NAME

       XmStringParseText  —  A  function  that  converts  a character string to a compound string
       "XmStringParseText" "compound string functions" "XmStringParseText"

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
       conversion  proceeds  according to the parse information contained in parse_table. See the
       Motif Programmer's Guide for more information about parsing and parse tables.

          ·  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.

          ·  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.
