xmstringunparse

XmStringUnparse(library call)											     XmStringUnparse(library call)

NAME

       XmStringUnparse -- A compound string function that unparses text

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       XtPointer XmStringUnparse(
       XmString string,
       XmStringTag tag,
       XmTextType tag_type,
       XmTextType output_type,
       XmParseTable parse_table,
       Cardinal parse_count,
       XmParseModel parse_model);

DESCRIPTION

       XmStringUnparse looks in the input string for text segments that are tagged with locale or charset tags that match tag. The tag_type param-
       eter specifies whether the tag is a locale or charset type.  If tag has a value of NULL, all the segments are matched. When a text  segment
       is found with a matching tag, it is added to the end of a resulting string. The characters in the resulting string are of type output_type.

       XmStringUnparse also checks string for components that match components in parse_table, and also to see if the component matches the condi-
       tion specified by parse_model. If the string component matches in both checks, then the associated character is added to  the  end  of  the
       resulting string.

       string	 Specifies the XmString to be converted.

       tag	 Specifies  the tag to be used in matching with text segments. Only text segments that match tag will be included in the resulting
		 string. If tag has a value of NULL, all segments are considered as matches, and tag_type is ignored.

       tag_type  Specifies the type of tag to be searched for, including XmMULTIBYTE_TEXT, XmWIDECHAR_TEXT, and XmCHARSET_TEXT.

       output_type
		 Specifies the type of text to be returned in the string, including XmMULTIBYTE_TEXT, XmWIDECHAR_TEXT, and XmCHARSET_TEXT.

       parse_table
		 Specifies the parse table to be used in scanning for compound string components to be converted to other characters.

       parse_count
		 Specifies how many entries are in parse_table.

       parse_model
		 Specifies which non-text components to be considered in matching in parse_table. These include:

		 XmOUTPUT_ALL
			   Puts out all matching components.

		 XmOUTPUT_BETWEEN
			   Puts out only those matching components that are between two matching text components.

		 XmOUTPUT_BEGINNING
			   Puts out only those matching components that are at the beginning of a matching text component.

		 XmOUTPUT_END
			   Puts out only those matching components that are at the end of a matching text component.

		 XmOUTPUT_BOTH
			   Puts out only those matching components that are at the beginning or end of a matching text component.

RETURN

       Returns a newly allocated string containing characters of a type determined by output_type.  The application is	responsible  for  managing
       this allocated space.  The application can recover this allocated space by calling XtFree.
