The TQStrList class provides a doubly-linked list of char*.
<p>
<p> If you want a string list of <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>s use <a href="ntqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a>.
<p> This class is a <a href="ntqptrlist.html">TQPtrList</a><char> instance (a list of char*).
<p> TQStrList can make deep or shallow copies of the strings that are
inserted.
<p> A <a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a> means that memory is allocated for the string and then
the string data is copied into that memory. A <a href="shclass.html#shallow-copy">shallow copy</a> is just
a copy of the pointer value and not of the string data itself.
<p> The disadvantage of shallow copies is that because a pointer can
be deleted only once, the program must put all strings in a
central place and know when it is safe to delete them (i.e. when
the strings are no longer referenced by other parts of the
program). This can make the program more complex. The advantage of
shallow copies is that they consume far less memory than deep
copies. It is also much faster to copy a pointer (typically 4 or 8
bytes) than to copy string data.
<p> A TQStrList that operates on deep copies will, by default, turn on
auto-deletion (see <a href="ntqptrcollection.html#setAutoDelete">setAutoDelete</a>()). Thus, by default TQStrList
will deallocate any string copies it allocates.
<p> The virtual <a href="ntqptrlist.html#compareItems">compareItems</a>() function is reimplemented and does a
case-sensitive string comparison. The <a href="ntqptrlist.html#inSort">inSort</a>() function will
insert strings in sorted order. In general it is fastest to insert
the strings as they come and <a href="ntqptrlist.html#sort">sort</a>() at the end; inSort() is useful
when you just have to add a few extra strings to an already sorted
list.
<p> The <a href="qstrlistiterator.html">TQStrListIterator</a> class is an iterator for TQStrList.
<p>See also <a href="collection.html">Collection Classes</a>, <a href="text.html">Text Related Classes</a>, and <a href="tools.html">Non-GUI Classes</a>.
<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQStrList"></a>TQStrList::TQStrList ( bool deepCopies = TRUE )
</h3>
<p> Constructs an empty list of strings. Will make deep copies of all
inserted strings if <em>deepCopies</em> is TRUE, or use shallow copies
if <em>deepCopies</em> is FALSE.
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQStrList-2"></a>TQStrList::TQStrList ( const <a href="ntqstrlist.html">TQStrList</a> & list )
</h3>
<p> Constructs a copy of <em>list</em>.
<p> If <em>list</em> has deep copies, this list will also get deep copies.
Only the pointers are copied (shallow copy) if the other list does
not use deep copies.
<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQStrList"></a>TQStrList::~TQStrList ()
</h3>
<p> Destroys the list. All strings are removed.
<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqstrlist.html">TQStrList</a> & <a name="operator-eq"></a>TQStrList::operator= ( const <a href="ntqstrlist.html">TQStrList</a> & list )
</h3>
<p> Assigns <em>list</em> to this list and returns a reference to this list.
<p> If <em>list</em> has deep copies, this list will also get deep copies.
Only the pointers are copied (shallow copy) if the other list does
not use deep copies.
