Example: StreamWriter basic usage
FileOutputStream os("log.txt");
StreamWriter sw(os, "UTF-8");
sw.print("Lorem ipsum.\n");
sw.printf("%s: %d\n", "The answer", 42);
sw.print("32-bit int values:\n");
sw.writei4(1337);

Member Function Documentation

◆ constructor()

Qore::StreamWriter::constructor ( Qore::OutputStream  os,
*string  encoding 
)

Creates the StreamWriter for writing data to the given OutputStream.

Parameters
osthe OutputStream for writing data
encodingcharacter encoding of the StreamWriter; all passed string data will be converted to this encoding before being written to the output stream; if not present, the default character encoding is assumed

◆ f_printf()

nothing Qore::StreamWriter::f_printf ( string  fmt,
  ... 
)

Writes a formatted string with hard field widths to an output stream; string data is converted to the StreamWriter's character encoding if necessary before writing.

This method does not allow arguments to overrun field width specifiers in the format string.

Example:
sw.f_printf("%5s\n", "hello there"); # outputs "hello\n", enforcing field width
Parameters
fmtthe format string; see String Formatting for more information about the format string
Exceptions
ENCODING-CONVERSION-ERRORerror converting from the string's character encoding to the StreamWriter's character encoding
See also
StreamWriter::printf() for a similar method that does not enforce field widths

◆ f_vprintf()

nothing Qore::StreamWriter::f_vprintf ( string  fmt,
any  fmt_args 
)

Writes a formatted string with hard field widths to an output stream, where the second argument is the formatting argument list; string data is converted to the StreamWriter's character encoding if necessary before writing.

This method does not allow arguments to overrun field width specifiers in the format string.

Example:
sw.f_vprintf("%5s: %d\n", ("hello there", 2)); # outputs "hello: 2\n", enforcing field width
Parameters
fmtthe format string; see String Formatting for more information about the format string
fmt_argsthe single argument or list of arguments that will be used as the argument list for the format string. If a single argument is passed instead of a list, it will be used as the first argument as if a list were passed
Exceptions
ENCODING-CONVERSION-ERRORerror converting from the string's character encoding to the StreamWriter's character encoding
See also
StreamWriter::printf() for a similar method that does not enforce field widths

◆ getEncoding()

string Qore::StreamWriter::getEncoding ( )

Returns the character encoding for the StreamWriter.

Code Flags:
CONSTANT

Returns the character encoding for the StreamWriter.

Returns
the character encoding for the StreamWriter

◆ getOutputStream()

OutputStream Qore::StreamWriter::getOutputStream ( )

Returns the OutputStream for the StreamWriter.

Returns the OutputStream for the StreamWriter.

Returns
the OutputStream for the StreamWriter
Since
0.9.0

◆ print()

nothing Qore::StreamWriter::print ( string  str)

Writes string data to an output stream; string data is converted to the StreamWriter's character encoding if necessary before writing.

Example:
sw.print(str);
Parameters
strthe string to be written to the output stream; string data is converted to the StreamWriter's character encoding if necessary before writing
Exceptions
ENCODING-CONVERSION-ERRORerror converting from the string's character encoding to the StreamWriter's character encoding
Note
equivalent to write(string)

◆ printf()

nothing Qore::StreamWriter::printf ( string  fmt,
  ... 
)

Writes a formatted string with soft field widths to an output stream; string data is converted to the StreamWriter's character encoding if necessary before writing.

This method will allow arguments to overrun field width specifiers in the format string.

Example:
sw.printf("%5s\n", "hello there"); # outputs "hello there\n", exceeding field width
Parameters
fmtthe format string; see String Formatting for more information about the format string
Exceptions
ENCODING-CONVERSION-ERRORerror converting from the string's character encoding to the StreamWriter's character encoding
See also
StreamWriter::f_printf() for a similar method that enforces field widths

◆ vprintf()

nothing Qore::StreamWriter::vprintf ( string  fmt,
any  fmt_args 
)

Writes a formatted string with soft field widths to an output stream, where the second argument is the formatting argument list; string data is converted to the StreamWriter's character encoding if necessary before writing.

This method will allow arguments to overrun field width specifiers in the format string.

Example:
sw.vprintf("%5s: %d\n", ("hello there", 2)); # outputs "hello there: 2\n", exceeding field width
Parameters
fmtthe format string; see String Formatting for more information about the format string
fmt_argsthe single argument or list of arguments that will be used as the argument list for the format string. If a single argument is passed instead of a list, it will be used as the first argument as if a list were passed
Exceptions
ENCODING-CONVERSION-ERRORerror converting from the string's character encoding to the StreamWriter's character encoding
