NAME

       XmStringParseText -- A function that converts a character string to a compound string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       XmString XmStringParseText(
       XtPointer text,
       XtPointer *text_end,
       XmStringTag tag,
       XmTextType type,
       XmParseTable parse_table,
       Cardinal parse_count,
       XtPointer call_data);

DESCRIPTION

       XmStringParseText converts characters specified in text to corresponding components in the returned compound string. The resulting compound
       string consists of at least one locale or charset tag component and a series of XmString text components and other components. The  conver-
       sion  proceeds  according  to  the  parse information contained in parse_table. See the Motif Programmer's Guide for more information about
       parsing and parse tables.

	  o  If type is XmCHARSET_TEXT, the associated tag is interpreted as a charset name.  If tag has a value  of  NULL,  a	charset  component
	     whose value is the result of mapping XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG is created.

	  o  If type is XmMULTIBYTE_TEXT or XmWIDECHAR_TEXT, the associated tag is interpreted as a language environment name.	If tag has a value
	     of NULL, a locale component with a value of _MOTIF_DEFAULT_LOCALE is created.  If type is XmMULTIBYTE_TEXT  or  XmWIDECHAR_TEXT,  tag
	     must be NULL or _MOTIF_DEFAULT_LOCALE.

       XmStringParseText  also	scans  the string for characters that have matches in parse_table.  Whenever a match is found, the text up to that
       point is concatenated with the mapped component.

       text	 Specifies the NULL-terminated string containing characters of a type determined by type.  This is updated to point to	after  the
		 last character scanned.

       text_end  Specifies  a pointer into text. If a NULL is supplied to the text_end parameter, then XmStringParseText parses text until NULL is
		 encountered, or until it reaches a point in text where it is directed to stop (for example,  by  a  parse_proc).  Otherwise,  the
		 value supplied to the text_end parameter is the pointer into text where parsing is to stop, and the returned character is the one
		 where parsing did stop.

       tag	 Specifies the tag to be used in creating the result.  The type of string tag created (charset or locale) depends on the text type
		 and  the  passed  in  tag value.  If the tag value is NULL and if type indicates that a charset string tag should be created, the
		 string tag has the value that is the result of mapping XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG.  If type indicates a locale string tag, the string
		 tag has the value _MOTIF_DEFAULT_LOCALE.

       type	 Specifies  the  type of text and the tag type.  If a locale tag should be created, type has a value of either XmMULTIBYTE_TEXT or
		 XmWIDECHAR_TEXT.  If type has value of XmCHARSET_TEXT, a charset tag will be created.

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

       parse_count
		 Specifies the number of entries in parse_table.

       call_data Specifies data to be passed to the parse procedures.

RETURN

       Returns a new compound string.  The function allocates space to hold the returned compound string.  When the application  no  longer  needs
       the returned compound string, the application should call XmStringFree.
