Parameters
aDestis the destination byte buffer.
aSourceis the source bytes as a C string.
aDestSizeis the size of the destination byte buffer.
Returns
the number of bytes read from source, which may be more than the number copied, due to escaping of double quotes and the escape byte itself.

Referenced by convertDescription().

◆ ReplaceIllegalFileNameChars() [1/2]

bool ReplaceIllegalFileNameChars ( std::string *  aName,
int  aReplaceChar = 0 
)

Checks aName for illegal file name characters.

The Windows (DOS) file system forbidden characters already include the forbidden file name characters for both Posix and OSX systems. The characters \/?*|"<> are illegal and are replaced with xx where xx the hexadecimal equivalent of the replaced character. This replacement may not be as elegant as using an underscore ('_') or hyphen ('-') but it guarantees that there will be no naming conflicts when fixing footprint library names. however, if aReplaceChar is given, it will replace the illegal chars

Parameters
aNameis a point to a std::string object containing the footprint name to verify.
aReplaceChar(if not 0) is the replacement char.
Returns
true if any characters have been replaced in aName.

wxString *  strBeginning,

◆ StripTrailingZeros()

void StripTrailingZeros ( wxString &  aStringValue,
unsigned  aTrailingZeroAllowed = 1

Definition at line 1288 of file string_utils.cpp.

◆ StrNumCmp()

int StrNumCmp ( const wxString &  aString1,
const wxString &  aString2,
bool  aIgnoreCase = false 
)

Compare two strings with alphanumerical content.

This function is equivalent to strncmp() or strncasecmp() if aIgnoreCase is true except that strings containing numbers are compared by their integer value not by their ASCII code. In other words U10 would be greater than U2.

Parameters
aString1A wxString reference to the reference string.
aString2A wxString reference to the comparison string.
aIgnoreCaseUse true to make the comparison case insensitive.
Returns
An integer value of -1 if aString1 is less than aString2, 0 if aString1 is equal to aString2, or 1 if aString1 is greater than aString2.

◆ UIDouble2Str()

std::string UIDouble2Str ( double  aValue)

Print a float number without using scientific notation and no trailing 0 We want to avoid scientific notation in S-expr files (not easy to read) for floating numbers.

We cannot always just use the g or the f format to print a fp number this helper function uses the f format when needed, or g when f is not well working and then removes trailing 0
