Here are Standard, simple, and portable ways to perform common
|
||
transformations on a <code class="code">string</code> instance, such as
|
||
"convert to all upper case." The word transformations
|
||
is especially apt, because the standard template function
|
||
<code class="code">transform<></code> is used.
|
||
</p><p>
|
||
This code will go through some iterations. Here's a simple
|
||
version:
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
#include <string>
|
||
#include <algorithm>
|
||
#include <cctype> // old <ctype.h>
|
||
|
||
struct ToLower
|
||
{
|
||
char operator() (char c) const { return std::tolower(c); }
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
struct ToUpper
|
||
{
|
||
char operator() (char c) const { return std::toupper(c); }
|
||
};
|
||
|
||
int main()
|
||
{
|
||
std::string s ("Some Kind Of Initial Input Goes Here");
|
||
|
||
// Change everything into upper case
|
||
std::transform (s.begin(), s.end(), s.begin(), ToUpper());
|
||
|
||
// Change everything into lower case
|
||
std::transform (s.begin(), s.end(), s.begin(), ToLower());
|
||
|
||
// Change everything back into upper case, but store the
|
||
// result in a different string
|
||
std::string capital_s;
|
||
capital_s.resize(s.size());
|
||
std::transform (s.begin(), s.end(), capital_s.begin(), ToUpper());
|
||
}
|
||
</pre><p>
|
||
<span class="emphasis"><em>Note</em></span> that these calls all
|
||
involve the global C locale through the use of the C functions
|
||
<code class="code">toupper/tolower</code>. This is absolutely guaranteed to work --
|
||
but <span class="emphasis"><em>only</em></span> if the string contains <span class="emphasis"><em>only</em></span> characters
|
||
from the basic source character set, and there are <span class="emphasis"><em>only</em></span>
|
||
96 of those. Which means that not even all English text can be
|
||
represented (certain British spellings, proper names, and so forth).
|
||
So, if all your input forevermore consists of only those 96
|
||
characters (hahahahahaha), then you're done.
|
||
</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Note</em></span> that the
|
||
<code class="code">ToUpper</code> and <code class="code">ToLower</code> function objects
|
||
are needed because <code class="code">toupper</code> and <code class="code">tolower</code>
|
||
are overloaded names (declared in <code class="code"><cctype></code> and
|
||
<code class="code"><locale></code>) so the template-arguments for
|
||
<code class="code">transform<></code> cannot be deduced, as explained in
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2002-11/msg00180.html" target="_top">this
|
||
message</a>.
|
||
|
||
At minimum, you can write short wrappers like
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
char toLower (char c)
|
||
{
|
||
return std::tolower(c);
|
||
} </pre><p>The correct method is to use a facet for a particular locale
|
||
and call its conversion functions. These are discussed more in
|
||
Chapter 22; the specific part is
|
||
<a class="ulink" href="../22_locale/howto.html#7" target="_top">Correct Transformations</a>,
|
||
which shows the final version of this code. (Thanks to James Kanze
|
||
for assistance and suggestions on all of this.)
|
||
</p><p>Another common operation is trimming off excess whitespace. Much
|
||
like transformations, this task is trivial with the use of string's
|
||
<code class="code">find</code> family. These examples are broken into multiple
|
||
statements for readability:
|
||
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
||
std::string str (" \t blah blah blah \n ");
|
||
|
||
// trim leading whitespace
|
||
string::size_type notwhite = str.find_first_not_of(" \t\n");
|
||
str.erase(0,notwhite);
|
||
|
||
// trim trailing whitespace
|
||
notwhite = str.find_last_not_of(" \t\n");
|
||
str.erase(notwhite+1); </pre><p>Obviously, the calls to <code class="code">find</code> could be inserted directly
|
||
into the calls to <code class="code">erase</code>, in case your compiler does not
|
||
optimize named temporaries out of existence.
