◆ TO_UTF8

#define TO_UTF8 (   wxstring)    ( (const char*) ( wxstring ).utf8_str() )

Convert a wxString to a UTF8 encoded C string for all wxWidgets build modes.

wxstring is a wxString, not a wxT() or _(). The scope of the return value is very limited and volatile, but can be used with printf() style functions well.

Note
Trying to convert it to a function is tricky because of the type of the parameter!

◆ NormalizeFileUri()

KICOMMON_API wxString NormalizeFileUri ( const wxString &  aFileUri)

Normalize file path aFileUri to URI convention.

Unfortunately none of the wxWidgets objects results in acceptable file URIs which breaks PDF plotting URI links. This is an attempt to normalize Windows local file paths to a URI that PDF readers that can run JavaScript can handle.

Note
This does not expand environment or user variables. Variable expansion should be performed before calling. If aFileUri does not begin with 'file://', aFileUri returned unchanged.
Parameters
aFileUriis the string to be normalized.
Returns
the normalized string.

◆ ReadDelimitedText() [1/2]

KICOMMON_API 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
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.
Deprecated:
should use the one which fetches a wxString, below.

Parameters
aDestis the destination wxString.
aSourceis 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]

KICOMMON_API 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.

◆ StripTrailingZeros()

KICOMMON_API void StripTrailingZeros ( wxString &  aStringValue,

◆ StrNumCmp()

KICOMMON_API 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.

◆ ValueStringCompare()

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

Compare strings like the strcmp function but handle numbers and modifiers within the string text correctly for sorting.

eg. 1mF > 55uF

Returns
-1 if first string is less than the second, 0 if the strings are equal, or 1 if the first string is greater than the second.

◆ WildCompareString()

KICOMMON_API bool WildCompareString ( const wxString &  pattern,
const wxString &  string_to_tst,
bool  case_sensitive = true 
)

Compare a string against wild card (* and ?) pattern using the usual rules.

Returns
true if pattern matched otherwise false.
