XmStringToXmStringTable — A convenience function that converts a
single compound string to a table of compound strings
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
Cardinal XmStringToXmStringTable(
XmString string,
XmString break_component,
XmStringTable *table);
XmStringToXmStringTable takes as input a single compound string and a
specified string component (such as a tab) and returns a table of compound
strings consisting of portions of string delimited by components
matching break_component. The components marking breaks will not appear
in the resulting table.
- string
- Specifies the XmString to be converted.
- break_component
- Specifies the XmStringComponent that will be used to indicate where
to split string to form the individual elements of table.
The most useful types will be XmSTRING_COMPONENT_SEPARATOR and
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAB. Refer to the
XmStringComponentType(3) reference page for a complete list of
possible component types. Note, however, that the
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN component is not a possible type.
- table
- Returns the equivalent XmStringTable. The function will allocate
space to hold the returned XmStringTable. When the applicaiton no
longer needs the returned XmStringTable, the application should
call XmStringFree once for each compound string in the table, and
then calling XtFree to deallocate the XmStringTable
itself.
Returns the number of compound strings in table.
