1.  Overview
============

The sample program in this directory demonstrates the use of the wide character
string functions.  XPG4 provides a whole set of replacement functions for the
string functions found in <string.h>, but for wide characters.  Functions are
provided for copying, appending, scanning, substringing, tokenizing, getting
the length, and others.


2.  Files in this directory
===========================

File            Purpose
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
wstr.c          Source code for the wstr sample program.
wstr.def        Definition file needed for compiling the program.
wstr.mak        Make file used to compile the sample.
wstr.exe        Compiled version of the wstr sample.

build.cmd       A command file which will compile and link the sample program.
read.me         This file.


3.  How to run the sample program
=================================

The following steps show how the program can be run.

     1) Run the \i18n\bin\new_vars command file (or have the environment
        variables already set).

     2) Set the value of either LC_ALL or LANG to: En_US (US English).

          Ex:   set LANG=En_US

     3) Execute the wstr.exe program.

          Ex:   wstr

     4) The output from the program should be:

          Copy and concat functions:
          --------------------------
          Original string: This is a wchar_t string.
          Length of the string is: 25
          Add to end of the string: This is a wchar_t string.  Add this on the
           end!
          Copy the first 6 characters of the string: This i
          Concat 13 characters on the end: This iis an added s

          Compare functions:
          ------------------
          Are the two strings the same? No
          Are the first 10 characters of the two strings the same? Yes

          Scanning functions:
          -------------------
          Using the string: This is string 1.
          First occurance of 's' is: s is string 1.
          First occurance of ' is' is:  is string 1.
          Last occurance of: 's' is: string 1.
          Scan: 'This is string 1.' for first occurance of: 'stuv': 's
           is string 1.'

          Substring length functions:
          ---------------------------
          The first 5 characters of "cabbage" are found in "abc"
          The first 2 characters of "cabbage" are not found in "bde"

          Tokenizing functions:
          ---------------------
          Tokenizing: 'This line has spaces,commas,and periods.!' based on: ' '
          Token: This
          Token: line
          Token: has
          Token: spaces
          Token: commas
          Token: and
          Token: periods
          Token: !


4.  How to compile the sample program
=====================================

NOTE: The sample program is already compiled for you.  If you want to see the
 behavior of the program, you can just run it.  The following instructions
 are needed only if you want to modify the program and recompile it.

To compile the sample application:

     1) Make sure that the CSET/2 compiler and OS/2 toolkit are installed
        correctly on your system.

     2) cd to the directory which contains the info source files.

     3) Type "build" at the command prompt.
