multilineString

C/C++ header files for a simple multiline string concatenator.

"Install"

Just copy the multiLineString.h(pp) file into your project folder and include it like any other file. No libraries needed.

Usage

C++

If you're using C++11 or above, just call multilineString::concat() from multiLineString.hpp and list the strings you want to concatenate. If you're not using C++11 or above, why not?

Each row should be it's own argument, and the output will be a single string with newline characters between all input strings.

Example:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include "multiLineString.hpp"

using namespace multilineString;
using namespace std;

string returnString(){
    return "yoted";
}

int main(){
    string s = concat(  "yeet",
                        "yote",
                        returnString().c_str()
                     );

    cout << s << endl;
    return 0;
}

Output:

./exec
yeet
yote
yoted

Note that this, just like printf(), needs C-strings to work.

C

Pure C needs to be handled a bit differently, unfortunately. Call multilineString::concat() from multiLineString.h, but because C doesn't support calculating the number of variadic arguments automatically when dealing with C-strings, you have to manually tell the function how many arguments there are and what buffer to write to.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "multiLineString.h"

int main(){
    char test[256] = "";
    char getStr[7] = "yoted";
    concat( test, 3,
            "yeet",
            "yote",
            getStr
          );
    printf("%s\n", test);
    return 0;
}

Output:

./exec
yeet
yote
yoted
