Detailed Description

A substring class. The Substring class represents an efficient way to deal with substrings of String . Each Substring is bound to an instance of String and is defined by a start and end index. It can be used like a String (with several restrictions) but only affects the given range of the string it is bount to.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BALL::Substring::Substring (  ) 

Default constructor. Create an empty string.

BALL::Substring::Substring ( const Substring substring,

Copy constructor. Create a substring from another substring.

Parameters:
substring the substring to be copied
deep ignored
BALL::Substring::Substring ( const String string,
Index  from = 0,
Size  len = String::EndPos 
) throw (Exception::IndexUnderflow, Exception::IndexOverflow)

Create a substring from a string and two indices.

Member Function Documentation

Substring& BALL::Substring::bind ( const Substring substring,
Index  from = 0,
Size  len = String::EndPos 
) throw (Exception::IndexUnderflow, Exception::IndexOverflow)

Bind the substring to the same string another substring is bound to.

Parameters:
substring the substring that is bound to a string
Substring& BALL::Substring::bind ( const String string,
Index  from = 0,
Size  len = String::EndPos 
) throw (Exception::IndexUnderflow, Exception::IndexOverflow)

Bind the substring to a string.

Parameters:
string the string to bind to
from the start position in the string (default is the beginning of the string)
len the substring's length (default is to the end of the string)
const char* BALL::Substring::c_str (  )  const throw (Substring::UnboundSubstring)

Return a const pointer to the substring's contents.

char* BALL::Substring::c_str (  )  throw (Substring::UnboundSubstring)

Return a pointer to the substring's contents.

virtual void BALL::Substring::clear (  )  [virtual]

Clear the substrings contents. Unbind the substring from its string and set the start and the end position to 0.

void BALL::Substring::destroy (  ) 

Clear the substrings contents. Unbind the substring from its string and set the start and the end position to 0.

void BALL::Substring::dump ( std::ostream &  s = std::cout,
Size  depth = 0 
) const throw (Substring::UnboundSubstring)

Dumps the substring object (including the values of its private members).

const String* BALL::Substring::getBoundString (  )  const

Retunrs a const pointer to the bound String.

String* BALL::Substring::getBoundString (  )
