Hi Frank, Stephan
Hi Bjoern,
BTW, replacing strings in resources usually means using the tools String
rather than OUString, anyway.
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/resource/OfficeResourceLoader.html
Welcome to the modern world ;)
Nice to have this, however I never used it, and still I have similar
code to yours just using the tools string rather than OUString. (Can the
OfficeResourceLoader using UNO API be used to fill an SfxTabDialog? And
if so, how?)
If OUString::replaceString is const (as suggested), there is no real
difference in usage compared to an external function (only difference
would be passing the string in question as parameter, right? Or did I
miss something?). I would vote for using an external function.
I second Stephan's concerns, that creating a new method at OUString and
later changing it is not a good idea. Having a separate function is the
better approach, because this way you can make clear that the function
is only for resource-string replacement. (You won't want to add a method
to OUString called replaceResourceStringVariable or the like).
I suppose we are not the only people in the world wanting to replace a
string in another string. If we want a well-designed full-featured
facility to robustly replace strings in any situation, I reckon we could
evaluate using some existing library. Of course the library would have
to be flexible enough to adapt it to our somewhat proprietary string
implementations. But I think such a solution might be worth giving a try.
So: either make a simple feasible solution like "just replace a string",
or use an existing library that has already fixed "all the" bugs that
might appear when creating a flexible fail-safe token-based replacement
tool, and write a wrapper around it to offer the same simple usage than
with the other solution.
(Because we want to replace repeated multiple lines of code by simple
one-line code and not make it more fail-safe and add more lines).
