wstring.h>
 
 int main()
 {
 const RWWString s (L"What I tell you is true.");
  
     std::cout << "Take the string: [" << s << "]\n";
 
     // Create a string from substrings:
 const RWWString s2 (s(0, 16) + L"three times " + s(16, 8));
 
     std::cout << "After creating a string from substrings, you have: ["
               << s2 << "]" << std::endl;
 
     return 0;
 }

Program output (assuming your platform displays wide characters as US-ASCII if they are in the US-ASCII character set):

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

)

const [inline]

Returns true if this is a null substring.

size_t RWWConstSubString::length

wchar_t RWWConstSubString::operator[]

(

unsigned long long

i

const

Returns the i ^th character of the substring. The index i must be between zero and the length of the substring, less one. Bounds checking is performed.

Exceptions:

RWBoundsErr

Thrown if the index is out of range.

wchar_t RWWConstSubString::operator[]

(

long long

i

const

Returns the i ^th character of the substring. The index i must be between zero and the length of the substring, less one. Bounds checking is performed.

Exceptions:

RWBoundsErr

Thrown if the index is out of range.

wchar_t RWWConstSubString::operator[]
