Member Function Documentation

Compares this string view with UTF-16 string view str, Latin-1 string view l1, or the character ch, respectively. Returns a negative integer if this string is less than str, l1 or ch, returns a positive integer if it is greater than str, l1 or ch, and zero if they are equal.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (the default), the search is case-sensitive; otherwise the search is case-insensitive.

See also operator==(), operator<(), and operator>().

Returns true if this Latin-1 string view starts with the UTF-16 string viewed by str, the Latin-1 string viewed by l1, or the character ch, respectively; otherwise returns false.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (the default), the search is case-sensitive; otherwise the search is case-insensitive.

See also endsWith().

Returns true if this Latin-1 string view ends with the UTF-16 string viewed str, the Latin-1 string viewed by l1, or the character ch, respectively; otherwise returns false.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (the default), the search is case-sensitive; otherwise the search is case-insensitive.

See also startsWith().

Returns the index position in this Latin-1 string view of the first occurrence of the UTF-16 string viewed by str, the Latin-1 string viewed by l1, or the character ch, respectively, searching forward from index position from. Returns -1 if str, l1 or c is not found, respectively.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (the default), the search is case-sensitive; otherwise the search is case-insensitive.

If from is -1, the search starts at the last character; if it is -2, at the next to last character and so on.

See also QString::indexOf().

Returns true if this Latin-1 string view contains an occurrence of the UTF-16 string viewed by str, the Latin-1 string viewed by l1, or the character ch, respectively; otherwise returns false.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (the default), the search is case-sensitive; otherwise the search is case-insensitive.

See also indexOf(), QStringView::contains(), QStringView::indexOf(), and QString::indexOf().

Returns the index position in this Latin-1 string view of the last occurrence of the UTF-16 string viewed by str, the Latin-1 string viewed by l1, or the character ch, respectively, searching backward from index position from; returns -1 if str, l1 or ch is not found, respectively.

If from is -1, the search starts at the last character; if it is -2, at the next to last character and so on.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (the default), the search is case-sensitive; otherwise the search is case-insensitive.

See also indexOf(), QStringView::lastIndexOf(), QStringView::indexOf(), and QString::indexOf().

This function overloads lastIndexOf().

Returns the index position in this Latin-1 string view of the last occurrence of the UTF-16 string viewed by str or the Latin-1 string viewed by l1, respectively. Returns -1 if str or l1 is not found, respectively.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (the default), the search is case-sensitive; otherwise the search is case-insensitive.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.2.

Returns the number of (potentially overlapping) occurrences of the UTF-16 string viewed by str, the Latin-1 string viewed by l1, or the character ch, respectively, in this string view.

If cs is Qt::CaseSensitive (the default), the search is case-sensitive; otherwise the search is case-insensitive.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.4.

See also contains() and indexOf().

Returns this QLatin1StringView converted to a corresponding numeric value using base base, which is ten by default. Bases 0 and 2 through 36 are supported, using letters for digits beyond 9; A is ten, B is eleven and so on.

If base is 0, the base is determined automatically using the following rules (in this order), if the Latin-1 string view begins with:

• "0x", the rest of it is read as hexadecimal (base 16)
• "0b", the rest of it is read as binary (base 2)
• "0", the rest of it is read as octal (base 8)
• otherwise it is read as decimal

Returns 0 if the conversion fails.

If ok is not nullptr, failure is reported by setting *ok to false, and success by setting *ok to true.

This function ignores leading and trailing spacing characters.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.4.

Returns this QLatin1StringView converted to a corresponding floating-point value.

Returns an infinity if the conversion overflows or 0.0 if the conversion fails for other reasons (e.g. underflow).

If ok is not nullptr, failure is reported by setting *ok to false, and success by setting *ok to true.

This function ignores leading and trailing spacing characters.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.4.

template <typename... Args> QString QLatin1StringView::arg(Args &&... args) const

Replaces occurrences of %N in this string with the corresponding argument from args. The arguments are not positional: the first of the args replaces the %N with the lowest N (all of them), the second of the args the %N with the next-lowest N etc.

Args can consist of anything that implicitly converts to QString, QStringView or QLatin1StringView.

In addition, the following types are also supported: QChar, QLatin1Char.

See also QString::arg().

[constexpr noexcept(...), since 6.0] template <typename Needle, typename... Flags> auto QLatin1StringView::tokenize(Needle &&sep, Flags... flags) const

Splits the string into substring views wherever sep occurs, and returns a lazy sequence of those strings.

Equivalent to

 return QStringTokenizer{std::forward<Needle>(sep), flags...};

except it works without C++17 Class Template Argument Deduction (CTAD) enabled in the compiler.

See QStringTokenizer for how sep and flags interact to form the result.

 QStringTokenizer result = sv.tokenize(sep);

(without template arguments). If you can't use C++17 CTAD, you must store the return value only in auto variables:

 auto result = sv.tokenize(sep);

This is because the template arguments of QStringTokenizer have a very subtle dependency on the specific tokenize() overload from which they are returned, and they don't usually correspond to the type used for the separator.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.0.

See also QStringTokenizer and qTokenize().

[constexpr noexcept] QLatin1StringView::QLatin1StringView()

Constructs a QLatin1StringView object that stores a nullptr.

See also data(), isEmpty(), isNull(), and Distinction Between Null and Empty Strings.

[explicit constexpr noexcept, since 6.3] QLatin1StringView::QLatin1StringView(QByteArrayView str)

Constructs a QLatin1StringView object as a view on str.

The string data is not copied. The caller must be able to guarantee that the data which str is pointing to will not be deleted or modified as long as the QLatin1StringView object exists. The size is obtained from str as-is, without checking for a null-terminator.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.3.

See also latin1().

[explicit noexcept] QLatin1StringView::QLatin1StringView(const QByteArray &str)

Constructs a QLatin1StringView object as a view on str.

See also latin1().

[explicit constexpr noexcept] QLatin1StringView::QLatin1StringView(const char *str)

Constructs a QLatin1StringView object that stores str.

[constexpr] QLatin1StringView::QLatin1StringView(const char *first, const char *last)

Constructs a QLatin1StringView object that stores first with length (last - first).

The range [first,last) must remain valid for the lifetime of this Latin-1 string object.

Passing nullptr as first is safe if last is nullptr, too, and results in a null Latin-1 string.

The behavior is undefined if last precedes first, first is nullptr and last is not, or if last - first > INT_MAX.

[constexpr noexcept] QLatin1StringView::QLatin1StringView(const char *str, qsizetype size)
