TFormat< TChar >::Escape Struct Reference

Description:

template<typename TChar>
struct alib::strings::TFormat< TChar >::Escape

Implements a temporary object which is appended to instances of type AString.

Escapes non-printable characters in the given region, or reversely converts such escaped characters to their ASCII values.

The characters converted are '\\', '\r', '\n', '\t', '\a', '\b', '\v', '\f', '\e' and '"'.

If the new region length is needed to be known, it can be calculated as the sum of the old region length and the difference of the string's length before and after the operation.
