Detailed Description

use this class to manage strings where the character encoding must be specified and may be different than the actual encoding in the string

this class calls QoreString::convertEncoding() if necessary and manages any temporary string created by this call. the destructor will delete any temporary string if necessary. Note that the constructor may add Qore-language exception information to the "xsink" parameter in case character set encoding conversion was necessary and failed

See also
QoreString
// ensure a string is in UTF-8 encoding
TempEncodingHelper utf8_str(str, QCS_UTF8, xsink);
if (!str) // !str is only true if an exception has been thrown in the conversion
return 0;
printf("%s\n", utf8_str->getBuffer());

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TempEncodingHelper() [1/2]

DLLLOCAL TempEncodingHelper::TempEncodingHelper ( const QoreString s,
const QoreEncoding qe,
ExceptionSink xsink 
)
inline

converts the given string to the required encoding if necessary

Parameters
sa reference to the QoreString input value
qethe QoreEncoding required
xsinkif an error occurs, the Qore-language exception information will be added here

◆ TempEncodingHelper() [2/2]

DLLLOCAL TempEncodingHelper::TempEncodingHelper ( const QoreString s,
const QoreEncoding qe,
ExceptionSink xsink 
)
inline

converts the given string to the required encoding if necessary

Parameters
sa pointer to the QoreString input value
qethe QoreEncoding required
xsinkif an error occurs, the Qore-language exception information will be added here

Member Function Documentation

◆ giveBuffer()

DLLLOCAL char* TempEncodingHelper::giveBuffer ( )
inline

returns a char pointer of the string, the caller owns the pointer returned (it must be manually freed)

Returns
a char pointer of the string, the caller owns the pointer returned

◆ operator bool()

DLLLOCAL TempEncodingHelper::operator bool ( ) const
inline

returns false if the object is empty (for example, if a Qore-language exception was thrown in the constructor), true if not

Returns
false if the object is empty, true if not

◆ removeBom()

DLLEXPORT void TempEncodingHelper::removeBom ( )

remove any leading byte order marker (BOM) from UTF-16* strings

Since
Qore 0.8.13

◆ set()

DLLLOCAL int TempEncodingHelper::set ( const QoreString s,
const QoreEncoding qe,
ExceptionSink xsink 
)
inline

discards any current state and sets and converts (if necessary) a new string to the desired encoding

note that the return value is the opposite of most qore functions because it was implemented incorrectly; the documentation has been changed to reflect the incorrect implementation; the implementation was not fixed in order to preserve source compatibility

Parameters
sa pointer to the QoreString input value
qethe QoreEncoding required
xsinkif an error occurs, the Qore-language exception information will be added here
Returns
1=OK, 0=an error occurred and a Qore-language exception was raised
