name="details" /><hr /><h2>Detailed Description</h2><p>A Python list of Python string or unicode objects or
<a href="qstring.html">QString</a> instances
may be used whenever a
<a href="qstringlist.html">QStringList</a>
is expected.</p>
<p>The QStringList class provides a list of strings.</p>
<p>QStringList inherits from <a href="qlist.html">QList</a><<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>>. Like <a href="qlist.html">QList</a>, QStringList is <a href="implicit-sharing.html#implicitly-shared">implicitly shared</a>. It provides fast index-based access as well as fast insertions and removals. Passing string lists as value parameters is both fast and safe.</p>
<p>All of <a href="qlist.html">QList</a>'s functionality also applies to QStringList. For example, you can use <a href="qlist.html#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>() to test whether the list is empty, and you can call functions like <a href="qlist.html#append">append</a>(), <a href="qlist.html#prepend">prepend</a>(), <a href="qlist.html#insert">insert</a>(), <a href="qlist.html#replace">replace</a>(), <a href="qlist.html#removeAll">removeAll</a>(), <a href="qlist.html#removeAt">removeAt</a>(), <a href="qlist.html#removeFirst">removeFirst</a>(), <a href="qlist.html#removeLast">removeLast</a>(), and <a href="qlist.html#removeOne">removeOne</a>() to modify a QStringList. In addition, QStringList provides a few convenience functions that make handling lists of strings easier:</p>
<ul><li><a href="#adding-strings">Adding strings</a></li>
<li><a href="#iterating-over-the-strings">Iterating over the strings</a></li>
<li><a href="#manipulating-the-strings">Manipulating the strings</a></li>
</ul>
<a name="adding-strings" />
<h3>Adding strings</h3>
<p>Strings can be added to a list using the <a href="qlist.html#append">append()</a>, <a href="qlist.html#operator-2b-eq">operator+=</a>() and <a href="qstringlist.html#operator-lt-lt">operator<<</a>() functions. For example:</p>
<pre> QStringList fonts;
fonts << "Arial" << "Helvetica" << "Times" << "Courier";</pre>
<a name="iterating-over-the-strings" />
<h3>Iterating over the strings</h3>
<p>To iterate over a list, you can either use index positions or <a href="qlist.html">QList</a>'s Java-style and STL-style iterator types:</p>
<p>Indexing:</p>
<pre> for (int i = 0; i < fonts.size(); ++i)
cout << fonts.at(i).toLocal8Bit().constData() << endl;</pre>
<p>Java-style iterator:</p>
<pre> QStringListIterator javaStyleIterator(fonts);
while (javaStyleIterator.hasNext())
cout << javaStyleIterator.next().toLocal8Bit().constData() << endl;</pre>
<p>STL-style iterator:</p>
<pre> QStringList.const_iterator constIterator;
for (constIterator = fonts.constBegin(); constIterator != fonts.constEnd();
++constIterator)
cout << (*constIterator).toLocal8Bit().constData() << endl;</pre>
<p>The <a href="qstringlist.html#QStringListIterator-typedef">QStringListIterator</a> class is simply a type definition for <a href="qlistiterator.html">QListIterator</a><<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>>. QStringList also provide the <a href="qstringlist.html#QMutableStringListIterator-typedef">QMutableStringListIterator</a> class which is a type definition for <a href="qmutablelistiterator.html">QMutableListIterator</a><<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>>.</p>
<a name="manipulating-the-strings" />
<h3>Manipulating the strings</h3>
<p>QStringList provides several functions allowing you to manipulate the contents of a list. You can concatenate all the strings in a string list into a single string (with an optional separator) using the <a href="qstringlist.html#join">join</a>() function. For example:</p>
<pre> QString str = fonts.join(",");
<span class="comment">// str == "Arial,Helvetica,Times,Courier"</span></pre>
<p>To break up a string into a string list, use the <a href="qstring.html#split">QString.split</a>() function:</p>
<pre> QStringList list;
list = str.split(",");
<span class="comment">// list: ["Arial", "Helvetica", "Times", "Courier"]</span></pre>
<p>The argument to split can be a single character, a string, or a <a href="qregexp.html">QRegExp</a>.</p>
<p>In addition, the <a href="qstringlist.html#operator-2b">operator+</a>() function allows you to concatenate two string lists into one. To sort a string list, use the <a href="qstringlist.html#sort">sort</a>() function.</p>
<p><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> list also provides the <a href="qstringlist.html#filter">filter</a>() function which lets you to extract a new list which contains only those strings which contain a particular substring (or match a particular regular expression):</p>
<pre> QStringList monospacedFonts = fonts.filter(QRegExp("Courier|Fixed"));</pre>
<p>The <a href="qstringlist.html#contains">contains</a>() function tells you whether the list contains a given string, while the <a href="qstringlist.html#indexOf">indexOf</a>() function returns the index of the first occurrence of the given string. The <a href="qstringlist.html#lastIndexOf">lastIndexOf</a>() function on the other hand, returns the index of the last occurrence of the string.</p>
<p>Finally, the <a href="qstringlist.html#replaceInStrings">replaceInStrings</a>() function calls <a href="qstring.html#replace">QString.replace</a>() on each string in the string list in turn. For example:</p>
<pre> QStringList files;
files << "$QTDIR/src/moc/moc.y"
<< "$QTDIR/src/moc/moc.l"
<< "$QTDIR/include/qconfig.h";
files.replaceInStrings("$QTDIR", "/usr/lib/qt");
<span class="comment">// files: [ "/usr/lib/qt/src/moc/moc.y", ...]</span></pre>

<hr /><h2>Method Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="QStringList" />QStringList.__init__ (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Constructs an empty string list.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="QStringList-2" />QStringList.__init__ (<i>self</i>, QString)</h3><p>Constructs a string list that contains the given string, <i>str</i>. Longer lists are easily created like this:</p>
<pre> QStringList longerList = (QStringList() << str1 << str2 << str3);</pre>
<p>See also <a href="qlist.html#append">append</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="QStringList-3" />QStringList.__init__ (<i>self</i>, QStringList)</h3><p>Constructs a copy of the <i>other</i> string list.</p>
<p>This operation takes <a href="containers.html#constant-time">constant time</a> because <a href="qstringlist.html">QStringList</a> is <a href="implicit-sharing.html#implicitly-shared">implicitly shared</a>, making the process of returning a <a href="qstringlist.html">QStringList</a> from a function very fast. If a shared instance is modified, it will be copied (copy-on-write), and that takes <a href="containers.html#linear-time">linear time</a>.</p>

<p>Sorting is performed using Qt's <a href="qtalgorithms.html#qSort">qSort</a>() algorithm, which operates in <a href="containers.html#linear-logarithmic-time">linear-logarithmic time</a>, i.e. O(<i>n</i> log <i>n</i>).</p>
<p>If you want to sort your strings in an arbitrary order, consider using the <a href="qmap.html">QMap</a> class. For example, you could use a <a href="qmap.html">QMap</a><<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>, <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>> to create a case-insensitive ordering (e.g. with the keys being lower-case versions of the strings, and the values being the strings), or a <a href="qmap.html">QMap</a><int, <a href="qstring.html">QString</a>> to sort the strings by some integer index.</p>
