Detailed Description

Abstract base class for simple word macro substitutors.

Use this instead of the functions in the KMacroExpander namespace if speculatively pre-filling the substitution map would be too expensive.

A typical application:

 class MyClass {
 ...
   private:
     QString m_str;
 ...
   friend class MyExpander;
 };

 class MyExpander : public KWordMacroExpander {
   public:
     MyExpander( MyClass *_that ) : KWordMacroExpander(), that( _that ) {}
   protected:
     virtual bool expandMacro( const QString &str, QStringList &ret );
   private:
     MyClass *that;
 };

 bool MyExpander::expandMacro( const QString &str, QStringList &ret )
 {
   if (str == "macro") {
     ret += complexOperation( that->m_str );
     return true;
   }
   return false;
 }

 ... MyClass::...(...)
 {
   QString str;
   ...
   MyExpander mx( this );
   mx.expandMacrosShellQuote( str );
   ...
 }

Alternatively MyClass could inherit from KWordMacroExpander directly.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KWordMacroExpander::KWordMacroExpander ( QChar  c = '%'  )  [inline]

Constructor.

Parameters:
c escape char indicating start of macros, or QChar::null for none

Definition at line 198 of file kmacroexpander.h.


Member Function Documentation

int KWordMacroExpander::expandEscapedMacro ( const QString &  str,
uint  pos,
QStringList &  ret 
) [protected, virtual]

This function is called every time the escape char is found if it is not QChar::null.

It should determine whether the string starting at pos witin str is a valid macro and return the substitution value for it if so.

Parameters:
str the input string
pos the offset within str. Note that this is the position of the occurrence of the escape char
ret return value: the string to substitute for the macro
Returns:
if greater than zero, the number of chars at pos in str to substitute with ret (i.e., a valid macro was found). if less than zero, subtract this value from pos (to skip a macro, i.e., substitute it with itself). zero requests no special action.

Reimplemented from KMacroExpanderBase.

Definition at line 469 of file kmacroexpander.cpp.

virtual bool KWordMacroExpander::expandMacro ( const QString &  str,
QStringList &  ret 
) [protected, pure virtual]

Return substitution list ret for string macro str.

Parameters:
str the macro to expand
ret return variable reference. It is guaranteed to be empty when expandMacro is entered.
Returns:
true iff chr was a recognized macro name

int KWordMacroExpander::expandPlainMacro ( const QString &  str,
uint  pos,
QStringList &  ret 
) [protected, virtual]

This function is called for every single char within the string if the escape char is QChar::null.

It should determine whether the string starting at pos within str is a valid macro and return the substitution value for it if so.

Parameters:
str the input string
pos the offset within str
ret return value: the string to substitute for the macro
Returns:
if greater than zero, the number of chars at pos in str to substitute with ret (i.e., a valid macro was found). if less than zero, subtract this value from pos (to skip a macro, i.e., substitute it with itself). zero requests no special action.

Reimplemented from KMacroExpanderBase.
