RWCString
asString(const struct tm* tmbuf,const char* format,
const RWZone& zone) const;
Converts components of the struct tm object to a string, according to the format string.
Each format character in the format string must be preceded by %. Any characters not
preceded by % are treated as ordinary characters which are returned unchanged. You may
represent the special character % with "%%". The meanings assigned to the format
character are identical to those used in the Standard C Library function strftime(). The
members of struct tm are assumed to be set consistently. See for a summary of strftime()
formatting characters. This function is not virtual in order to maintain link-compatibility
with the previous version of the library.
virtual RWCString
moneyAsString(double value,enum CurrSymbol = LOCAL)
const = 0;
Returns a string containing the value argument formatted according to monetary
conventions for the locale. The value argument is assumed to contain an integer
representing the number of units of currency (e.g., moneyAsString(1000.,
RWLocale::LOCAL) in a US locale would yield "$10.00"). The CurrSymbol argument
determines whether the local (e.g., "$") or international (e.g., "USD ") currency symbol is
applied, or none.
virtual int
monthIndex(const RWCString&) const = 0;
Interprets its argument as a full or abbreviated month name, returning values 1 through
12 to represent (respectively) January through December, or 0 for an error. Leading white
space is ignored.
virtual RWBoolean
stringToNum(const RWCString&, double* fp) const = 0;
Interprets the RWCString argument as a floating point number. Spaces are allowed before
and after the (optional) sign, and at the end. Digit group separators are allowed in the
integer portion. Returns TRUE for a valid number, FALSE for an error. If it returns
FALSE, the double* argument is untouched. All valid numeric strings are accepted; all
others are rejected. The following are examples of valid numeric strings in an
English-speaking locale:
"1" " -02. " ".3"
"1234.56" "1e10" "+ 19,876.2E+20"
virtual RWBoolean
stringToNum(const RWCString&, long* ip) const = 0;
Interprets the RWCString argument as an integer. Spaces are allowed before and after the
