.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The QStringList class provides a list of strings.
|
|
.PP
|
|
It is used to store and manipulate strings that logically belong together. Essentially QStringList is a QValueList of QString objects. Unlike QStrList, which stores pointers to characters, QStringList holds real QString objects. It is the class of choice whenever you work with Unicode strings. QStringList is part of the Qt Template Library.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Like QString itself, QStringList objects are implicitly shared, so passing them around as value-parameters is both fast and safe.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Strings can be added to a list using append(), operator+=() or operator<<(), e.g.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
QStringList fonts;
|
|
.br
|
|
fonts.append( "Times" );
|
|
.br
|
|
fonts += "Courier";
|
|
.br
|
|
fonts += "Courier New";
|
|
.br
|
|
fonts << "Helvetica [Cronyx]" << "Helvetica [Adobe]";
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
String lists have an iterator, QStringList::Iterator(), e.g.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
for ( QStringList::Iterator it = fonts.begin(); it != fonts.end(); ++it ) {
|
|
.br
|
|
cout << *it << ":";
|
|
.br
|
|
}
|
|
.br
|
|
cout << endl;
|
|
.br
|
|
// Output:
|
|
.br
|
|
// Times:Courier:Courier New:Helvetica [Cronyx]:Helvetica [Adobe]:
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
Many Qt functions return string lists by value; to iterate over these you should make a copy and iterate over the copy.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can concatenate all the strings in a string list into a single string (with an optional separator) using join(), e.g.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
QString allFonts = fonts.join( ", " );
|
|
.br
|
|
cout << allFonts << endl;
|
|
.br
|
|
// Output:
|
|
.br
|
|
// Times, Courier, Courier New, Helvetica [Cronyx], Helvetica [Adobe]
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can sort the list with sort(), and extract a new list which contains only those strings which contain a particular substring (or match a particular regular expression) using the grep() functions, e.g.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
fonts.sort();
|
|
.br
|
|
cout << fonts.join( ", " ) << endl;
|
|
.br
|
|
// Output:
|
|
.br
|
|
// Courier, Courier New, Helvetica [Adobe], Helvetica [Cronyx], Times
|
|
.br
|
|
.br
|
|
QStringList helveticas = fonts.grep( "Helvetica" );
|
|
.br
|
|
cout << helveticas.join( ", " ) << endl;
|
|
.br
|
|
// Output:
|
|
.br
|
|
// Helvetica [Adobe], Helvetica [Cronyx]
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
Existing strings can be split into string lists with character, string or regular expression separators, e.g.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
QString s = "Red\\tGreen\\tBlue";
|
|
.br
|
|
QStringList colors = QStringList::split( "\\t", s );
|
|
.br
|
|
cout << colors.join( ", " ) << endl;
|
|
.br
|
|
// Output:
|
|
.br
|
|
// Red, Green, Blue
|

.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
|
|
.SH "QStringList::QStringList ()"
|
|
Creates an empty string list.
|
|
.SH "QStringList::QStringList ( const QStringList & l )"
|
|
Creates a copy of the list \fIl\fR. This function is very fast because QStringList is implicitly shared. In most situations this acts like a deep copy, for example, if this list or the original one or some other list referencing the same shared data is modified, the modifying list first makes a copy, i.e. copy-on-write. In a threaded environment you may require a real deep copy
|
|
.
|
|
.SH "QStringList::QStringList ( const QValueList<QString> & l )"
|
|
Constructs a new string list that is a copy of \fIl\fR.
|
|
.SH "QStringList::QStringList ( const QString & i )"
|
|
Constructs a string list consisting of the single string \fIi\fR. Longer lists are easily created as follows:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
QStringList items;
|
|
.br
|
|
items << "Buy" << "Sell" << "Update" << "Value";
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH "QStringList::QStringList ( const char * i )"
|
|
Constructs a string list consisting of the single Latin-1 string \fIi\fR.
|
|
.SH "QStringList QStringList::fromStrList ( const QStrList & ascii )\fC [static]\fR"
|
|
Converts from an ASCII-QStrList \fIascii\fR to a QStringList (Unicode).
|
|
.SH "QStringList QStringList::grep ( const QString & str, bool cs = TRUE ) const"
|
|
Returns a list of all the strings containing the substring \fIstr\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIcs\fR is TRUE, the grep is done case-sensitively; otherwise case is ignored.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
QStringList list;
|
|
.br
|
|
list << "Bill Gates" << "John Doe" << "Bill Clinton";
|
|
.br
|
|
list = list.grep( "Bill" );
|
|
.br
|
|
// list == ["Bill Gates", "Bill Clinton"]
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also QString::find().
