<h4 class="subsection">A.1.3 Character Strings in Oct-Files</h4>
<p>A character string in Octave is just a special <code>Array</code> class.
Consider the example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="verbatim">#include <octave/oct.h>
DEFUN_DLD (stringdemo, args, , "String Demo")
{
octave_value_list retval;
int nargin = args.length ();
if (nargin != 1)
print_usage ();
else
{
charMatrix ch = args(0).char_matrix_value ();
if (! error_state)
{
retval(1) = octave_value (ch, '\''); // Single Quote String
octave_idx_type nr = ch.rows ();
for (octave_idx_type i = 0; i < nr / 2; i++)
{
std::string tmp = ch.row_as_string (i);
ch.insert (ch.row_as_string (nr-i-1).c_str (), i, 0);
ch.insert (tmp.c_str (), nr-i-1, 0);
}
retval(0) = octave_value (ch, '"'); // Double Quote String
}
}
return retval;
}
</pre><pre class="example">
</pre></div>
<p>An example of the use of this function is
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">s0 = ["First String"; "Second String"];
[s1,s2] = stringdemo (s0)
⇒ s1 = Second String
First String
⇒ s2 = First String
Second String
typeinfo (s2)
⇒ sq_string
typeinfo (s1)
⇒ string
</pre></div>
<p>One additional complication of strings in Octave is the difference
between single quoted and double quoted strings. To find out if an
<code>octave_value</code> contains a single or double quoted string use
one of the predicate tests shown below.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">if (args(0).is_sq_string ())
octave_stdout << "First argument is a single quoted string\n";
else if (args(0).is_dq_string ())
octave_stdout << "First argument is a double quoted string\n";
</pre></div>
<p>Note, however, that both types of strings are represented by the
<code>charNDArray</code> type, and so when assigning to an
<code>octave_value</code>, the type of string should be specified. For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">octave_value_list retval;
charNDArray ch;
…
// Create single quoted string
retval(1) = octave_value (ch); // default constructor is sq_string
OR
retval(1) = octave_value (ch, '\''); // explicitly create sq_string
// Create a double quoted string
retval(0) = octave_value (ch, '"');
</pre></div>
