String handling macros | Helix Documentation

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; and to Harlequin MultiRIP but not Harlequin Core

The following macros have been defined for use in string operations:

`PLGFWSTR_TC_VALID(tc)`	This macro, applied to a `PlgFwTextCharacter` , tests it for validity. The macro returns `TRUE` if valid, or `FALSE` if the character is invalid.
`PLGFWSTR_TC_ESCAPED(tc)`	This macro, applied to a `PlgFwTextCharacter` , tests whether or not the character is an encoded multiple byte value. The macro returns `TRUE` if it is an encoded multiple byte character, or `FALSE` if the character is a single‐byte value or invalid.
`PLGFWSTR_TEXTSTRING(pbz)`	This macro will mark and cast C‐string constants which are to be translated.
`PLGFWSTR_TEXTSTRINGA(stringConstant)`	This macro is a special version of `PLGFWSTR_TEXTSTRING` for initializing in‐line arrays.
