NAME

       XmParseTable — Data type for a compound string parse table

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

DESCRIPTION

       XmParseTable  is  the data type for an array of parse mappings (objects
       of type XmParseMapping).

       A parse table is used by some routines that parse and unparse  compound
       strings.   The  table  is an ordered list of parse mappings.  A parsing
       routine that uses a parse table scans the input text and  searches  the
       parse mappings, in order, for one containing a pattern that matches the
       input text.  The matching parse mapping supplies a compound  string  to
       be included in the compound string under construction.

       An  unparsing  routine  that  uses  a  parse  table  searches the parse
       mappings, in order, for one containing a compound string  that  matches
       the  input compound string.  The unparsing routine can then include the
       parse mapping’s text pattern in the output text under construction.
