String Functions Header File Readme
-----------------------------------
String Functions Header File contains a set of good string manipulation
functions in a much simpler way to include and call in NSIS scripts.
How to use
----------
Basic Syntax
------------
Parameters are specified in this format:
required (required) (option1 | option2) [optional or add. options]
[option1 | option2]
The stars in command titles (*****) are the function usefulness in my
opinion. The more starts, the more useful it is. 5 stars (*****) is the
most useful.
Any time when is mentioned "Default is" means that you can use the value
mentioned or keep it blank, the result is the same.
If you want a certain value (e.g. a text) to be language-specific, set a
language string (using LangString) and define $(STRINGNAME) as value.
If you want to add ` to a string, you should always escape it using $\`
because the header file macro functions use ` to separate parameters.
1. Include Header file
----------------------
!include "StrFunc.nsh"
StrFunc.nsh is inside the Include directory, so you don't have to
specify a path.
You have to put this command before any command used in this header file.
2. Defines
----------
This header file contains defines that automate the life of some who
fear a lot of changes sometimes imposed in this header file, or who have
applications that put it to work at maximum capacity. Before you try
these, take a look at the information below:
- Every item on a define value is separated by a "|", and every subitem
(items in an item) is separated by " ".
- Use ${StrTok} $var "${DefineName}" "|" "$counter" "0" to get every
item inside the define. For subitems, use ${StrTok} $var2 "$var" " "
"$counter2" "0" after getting the value for a desired item.
- ${StrFunc_List} is automatically made by the header file. The rest
is manually added to the header.
2.1 Defines List:
-----------------
StrFunc_List - Lists all function names currently available on StrFunc
header file.
*_List - Lists all parameter names currently available for "*"
function. (* = function name - i.e. StrTok_List).
*_TypeList - Lists the types of all parameters on "*" function.
(* = function name - i.e. StrTok_List). Possible types
for each parameter:
- Output - Needs a variable to output a function result.
- Text - Needs text or number to be input.
- Mixed - Needs text, number or option to be input.
Each subitem following the "Mixed" word is an
option. The first option is ever the default
one. Two following spaces " " means that
that subitem is empty.
- Option - Needs an option to be input. Each subitem
following the "Option" word is an option.
The first option is ever the default one. Two
following spaces " " means that that subitem
is empty.
3. Commands
-----------
Some commands have special specifications to work. Consult command's
documentation on "3.3 Commands" section.
3.1 How To Use Commands In Install Sections and Functions
---------------------------------------------------------
Every command used in install sections and functions have to be declared
before (and outside of) any sections and functions, and without
parameters.
Example:
--------
${UsingStrFunc} StrStr
3.2 How To Use Commands In Uninstall Sections and Functions
-----------------------------------------------------------
Commands for uninstall sections and functions have "Un" before
the name.
Example:
--------
${UsingStrFunc} UnStrStr
A complete example with both Install and Uninstall Commands:
------------------------------------------------------------
!include "StrFunc.nsh"
${UsingStrFunc} StrStr # Supportable for Install Sections and Functions
${UsingStrFunc} UnStrStr # Supportable for Uninstall Sections and Functions
Section
${StrStr} $0 "OK! Now what?" "wh"
SectionEnd
Section Uninstall
${UnStrStr} $0 "OK! Now what?" "wh"
SectionEnd

1.07 - 09/21/2004
- Removed ${UnStrFunc} command. Now you can just include uninstall
functions commands like ${UnStrStr} to be supported by uninstall functions
and sections.
- Added case-sensitive comparison option for StrStrAdv.
- StrCase now uses System.dll which makes case conversions effective with
all latin letters (i.e. ê).
- Added switch case and original case for StrCase.

reduced.
1.06 - 03/26/2004

StrCase when $R5 variable was used.
1.05 - 03/17/2004

- Added documentation.
- Renamed header file to "StrFunc.nsh".
- Added 1 function, StrLoc.
