Detailed Description

See also

Class WStr, UTF8Str and MaxString, Guidelines for Handling Character Strings.

Description:

A simple character string class. This is the standard character string class used in 3ds Max. Methods and operators are provided for calculating lengths, concatenation, substring operations, character searching, case conversion, comparison, and formatted writing.

This class automatically allocates the proper amount of space for the string. This is very handy in the case of internationalization / localization. For example, if you code something like:

MSTR myString = GetString(IDS_STRING_ID);

then myString's constructor will allocate enough space to store the resource string no matter how long it is. This is much better than doing the following:

MCHAR myString[64];

_tcscpy(myString, GetString(IDS_STRING_ID));

because the resource string may turn out to be much longer than 64 bytes once it's translated to German or French (or whatever).

As another example, if you have the following code:

MSTR str1 = _M("This is string1.");

MSTR str2 = _M("This is string2.");

Then

MSTR concatStr = str1 + str2;

will again yield a (concatenated) string will enough space to hold the concatenated contents of str1 and str2, automatically.

All methods are implemented by the system.

Note

The memory occupied by a CStr object is cannot be larger than 2Gb.

By design, this class assume that all the character data that you use to instanciate them or manipulate them are using the code page defined by the current active language of the 3dsMax. It should not be used to contains data in UTF-8 or in other code page than the current one.

dataForWrite()

char * dataForWrite

(

size_t

nchars = (size_t) -1

)

Returns a pointer to this string which can be written to with up to 'nchars' characters.

Remarks

The terminating null character is not included in nchars, so technically up to nchars+1 characters may be written.

Parameters

nchars

The minimum number of characters to allocate in the string buffer (excluding the terminating null character). A value of -1 specifies that the existing buffer should be re-used.

data()

const char * data

(

)

const

Remarks

Returns a const pointer to the string. If the string is NULL, a pointer to 0 is returned.

operator const char *()

operator const char *

(

)

const

Remarks

Returns a const pointer to the string. If the string is NULL, a pointer to 0 is returned.

operator QString()

operator QString

(

)

const

Conversion operator to QString.

Resize()

void Resize

(

int

nchars

Remarks

Reallocates the string to contain nchars characters. If the string is enlarged it is padded with blanks.

Parameters:

int nchars

Specifies the new number of characters for the string.

Length()

inline

Remarks

Returns the number of chars used to store the string in memory, including spaces, but excluding the terminating NULL character.

const

Remarks

Returns the number of natural language characters the string is represented on, including spaces, but excluding the terminal NULL character. For multi-byte languages, this may be equal or less than the amount of bytes used to store the string in memory. For example, a Chinese character might take two bytes. Length() or ByteCount() will count the character as two distinct char. LanguageCharacterCount() will count it as a single char.

Parameters

format	Specifies how to format the destination string.
...	optional arguments to format into the destination string.

Precondition

format is not null.

There are the correct number of elliptical arguments to fill the format string.

This method is similar to CStr::printf. Instead of taking a variable list of arguments as parameter, it takes a structure representing a variable list of arguments. This allows CStr objects to be used to build strings based on a format string and a variable number of arguments:

void LogMessage(const char* format, ...) {
    va_list args;
    va_start(args, format);
    CStr buf;
    buf.vprintf(format, args);
    va_end(args);
    // log the message contained by buf
}

vprintf_l()

int vprintf_l	(	const char *	format,
		const _locale_t	theLocale,
		va_list	args
	)

Write a formatted string into this CStr using specified locale.

This method is similar to CStr::printf_l. Instead of taking a variable list of arguments as parameter, it takes a structure representing a variable list of arguments. This allows CStr objects to be used to build strings based on a format string, a locale, and a variable number of arguments:

void LogMessage_l(const char* format, const _locale_t theLocale, ...) {
    va_list args;
    va_start(args, format);
    CStr buf;
    buf.vprintf_l(format, theLocale, args);
    va_end(args);
    // log the message contained by buf
