How to pass file name list as a function parameter!? Topic is solved

[tomay3000]

Hello,
I am writing a Zip compress and extract utility, and I need to pass file name list as a function parameter,
So, should I use:

Code: Select all

std::vector<wxString>& vstrFileNames // Correct me here about the reference passing if I am wrong.

Or:

Code: Select all

std::vector<wxFileName>& vstrFileNames // Correct me here about the reference passing if I am wrong.

Or: there exists already a class I am missing!?

TIA.

Why are you want to use reference and not value type? You can share vector via wxSharedPtr<> instead or not share anything at all.

I need a list of wxString or wxFileName to be passed as a function parameter.

Hi,
The strings vector seems much easier.
Also, depending on the scenario you might use const vector...

Thank you.

Thank you.

I completely forgot about const, also there are situations where I need to convert from a wxArrayString to an std::vector and vice versa, so are there any predefined helper macros to do this I am missing! or should I implement it myself?

TIA.

Both class provide iterators so you can use them to create another container.

I just figured it out:

Code: Select all

std::vector<wxString> vStrFileNames;
wxArrayString arrStrFileNames;

for (wxArrayString::const_iterator it = arrStrFileNames.begin(); it != arrStrFileNames.end(); ++it)
    vStrFileNames.push_back(*it);

Thank you.

I mean something more straightforward:

Code: Select all

	wxArrayString  arrStrFileNames;
	arrStrFileNames.assign(vStrFileNames.begin(), vStrFileNames.end());//from std::vector<>

	std::vector<wxString> vec(arrStrFileNames.begin(), arrStrFileNames.end());//from wxArrayString

I completely missed that.

Thank you again.
