Function Documentation

dblToStringWithUnits()

QString dblToStringWithUnits

(

double

value

)

returns the value converted to string, with units (K, M, G, T, P) applied for every 10³ factor over 1000

greatestCommonPrefix()

QString greatestCommonPrefix	(	QString const &	str1,
		QString const &	str2
	)

greatestCommonPrefixLength()

int greatestCommonPrefixLength	(	QString const &	str1,
		QString const &	str2
	)

Find the (length of the) greatest common prefix of the two given strings.

example: str1 ="BaseMethod", str2="BaseMember" => result: "BaseMe"

greatestCommonSuffix()

QString greatestCommonSuffix	(	QString const &	str1,
		QString const &	str2
	)

greatestCommonSuffixLength()

int greatestCommonSuffixLength	(	QString const &	str1,
		QString const &	str2
	)

padOrTruncate()

QString padOrTruncate	(	QString const &	str,
		int	size
	)

Pads or truncates the given string to the given size.

If the string given in name is longer than the specified size, the string is truncated to size-2 and ".." is appended, otherwise it is filled with spaces to be exactly size long

Parameters

str	the string to be padded or truncated
size	the size that the return string should have

Returns

a string of exactly the given size, padded or truncated from the given name

quoteString()

QString quoteString

(

QString const &

str

)

splitPossiblyQuotedString()

QStringList splitPossiblyQuotedString

(

QString const &

str

)

split a string at the space characters, while correctly treating quoted elements

Example: the string '"a rabbit" and "a horse"' would be split into three elements: "a rabbit", "and", "a horse" (the quotes are stripped from the elements). Note that only the double-quote character is considered as a quote by this function.

Parameters

str	the string to split

Returns

a list of strings split up at the whitespaces

stripHTML()

QString stripHTML

(

QString const &

html

)

strip HTML tags from the given string

Parameters

html	a string potentially containing HTML tags

Returns

the input string with all HTML tags (<xyz>, </xyz>, <xyz/>) removed
