NAME
XmStringToXmStringTable — A convenience function that converts a single
compound string to a table of compound strings
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
Cardinal XmStringToXmStringTable(
XmString string,
XmString break_component,
XmStringTable *table);
DESCRIPTION
XmStringToXmStringTable takes as input a single compound string and a
specified string component (such as a tab) and returns a table of
compound strings consisting of portions of string delimited by
components matching break_component. The components marking breaks will
not appear in the resulting table.
string Specifies the XmString to be converted.
break_component
Specifies the XmStringComponent that will be used to indicate
where to split string to form the individual elements of
table. The most useful types will be
XmSTRING_COMPONENT_SEPARATOR and XmSTRING_COMPONENT_TAB.
Refer to the XmStringComponentType(3) reference page for a
complete list of possible component types. Note, however,
that the XmSTRING_COMPONENT_UNKNOWN component is not a
possible type.
table Returns the equivalent XmStringTable. The function will
allocate space to hold the returned XmStringTable. When the
applicaiton no longer needs the returned XmStringTable, the
application should call XmStringFree once for each compound
string in the table, and then calling XtFree to deallocate
the XmStringTable itself.
RETURN
Returns the number of compound strings in table.
