NAME¶

std::wcscspn - std::wcscspn

Synopsis¶

Defined in header <cwchar>
std::size_t wcscspn( const wchar_t* dest, const wchar_t* src );

Returns the length of the maximum initial segment of the wide string pointed to by
dest, that consists of only the characters not found in wide string pointed to by
src.

Parameters¶

dest - pointer to the null-terminated wide string to be analyzed
src - pointer to the null-terminated wide string that contains the characters to
search for

Return value¶

The length of the maximum initial segment that contains only characters not found in
the character string pointed to by src

Example¶

// Run this code

#include <cwchar>
#include <iostream>
#include <locale>

int main()
{
wchar_t dest[] = L"白猫 黑狗 甲虫";
// └───┐
const wchar_t *src = L"甲虫,黑狗";

const std::size_t len = std::wcscspn(dest, src);
dest[len] = L'\0'; // terminates the segment to print it out

std::wcout.imbue(std::locale("en_US.utf8"));
std::wcout << L"The length of maximum initial segment is " << len << L".\n";
std::wcout << L"The segment is \"" << dest << L"\".\n";
}

Possible output:¶

The length of maximum initial segment is 3.
The segment is "白猫 ".
