String processing methods

This section describes the ITLocale methods for processing strings.

The MConcatenate method
This method appends multibyte character string s2 to the end of multibyte character string s1. If the two strings overlap, the results are undefined.
The MScan method
This method searches for the first occurrence of the multibyte character mchar in the multibyte character string s.
The MCopy method
This method copies the multibyte character string from to the location pointed to by to. If from and to overlap, the results of the method are undefined.
The MComplSpanSize method
This method returns the number of characters in the longest initial substring of multibyte character string s1 that consists entirely of multibyte characters not in the string s2.
The MLength method
This method returns the number of characters (not bytes) in the multibyte character string s, not including the null terminator, if there is one.
The MFindSubstr method
This method searches for the first occurrence of the multibyte string s2 in the multibyte string s1.
The MNConcatenate method
This method appends one or more multibyte characters in the from multibyte string to the end of the multibyte string to. If from and to overlap, the results of this method are undefined.
The MNCopy method
This method copies the specified number of multibyte characters in from to the location pointed to by to.
The MNTSBytes method
This method returns the number of bytes in the multibyte character string s, not including any trailing space characters. The characters not included in the count are the ASCII space character and any multibyte characters equivalent to the ASCII space character.
The MNTSLength method
This method returns the number of characters in the multibyte character string s, not including any trailing space characters.
The MSpan method
This method searches for the first occurrence in the multibyte character string s1 of any character from the multibyte character string s2.
The MRScan method
This method locates the last occurrence of multibyte character c in the multibyte character string s.
The MSpanSize method
This method returns the number of characters in the longest initial substring of multibyte character string s1 that consists entirely of multibyte characters in the string s2.
The WConcatenate method
This method appends a copy of the wide character string from to the end of the wide character string to. If from and to overlap, the results of this method are undefined.
The WScan method
This method locates the first occurrence of wide character c in the wide character string s.
The WCopy method
This method copies the wide character string from to the location pointed to by to. If the strings overlap, the result is undefined.
The WComplSpanSize method
The WLength method
This method returns the number of wide characters in the wide character string s, not including the null terminator, if there is one. No errors are defined for this method.
The WNConcatenate method
This method appends wide character string from to the end of wide character string to. If from and to overlap, the results of this method are undefined.
The WNCopy method
This method copies wide character string from to the location pointed to by to. If from and to overlap, the results of this method are undefined.
The WNTSLength method
This method returns the number of characters in the wide character string s, not including any trailing space characters.
The WSpan method
This method searches for the first occurrence in the wide character string s1 of any wide character from the string s2.
The WRScan method
This method locates the last occurrence of wide character c in the wide character string s.
The WSpanSize method
This method returns the number of characters in the longest initial substring of the wide character string s1 that consists entirely of characters from the wide character string s2.
The WFindSubstr method
This method searches for the first occurrence of the wide character string s2 in the wide character string s1.
