SBSTRING(3iv)

💖 SbString(3IV) — bestie, it's the smart string class 💖

Okay so this is SbString(3IV), the manual page for SbString — and no cap, it's kind of a baddie. 🎀 It's the class for smart character strings, from the Inventor toolkit situation. Let's get into it.

SbString

yes bestie, it inherits from itself. the lore is wild. don't think about it too hard, just vibe. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Strings. But like… smart strings. 🧚✨ They come with a whole bunch of convenience methods that make string manipulation way easier, so you're not out here fighting raw char * like it's 1994. This is giving main character energy for text. 👑

👑 METHODS 👑

• SbString()
• SbString(const char *str)
• SbString(const char *str, int start, int end)
• SbString(const SbString &str)
• SbString(int digitString)
• ~SbString()

Constructors and destructor, bestie. 🫶 The constructors take a character string, or a subset of a character string from start to end (inclusive, okay, both ends, periodt), or an integer that gets turned into a string. So like, SbString(1234) creates the string "1234". And SbString("Testing",1,3) creates the string "est". Obsessed, honestly. 🔥

• uint32_t hash() — Returns a reasonable hash key for string. 💅
• int getLength() const — Returns length of string. That's it, that's the whole thing. 📏
• void makeEmpty(SbBool freeOld = TRUE) — Sets string to be the empty string (""). If freeOld is TRUE (which is the default, fyi), any old storage is freed up. Let it go, babe. 🦋
• const char * getString() const — Returns pointer to the character string. 📌
• SbString getSubString(int startChar, int endChar = -1) const — Returns a new string representing the sub-string from startChar to endChar, inclusive. If endChar is -1 (the default), the sub-string from startChar until the end is returned. Chef's kiss. 😘
• void deleteSubString(int startChar, int endChar = -1) — Deletes the characters from startChar to endChar, inclusive, from the string. If endChar is -1 (the default), all characters from startChar until the end are deleted. Gone, reduced to atoms. 💀
• SbString & operator =(const char *str)
• SbString & operator =(const SbString &str)

Assignment operators for character string, SbString. ✍️

• SbString & operator +=(const char *str)
• SbString & operator +=(const SbString &str)

Concatenation operators "+=" for string, SbString. Gluing vibes together. 🫶

• int operator !() const — Unary "not" operator; returns TRUE if string is empty (""). 🌙
• int operator ==(const char *s, const SbString &str)
• int operator ==(const SbString &str, const char *s)
• int operator ==(const SbString &str1, const SbString &str2)

Equality operator for SbString/char* and SbString/SbString comparison. Are they the same? Say it back. 💅

• int operator !=(const char *s, const SbString &str)
• int operator !=(const SbString &str, const char *s)
• int operator !=(const SbString &str1, const SbString &str2)

Inequality operator for SbString/char* and SbString/SbString comparison. Not the same, and we're being normal about it. 🙈

And that's the whole page, bestie! This was SbString(3IV), the SbString manual page from the 3IV manual section — and that cute little SbString(3IV)() footer line at the bottom? That's just this same page signing off on itself, which is honestly such a Leo move. 💅✨ Anyway, go manipulate some strings. Slay. 👑