|
|
.SH "QStringList QStringList::grep ( const QRegExp & rx ) const"
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Returns a list of all the strings that match the regular expression \fIrx\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also QString::find().
|
|
.SH "QStringList & QStringList::gres ( const QString & before, const QString & after, bool cs = TRUE )"
|
|
Replaces every occurrence of the string \fIbefore\fR in the strings that constitute the string list with the string \fIafter\fR. Returns a reference to the string list.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIcs\fR is TRUE, the search is case sensitive; otherwise the search is case insensitive.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Example:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
QStringList list;
|
|
.br
|
|
list << "alpha" << "beta" << "gamma" << "epsilon";
|
|
.br
|
|
list.gres( "a", "o" );
|
|
.br
|
|
// list == ["olpho", "beto", "gommo", "epsilon"]
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also QString::replace().
|
|
.SH "QStringList & QStringList::gres ( const QRegExp & rx, const QString & after )"
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Replaces every occurrence of the regexp \fIrx\fR in the string with \fIafter\fR. Returns a reference to the string list.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Example:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
QStringList list;
|
|
.br
|
|
list << "alpha" << "beta" << "gamma" << "epsilon";
|
|
.br
|
|
list.gres( QRegExp("^a"), "o" );
|
|
.br
|
|
// list == ["olpha", "beta", "gamma", "epsilon"]
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
For regexps containing capturing parentheses, occurrences of \fB\1\fR, \fB\2\fR, ..., in \fIafter\fR are replaced with \fIrx\fR.cap(1), cap(2), ...
|
|
.PP
|
|
Example:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.nf
|
|
.br
|
|
QStringList list;
|
|
.br
|
|
list << "Bill Clinton" << "Gates, Bill";
|
|
.br
|
|
list.gres( QRegExp("^(.*), (.*)$"), "\\\\2 \\\\1" );
|
|
.br
|
|
// list == ["Bill Clinton", "Bill Gates"]
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also QString::replace().
|
|
.SH "QString QStringList::join ( const QString & sep ) const"
|
|
Joins the string list into a single string with each element separated by the string \fIsep\fR (which can be empty).
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also split().
|
|
.PP
|
|
Examples:
|
|
.)l fileiconview/qfileiconview.cpp and toplevel/options.ui.h.
|
|
.SH "void QStringList::sort ()"
|
|
Sorts the list of strings in ascending case-sensitive order.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Sorting is very fast. It uses the Qt Template Library's efficient HeapSort implementation that has a time complexity of O(n*log n).
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you want to sort your strings in an arbitrary order consider using a QMap. For example you could use a QMap<QString,QString> to create a case-insensitive ordering (e.g. mapping the lowercase text to the text), or a QMap<int,QString> to sort the strings by some integer index, etc.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Example: themes/themes.cpp.
|
|
.SH "QStringList QStringList::split ( const QRegExp & sep, const QString & str, bool allowEmptyEntries = FALSE )\fC [static]\fR"
|
|
Splits the string \fIstr\fR into strings wherever the regular expression \fIsep\fR occurs, and returns the list of those strings.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIallowEmptyEntries\fR is TRUE, a null string is inserted in the list wherever the separator matches twice without intervening text.
|
|
.PP
|
|
For example, if you split the string "a,,b,c" on commas, split() returns the three-item list "a", "b", "c" if \fIallowEmptyEntries\fR is FALSE (the default), and the four-item list "a", "", "b", "c" if \fIallowEmptyEntries\fR is TRUE.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsep\fR does not match anywhere in \fIstr\fR, split() returns a single element list with the element containing the single string \fIstr\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
See also join() and QString::section().
|
|
.PP
|
|
Examples:
|
|
.)l chart/element.cpp, dirview/dirview.cpp, and network/httpd/httpd.cpp.
|
|
.SH "QStringList QStringList::split ( const QString & sep, const QString & str, bool allowEmptyEntries = FALSE )\fC [static]\fR"
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This version of the function uses a QString as separator, rather than a regular expression.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIsep\fR is an empty string, the return value is a list of one-character strings: split( QString( "" ), "four" ) returns the four-item list, "f", "o", "u", "r".
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fIallowEmptyEntries\fR is TRUE, a null string is inserted in the list wherever the separator matches twice without intervening text.
|
|
.PP
|
|

|
|
.SH "QStringList QStringList::split ( const QChar & sep, const QString & str, bool allowEmptyEntries = FALSE )\fC [static]\fR"
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
