Detailed Description

An abstract formatted value: a string with associated field attributes.

Many formatters format to classes implementing FormattedValue.

Member Function Documentation

appendTo()

virtual Appendable& icu::FormattedValue::appendTo ( Appendable &  appendable, UErrorCode &  status  ) const

pure virtual

Appends the formatted string to an Appendable.

Parameters

appendable	The Appendable to which to append the string output.
status	Set if an error occurs.

Returns

The same Appendable, for chaining.

Appendable

Implemented in icu::number::FormattedNumber, icu::number::FormattedNumberRange, icu::FormattedRelativeDateTime, icu::FormattedList, and icu::FormattedDateInterval.

Referenced by icu::FormattedDateInterval::FormattedDateInterval(), and icu::FormattedRelativeDateTime::FormattedRelativeDateTime().

nextPosition()

virtual UBool icu::FormattedValue::nextPosition ( ConstrainedFieldPosition &  cfpos, UErrorCode &  status  ) const

pure virtual

Iterates over field positions in the FormattedValue.

This lets you determine the position of specific types of substrings, like a month or a decimal separator.

To loop over all field positions:

ConstrainedFieldPosition cfpos;
while (fmtval.nextPosition(cfpos, status)) {
    // handle the field position; get information from cfpos
}

Parameters

cfpos	The object used for iteration state. This can provide constraints to iterate over only one specific category or field; see ConstrainedFieldPosition::constrainCategory and ConstrainedFieldPosition::constrainField.
status	Set if an error occurs.

Returns

TRUE if a new occurrence of the field was found; FALSE otherwise or if an error was set.

Referenced by icu::FormattedDateInterval::FormattedDateInterval(), and icu::FormattedRelativeDateTime::FormattedRelativeDateTime().

toString()

virtual UnicodeString icu::FormattedValue::toString ( UErrorCode &  status ) const

pure virtual

Returns the formatted string as a self-contained UnicodeString.

If you need the string within the current scope only, consider toTempString.

Parameters

status

Set if an error occurs.

Returns

a UnicodeString containing the formatted string.

Referenced by icu::FormattedDateInterval::FormattedDateInterval(), and icu::FormattedRelativeDateTime::FormattedRelativeDateTime().

toTempString()

virtual UnicodeString icu::FormattedValue::toTempString ( UErrorCode &  status ) const

pure virtual

Returns the formatted string as a read-only alias to memory owned by the FormattedValue.

The return value is valid only as long as this FormattedValue is present and unchanged in memory. If you need the string outside the current scope, consider toString.

The buffer returned by calling UnicodeString::getBuffer() on the return value is guaranteed to be NUL-terminated.

Parameters

status

Set if an error occurs.

Returns

a temporary UnicodeString containing the formatted string.
