Referenced by KIGFX::PCB_PAINTER::draw().

ReadDelimitedText() [1/2]

int ReadDelimitedText	(	char *	aDest,
		const char *	aSource,
		int	aDestSize
	)

Copy bytes from aSource delimited string segment to aDest buffer.

The extracted string will be null terminated even if truncation is necessary because aDestSize was not large enough.

Parameters

aDest	is the destination byte buffer.
aSource	is the source bytes as a C string.
aDestSize	is 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.

Deprecated:

should use the one which fetches a wxString, below.

Definition at line 421 of file string_utils.cpp.

ReadDelimitedText() [2/2]

int ReadDelimitedText	(	wxString *	aDest,
		const char *	aSource
	)

Copy bytes from aSource delimited string segment to aDest wxString.

Parameters

aDest	is the destination wxString.
aSource	is the source C string holding utf8 encoded bytes.

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.

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

aName	is 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.

SplitString()

int SplitString	(	const wxString &	strToSplit,
		wxString *	strBeginning,
		wxString *	strDigits,
		wxString *	strEnd
	)

Break a string into three parts: he alphabetic preamble, the numeric part, and any alphabetic ending.

For example C10A is split to C 10 A

Referenced by ValueStringCompare().

StripTrailingZeros()

void StripTrailingZeros	(	wxString &	aStringValue,
		unsigned	aTrailingZeroAllowed = 1
	)

Remove trailing zeros from a string containing a converted float number.

The trailing zeros are removed if the mantissa has more than aTrailingZeroAllowed digits and some trailing zeros.

Definition at line 1106 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

aString1	A wxString reference to the reference string.
aString2	A wxString reference to the comparison string.
aIgnoreCase	Use 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.

ValueStringCompare()

int ValueStringCompare	(	const wxString &	strFWord,
		const wxString &	strSWord
	)

		const wxString &	string_to_tst,
		bool	case_sensitive = true
	)
