ExtractStrings function

In unit Classes

Split a string in different words.

Declaration

pascal

function ExtractStrings(Separators: TSysCharSet; 
 WhiteSpace: TSysCharSet; Content: PAnsiChar; 
 Strings: TStrings; 
 AddEmptyStrings: Boolean=False): Integer

Description

ExtractStrings splits Content (a null-terminated string) into words, and adds the words to the Strings stringlist. The words are separated by Separators and any characters in whitespace are stripped from the strings. The space and CR/LF characters are always considered whitespace.

Errors

No length checking is performed on Content. If no null-termination character is present, an access violation may occur. Likewise, if Strings is not valid, an access violation may occur.
