## Detailed Description

Tokenizer.

Tokenizes a buffer. Allows application to set delimiters and preserve designators. Does not allow special characters, yet (e.g., printf ("\"like a quoted string\"")).

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_Tokenizer::ACE_Tokenizer | ( | ACE_TCHAR * | buffer | ) |

| buffer will be parsed. Notice that ACE_Tokenizer will modify buffer if you use `delimiter_replace` or `preserve_designators` to do character substitution. Note: You should NOT pass a constant string or string literal to this constructor, since ACE_Tokenizer will try to modify the string. See also: preserve_designators preserve_designators

## Member Function Documentation

int ACE_Tokenizer::delimiter | ( | ACE_TCHAR | d | ) |

| d is a delimiter. Returns: Returns 0 on success, -1 if there is no memory left. Example:
         char buf[30];
         ACE_OS::strcpy(buf, "William/Joseph/Hagins");

         ACE_Tokenizer tok (buf);
         tok.delimiter ('/');
         for (char *p = tok.next (); p; p = tok.next ())
          cout << p << endl;
This will print out:
         William/Joseph/Hagins
          Joseph/Hagins
          Hagins

int ACE_Tokenizer::delimiter_replace | ( | ACE_TCHAR | d,
|  | ACE_TCHAR | replacement
| ) |

| d is a delimiter and, when found, will be replaced by replacement. Returns: 0 on success, -1 if there is no memory left. Example:
         char buf[30];
         ACE_OS::strcpy(buf, "William/Joseph/Hagins");

         ACE_Tokenizer tok (buf);
         tok.delimiter_replace ('/', 0);
         for (char *p = tok.next (); p; p = tok.next ())
           cout << p << endl;
This will print out:
           William
           Joseph
           Hagins

int ACE_Tokenizer::is_delimiter | ( | ACE_TCHAR | d,
|  | int & | replace,
|  | ACE_TCHAR & | r
| ) | `[protected]`

| Returns 1 if <d> is a delimiter, 0 otherwise. If <d> should be replaced with <r>, <replace> is set to 1, otherwise 0.

int ACE_Tokenizer::is_preserve_designator | ( | ACE_TCHAR | start,
|  | ACE_TCHAR & | stop,
|  | int & | strip
| ) | `[protected]`

| If <start> is a start preserve designator, returns 1 and sets <stop> to the stop designator. Returns 0 if <start> is not a preserve designator.

ACE_TCHAR * ACE_Tokenizer::next | ( | void |  | ) |

| Returns the next token.

int ACE_Tokenizer::preserve_designators | ( | ACE_TCHAR | start,
|  | ACE_TCHAR | stop,
|  | int | strip = `1`
| ) |

| Extract string between a pair of designator characters. For instance, quotes, or '(' and ')'. start specifies the begin designator. stop specifies the end designator. strip If strip == 1, then the preserve designators will be stripped from the tokens returned by next. Returns: 0 on success, -1 if there is no memory left. Example with strip = 0:
         char buf[30];
         ACE_OS::strcpy(buf, "William(Joseph)Hagins");

         ACE_Tokenizer tok (buf);
         tok.preserve_designators ('(', ')', 0);
         for (char *p = tok.next (); p; p = tok.next ())
           cout << p << endl;
This will print out:
          William(Joseph)Hagins
          (Joseph)Hagins
          )Hagins
Example with strip = 1:
         char buf[30];
         ACE_OS::strcpy(buf, "William(Joseph)Hagins");

         ACE_Tokenizer tok (buf);
         tok.preserve_designators ('(', ')', 1);
         for (char *p = tok.next (); p; p = tok.next ())
           cout << p << endl;
This will print out:
          William
          Joseph
          Hagins
