It's official: I code better at night.

[Red Squirrel]

I just wrote a string vector manipulation function where I pass a vector of strings and then it returns a new vector with only the strings where the start/end match what I specify, with option of specifying if they should be truncated.

So say I pass this list:

test.Add("start_data1_end");
test.Add("more data1");
test.Add("start_this2");
test.Add("data3");
test.Add("tstart_hat4");
test.Add("data5");
test.Add("start_this3_end");


I specify start_ and _end as the parameters the end result should be:

start_data1_end
start_this3_end


If I choose to truncate then it's this:

data1
this3


I compiled, it works first shot. O_o

I'm really loving this late night shift, enabling me to go to bed late.



For those curious this is the function:

Code: Select all

	xVector<string> Parser::FilterIn(xVector<string> data,string start,string end,bool truncate)
	{
		xVector<string> ret;
		
		string tmp;
		bool markasgood;
		
		for(int i=0;data.Get(tmp,i);i++)
		{
			markasgood=false;
			
			if((start.size()<=0 || tmp.find(start,0)==0) && (end.size()<=0 || tmp.find(end,tmp.size()-end.size())!=string::npos))
			{
				markasgood=true;
				
				if(truncate)
				{
					tmp = DeleteOne(tmp,start,0,1);
					tmp = DeleteOne(tmp,end,tmp.size()-end.size(),tmp.size());			
				}			
			}
			
			if(markasgood)ret.Add(tmp);		
		}
		return ret;
	}

I love vectors. They are the best data storage type ever! Even better than hashtables in most cases.

Oh God....hashtables. Certainly brings back some bitter memories.

They can be rather useful but what I normally end up doing is just put a custom type inside a vector instead, sometimes even make a container class to store it in.
