.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The QString class provides an abstraction of Unicode text and the classic C '\0'-terminated char array.
|
|
.PP
|
|
QString uses implicit sharing, which makes it very efficient and easy to use.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In all of the QString methods that take \fCconst char *\fR parameters, the \fCconst char *\fR is interpreted as a classic C-style '\0'-terminated ASCII string. It is legal for the \fCconst char *\fR parameter to be 0. If the \fCconst char *\fR is not '\0'-terminated, the results are undefined. Functions that copy classic C strings into a QString will not copy the terminating '\0' character. The QChar array of the QString (as returned by unicode()) is generally not terminated by a '\0'. If you need to pass a QString to a function that requires a C '\0'-terminated string use latin1().
|
|
.PP
|
|
A QString that has not been assigned to anything is \fInull\fR, i.e. both the length and data pointer is 0. A QString that references the empty string ("", a single '\0' char) is \fIempty\fR. Both null and empty QStrings are legal parameters to the methods. Assigning \fC(const char *) 0\fR to QString gives a null QString. For convenience, QString::null is a null QString. When sorting, empty strings come first, followed by non-empty strings, followed by null strings. We recommend using \fCif ( !str.isNull() )\fR to check for a non-null string rather than \fCif ( !str )\fR; see operator!() for an explanation.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that if you find that you are mixing usage of QCString, QString, and QByteArray, 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 QCString; if it is unterminated (i.e. contains '\0's) 8-bit data, use QByteArray; if it is text, use QString.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Lists of strings are handled by the QStringList class. You can split a string into a list of strings using QStringList::split(), and join a list of strings into a single string with an optional separator using QStringList::join(). You can obtain a list of strings from a string list that contain a particular substring or that match a particular regex using QStringList::grep().
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBNote for C programmers\fR
|
|
.PP
|
|
Due to C++'s type system and the fact that QString is implicitly shared, QStrings can be treated like ints or other simple base types. For example:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
QString boolToString( bool b )
|
|
.br
|
|
{
|
|
.br
|
|
QString result;
|
|
.br
|
|
if ( b )
|
|
.br
|
|
result = "True";
|
|
.br
|
|
else
|
|
.br
|
|
result = "False";
|
|
.br
|
|
return result;
|
|
.br
|
|
}
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
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 implicit sharing, see below.)
|
|
.PP
|
|
Throughout Qt's source code you will encounter QString usages like this:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
QString func( const QString& input )
|
|
.br
|
|
{
|
|
.br
|
|
QString output = input;
|
|
.br
|
|
// process output
|
|
.br
|
|
return output;
|
|
.br
|
|
}
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
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. QString (like all Qt's implicitly shared classes) operates on a copy-on-write basis, only copying if an instance is actually changed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you wish to create a deep copy of a QString without losing any Unicode information then you should use QDeepCopy.
|
|

.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
|
|
.SH "QString::QString ()"
|
|
Constructs a null string, i.e. both the length and data pointer are 0.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also isNull().
|
|
.SH "QString::QString ( QChar ch )"
|
|
Constructs a string of length one, containing the character \fIch\fR.
|
|
.SH "QString::QString ( const QString & s )"
|
|
Constructs an implicitly shared copy of \fIs\fR. This is very fast since it only involves incrementing a reference count.
|
|
.SH "QString::QString ( const QByteArray & ba )"
|
|
Constructs a string that is a deep copy of \fIba\fR interpreted as a classic C string.
|
|
.SH "QString::QString ( const QChar * unicode, uint length )"
|
|
Constructs a string that is a deep copy of the first \fIlength\fR characters in the QChar array.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIunicode\fR and \fIlength\fR are 0, then a null string is created.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If only \fIunicode\fR is 0, the string is empty but has \fIlength\fR characters of space preallocated: QString expands automatically anyway, but this may speed up some cases a little. We recommend using the plain constructor and setLength() for this purpose since it will result in more readable code.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also isNull() and setLength().
|
|
.SH "QString::QString ( const char * str )"
|
|
Constructs a string that is a deep copy of \fIstr\fR, interpreted as a classic C string. The encoding is assumed to be Latin-1, unless you change it using QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings().
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIstr\fR is 0, then a null string is created.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This is a cast constructor, but it is perfectly safe: converting a Latin-1 \fCconst char *\fR to QString preserves all the information. You can disable this constructor by defining \fCQT_NO_CAST_ASCII\fR when you compile your applications. You can also make QString objects by using setLatin1(), fromLatin1(), fromLocal8Bit(), and fromUtf8(). Or whatever encoding is appropriate for the 8-bit data you have.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also isNull() and fromAscii().
|
|
.SH "QString::QString ( const std::string & str )"
|
|
Constructs a string that is a deep copy of \fIstr\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This is the same as fromAscii(\fIstr\fR).
|
|
.SH "QString::~QString ()"
|
|
Destroys the string and frees the string's data if this is the last reference to the string.
|
|
.SH "QString & QString::append ( const QString & str )"
|
|
Appends \fIstr\fR to the string and returns a reference to the result.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
string = "Test";
|
|
.br
|
|
string.append( "ing" ); // string == "Testing"

|
|
.SH "QString QString::arg ( const QString & a, int fieldWidth = 0 ) const"
|
|
This function will return a string that replaces the lowest numbered occurrence of \fC%1\fR, \fC%2\fR, ..., \fC%9\fR with \fIa\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIfieldWidth\fR value specifies the minimum amount of space that \fIa\fR is padded to. A positive value will produce right-aligned text, whereas a negative value will produce left-aligned text.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following example shows how we could create a 'status' string when processing a list of files:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
QString status = QString( "Processing file %1 of %2: %3" )
|
|
.br
|
|
.arg( i ) // current file's number
|
|
.br
|
|
.arg( total ) // number of files to process
|
|
.br
|
|
.arg( fileName ); // current file's name
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
It is generally fine to use filenames and numbers as we have done in the example above. But note that using arg() to construct natural language sentences does not usually translate well into other languages because sentence structure and word order often differ between languages.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If there is no place marker (\fC%1\fR, \fC%2\fR, etc.), a warning message (qWarning()) is output and the result is undefined.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBWarning:\fR If any placeholder occurs more than once, the result is undefined.
|
|
.SH "QString QString::arg ( long a, int fieldWidth = 0, int base = 10 ) const"
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIfieldWidth\fR value specifies the minimum amount of space that \fIa\fR is padded to. A positive value will produce a right-aligned number, whereas a negative value will produce a left-aligned number.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIa\fR is expressed in base \fIbase\fR, which is 10 by default and must be between 2 and 36.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The '%' can be followed by an 'L', in which case the sequence is replaced with a localized representation of \fIa\fR. The conversion uses the default locale. The default locale is determined from the system's locale settings at application startup. It can be changed using QLocale::setDefault(). The 'L' flag is ignored if \fIbase\fR is not 10.

For translations, especially if the strings contains more than one escape sequence, you should consider using the arg() function instead. This allows the order of the replacements to be controlled by the translator, and has Unicode support.

The %lc escape sequence expects a unicode character of type ushort (as returned by QChar::unicode()). The %ls escape sequence expects a pointer to a zero-terminated array of unicode characters of type ushort (as returned by QString::ucs2()).

toDouble() can handle numbers represented in various locales. These representations may use different characters for the decimal point, thousands group sepearator and even individual digits. QString's functions try to interpret the string according to the current locale. The current locale is determined from the system at application startup and can be changed by calling QLocale::setDefault(). If the string cannot be interpreted according to the current locale, this function falls back on the "C" locale.
