KWordMacroExpander Class Reference

from PyKDE4.kdecore import *

Inherits: KMacroExpanderBase

Detailed Description

\class KWordMacroExpander kmacroexpander.h <KMacroExpanderBase>

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.

Method Documentation

__init__ (  self,
QChar  c=QLatin1Char('%')
)

Constructor.

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

__init__ (  self,
KWordMacroExpander  other
)
int expandEscapedMacro (  self,
QString  str,
int  pos,
QStringList  ret
)

Internal:
Not to be called or reimplemented.

bool expandMacro (  self,
QString  str,
QStringList  ret
)
Abstract method:
This method is abstract and can be overridden but not called directly.

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 expandPlainMacro (  self,
QString  str,
int  pos,
QStringList  ret
)

Internal:
Not to be called or reimplemented.
