dblToStringWithUnits()

QString dblToStringWithUnits	(	double	value,
		double	switchFactor = 999
	)

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

Parameters

value	the value to convert to a string
switchFactor	the multiple of the "base unit" under which to switch to next lower unit; example: if value = 0.101 and switchFactor is at default 100, the returned string will be "0.1" with the same value and a switchFactor of 102 (or any other value larger than 101), the result will be 101m

digitsAfterComma()

int digitsAfterComma

(

double

resolvableDiff

)

Get the number of digits required after the comma, given the difference to other values it should be distinguishable from.

TODO: introduce "number of relevant digits" parameter / automatic determination? e.g. 9.125 -> 3, 9.98 -> 2, 9.5 -> 1; but what about e.g. 9.995 (->close enough to 10 to discard after comma?) Examples: resolvableDiff result >= 10 0 9.9999 - 1.0 0-1 (0 if resolvableDiff is exactly 1,6,4,... depending on whether resolvableDiff is 1.2,6.323, or ) 0.9999 - 0.1 1-2 (depending on whether resolvableDiff is 0.15,0.22,0.9333,... or exactly 0.1,0.4,...) 0.0999 - 0.01 2-3 0.0099 - 0.001 3-4

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
	)

joinQVariantAsString()

QString joinQVariantAsString	(	QVector< QVariant > const &	vec,
		QString const &	joinStr
	)

joinStdString()

iAbase_API std::string joinStdString	(	std::vector< std::string > &	vec,
		std::string const &	joinStr
	)

join a vector of std::strings into one single string

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

)

requiredDigits()

int requiredDigits

(

double

value

)

Get the number of digits required for the given number (before the comma).

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
