Function Details:

LoadResourcedTokens() [1/2]

void alib::strings::util::LoadResourcedTokens ( camp::Camp & module, const NString & resourceName, strings::util::Token * target, int dbgSizeVerifier, character outerSeparator = ',', character innerSeparator = ' ' )

inline

Shortcut to the sibling function LoadResourcedTokens that accepts a module and uses its resource pool and resource category.

Parameters

module	The ALib Camp to load the resource from.
resourceName	The resource name.
target	The table to fill.
dbgSizeVerifier	This parameter has to be specified only in debug comilations and provides the expected size of the resourced table. To be surrounded by macro ALIB_DBG (not to be given in release-builds.)
outerSeparator	The character that separates the entries. Defaults to ','.
innerSeparator	The character that separates the values of an entry. Defaults to ' ' (space).

Module Dependencies

This method is only available if module ALib Camp is included in the ALib Build.

LoadResourcedTokens() [2/2]

ALIB_DLL void alib::strings::util::LoadResourcedTokens	(	resources::ResourcePool &	resourcePool,
		const NString &	resourceCategory,
		const NString &	resourceName,
		strings::util::Token *	target,
		int	dbgSizeVerifier,
		character	outerSeparator = ',',
		character	innerSeparator = ' ' )

A utility namespace function that defines a table of token objects from external resourced strings.

It is possible to provide the table lines in two ways:

• In one resource string: In this case, parameter outerDelim has to specify the delimiter that separates the records.
• In an array of resource strings: If the resource string as given is not defined, this method appends an integral index starting with 0 to the resource name, parses a single record and increments the index. Parsing ends when the next higher index is not found.

The second option is recommended for larger token sets. While the separation causes some overhead in a resource backend, the external (!) management (translation, manipulation, etc.) is most probably simplified with this approach.

Note

The length of the given table has to fit to the number of entries found in the resource pool. To ensure this, with debug-builds, parameter dbgSizeVerifier has to be provided (preferably by using macro ALIB_DBG(, N)).

Availability

This function is an extension, which is injected by the higher-level module ALib Resources and is accessed through the header file ALib.Resources.H. Furthermore, the module ALib EnumRecords has to be included in the ALib Build.

Parameters

resourcePool	The resource pool to load the resource from.
resourceCategory	The resource category.
resourceName	The resource name.
target	The table to fill.
dbgSizeVerifier	This parameter has to be specified only in debug-builds and provides the expected size of the resourced table. To be surrounded by macro ALIB_DBG (not to be given in release-builds.)
outerSeparator	The character that separates the entries. Defaults to ','.
innerSeparator	The character that separates the values of an entry. Defaults to ' ' (space).

Module Dependencies

This method is only available if the modules ALib Resources and ALib EnumRecords are included in the ALib Build.
