Detailed Description

A namespace for tools for manipulation and validation of user input strings.

Warning

The functions contained in this namespace are not designed for efficiency. If you intend to use them more frequently than for just a few user inputs, think twice.

Function Documentation

bool parsetools::isValidIP

(

const std::string &

ip

)

Checks whether a given string represents a valid IP(v4).

(Internally, inet_pton is called and checked for its return code.)

Parameters

ip	The string to be checked.

Returns

true, if the input string represents a valid IPv4 IP.

bool parsetools::isValidPort

(

const std::string &

port

)

Checks whether a given string represents a valid user port number.

The well-known ports (0-1023) are considered to be invalid, so valid port numbers range from 1024 to 65535.

Parameters

port	The string to be checked.

Returns

true, if the input string represents a number between 1024 and 65535.

std::vector< const std::string > parsetools::splitString	(	const std::string &	s,
		char	delim
	)

Splits a string around the matches of a given delimiter char.

Parameters

s	The string to be split.
delim	The delimiter used for splitting.

Returns

A vector containing the resulting substrings.
