Detailed Description

Utilities for working with and modifying strings.

Function Documentation

Contains()

bool BlamStrings::Utils::String::Contains	(	std::string	string,
		std::string	contains
	)

Determines whether or not a string contains the specified substring.

Parameters

string	- The original string.
contains	- The substring to look for.

Returns

Whether or not the string contains the specified substring.

ContainsChar()

bool BlamStrings::Utils::String::ContainsChar	(	std::string	string,
		char	contains
	)

Determines whether or not a string contains the specified character.

Parameters

string	- The original string.
contains	- The character to look for.

Returns

Whether or not the string contains the specified character.

EndsWith()

bool BlamStrings::Utils::String::EndsWith	(	std::string	string,
		std::string	ends_with,
		bool	case_insensetive
	)

Determines whether or not a string ends with another string, case-sensetive.

Parameters

string	- The original string.
ends_with	- The string to test for.
case_sensetive	- Whether or not the check is case insensetive.

Returns

Whether or not the string ends with the specified suffix.

FixDirectorySeparators()

std::string BlamStrings::Utils::String::FixDirectorySeparators

(

std::string

string

)

Replaces any instance of \\\ in a string with /.

Unneccessary in most cases.

Parameters

string

- The original string.

Returns

The original string with all path separators made uniform.

MemoryStringCompare()

bool BlamStrings::Utils::String::MemoryStringCompare	(	char *	address,
		char *	to_compare,
		int	size
	)

Checks the specified address in memory to see if it matches a given string, ignoring null terminators.

One might be inclined to simply check the memory normally, but all strings are normally null-terminated. In certain cases, it may be useful to check for a specific set of bytes that are known to always contain text of a known length, that will always be followed by more data.

Parameters

address	- Address of the start of the byte data.
to_compare	- The string to check against.
size	- The number of bytes within address to read as a string.

Returns

True if the bytes matched the provided string (w/o null terminator), False if the data didn't match.

Replace()

std::string BlamStrings::Utils::String::Replace	(	std::string	orig,
		std::string	to_replace,
		std::string	replace_with
	)

Replaces part of a string with another string.

Parameters

orig	- The original string.
to_replace	- The substring to replace.
replace_with	- The string to replace any matches of the substring with.

Returns

The original string with any instances of the substring replaced.

Split()

std::vector< std::string > BlamStrings::Utils::String::Split	(	std::string	string,
		std::string	splitter
	)

Splits a string around any instance of a substring.

If string is "Bungie|Is|Cool", and splitter is "|", then the resulting string list would contain the following:

 {["Bungie",}
</blockquote>
 
Similarly, if `string` was still "Bungie|Is|Cool", and `splitter` is set to "|Is|",
the resulting string list would be the following:
<blockquote>
```["Bungie", "Cool"

Parameters

string	- The original string.
splitter	- The string to act as the splitter.

Returns

A list of strings resulting from the split.

StartsWith()

bool BlamStrings::Utils::String::StartsWith	(	std::string	string,
		std::string	starts_with,
		bool	case_insensetive
	)

Determines whether or not a string starts with another string, case-insensetive.

Parameters

string	- The original string.
starts_with	- The string to test for.
case_sensetive	- Whether or not the check is case insensetive.

Returns

Whether or not the string starts with the specified prefix.

ToLower()

std::string BlamStrings::Utils::String::ToLower

(

std::string

string

)

Transforms a string to all-lowercase.

Parameters

string

- The original string.

Returns

The original string with all characters changed to lowercase.

ToUpper()

std::string BlamStrings::Utils::String::ToUpper

(

std::string

string

)

Transforms a string to all-uppercase.

Parameters

string

- The original string.

Returns

The original string with all characters changed to uppercase.
