   These functions are important for efficient manipulation
   of string data, and they have found widespread use in
   leptonica.  For example:
      (1) to generate text files: e.g., PostScript and PDF
          wrappers around sets of images
      (2) to parse text files: e.g., extracting prototypes
          from the source to generate allheaders.h
      (3) to generate code for compilation: e.g., the fast
          dwa code for arbitrary structuring elements.

   Comments on usage:

       The user is responsible for correctly disposing of strings
       that have been extracted from sarrays:
         - When you want a string from an Sarray to inspect it, or
           plan to make a copy of it later, use sarrayGetString()
           with copyflag = 0.  In this case, you must neither free
           the string nor put it directly in another array.
           We provide the copyflag constant L_NOCOPY, which is 0,
           for this purpose:
              str-not-owned = sarrayGetString(sa, index, L_NOCOPY);
           To extract a copy of a string, use:
              str-owned = sarrayGetString(sa, index, L_COPY);

         - When you want to insert a string that is in one
           array into another array (always leaving the first
           array intact), you have two options:
              (1) use copyflag = L_COPY to make an immediate copy,
                  which you must then add to the second array
                  by insertion; namely,
                    str-owned = sarrayGetString(sa, index, L_COPY);
                    sarrayAddString(sa, str-owned, L_INSERT);
              (2) use copyflag = L_NOCOPY to get another handle to
                  the string, in which case you must add
                  a copy of it to the second string array:
                    str-not-owned = sarrayGetString(sa, index, L_NOCOPY);
                    sarrayAddString(sa, str-not-owned, L_COPY).

           In all cases, when you use copyflag = L_COPY to extract
           a string from an array, you must either free it
           or insert it in an array that will be freed later.

FUNCTIONS

convertSortedToNumberedPathnames

SARRAY * convertSortedToNumberedPathnames ( SARRAY *sa, l_int32 numpre, l_int32 numpost, l_int32 maxnum )

convertSortedToNumberedPathnames()

    Input:  sorted pathnames (including zero-padded integers)
            numpre (number of characters in name before number)
            numpost (number of characters in name after the number,
                     up to a dot before an extension)
            maxnum (only consider page numbers up to this value)
    Return: sarray of numbered pathnames, or NULL on error

Notes:
    (1) Typically, numpre = numpost = 0; e.g., when the filename
        just has a number followed by an optional extension.

getFilenamesInDirectory

SARRAY * getFilenamesInDirectory ( const char *dirname )

getFilenamesInDirectory()

    Input:  directory name
    Return: sarray of file names, or NULL on error

Notes:
    (1) The versions compiled under unix and cygwin use the POSIX C
        library commands for handling directories.  For windows,
        there is a separate implementation.
    (2) It returns an array of filename tails; i.e., only the part of
        the path after the last slash.
    (3) Use of the d_type field of dirent is not portable:
        "According to POSIX, the dirent structure contains a field
        char d_name[] of unspecified size, with at most NAME_MAX
        characters preceding the terminating null character.  Use
        of other fields will harm the portability of your programs."
    (4) As a consequence of (3), we note several things:
         - MINGW doesn't have a d_type member.
         - Older versions of gcc (e.g., 2.95.3) return DT_UNKNOWN
           for d_type from all files.
        On these systems, this function will return directories
        (except for '.' and '..', which are eliminated using
        the d_name field).

getNumberedPathnamesInDirectory

SARRAY * getNumberedPathnamesInDirectory ( const char *dirname, const char *substr, l_int32 numpre, l_int32 numpost, l_int32 maxnum )

getNumberedPathnamesInDirectory()

    Input:  directory name
            substr (<optional> substring filter on filenames; can be NULL)
            numpre (number of characters in name before number)
            numpost (number of characters in name after the number,
                     up to a dot before an extension)
            maxnum (only consider page numbers up to this value)
    Return: sarray of numbered pathnames, or NULL on error

Notes:
    (1) Returns the full pathnames of the numbered filenames in
        the directory.  The number in the filename is the index
        into the sarray.  For indices for which there are no filenames,
        an empty string ("") is placed into the sarray.
        This makes reading numbered files very simple.  For example,
        the image whose filename includes number N can be retrieved using
             pixReadIndexed(sa, N);
    (2) If @substr is not NULL, only filenames that contain
        the substring can be included.  If @substr is NULL,
        all matching filenames are used.
    (3) If no numbered files are found, it returns an empty sarray,
        with no initialized strings.
    (4) It is assumed that the page number is contained within
        the basename (the filename without directory or extension).
        @numpre is the number of characters in the basename
        preceeding the actual page number; @numpost is the number
        following the page number, up to either the end of the
        basename or a ".", whichever comes first.
    (5) This is useful when all filenames contain numbers that are
        not necessarily consecutive.  0-padding is not required.
    (6) To use a O(n) matching algorithm, the largest page number
        is found and two internal arrays of this size are created.
        This maximum is constrained not to exceed @maxsum,
        to make sure that an unrealistically large number is not
        accidentally used to determine the array sizes.

getSortedPathnamesInDirectory

SARRAY * getSortedPathnamesInDirectory ( const char *dirname, const char *substr, l_int32 first, l_int32 nfiles )

getSortedPathnamesInDirectory()

    Input:  directory name
            substr (<optional> substring filter on filenames; can be NULL)
            first (0-based)
            nfiles (use 0 for all to the end)
    Return: sarray of sorted pathnames, or NULL on error

Notes:
    (1) Use @substr to filter filenames in the directory.  If
        @substr == NULL, this takes all files.
    (2) The files in the directory, after optional filtering by
        the substring, are lexically sorted in increasing order.
        Use @first and @nfiles to select a contiguous set of files.
    (3) The full pathnames are returned for the requested sequence.
        If no files are found after filtering, returns an empty sarray.

sarrayAddString

l_int32 sarrayAddString ( SARRAY *sa, char *string, l_int32 copyflag )

sarrayAddString()

    Input:  sarray
            string  (string to be added)
            copyflag (L_INSERT, L_COPY)
    Return: 0 if OK, 1 on error

Notes:
    (1) Legacy usage decrees that we always use 0 to insert a string
        directly and 1 to insert a copy of the string.  The
        enums for L_INSERT and L_COPY agree with this convention,
        and will not change in the future.
    (2) See usage comments at the top of this file.

sarrayAppend

l_int32 sarrayAppend ( const char *filename, SARRAY *sa )

sarrayAppend()

    Input:  filename
            sarray
    Return: 0 if OK; 1 on error

sarrayAppendRange

l_int32 sarrayAppendRange ( SARRAY *sa1, SARRAY *sa2, l_int32 start, l_int32 end )

sarrayAppendRange()

    Input:  sa1  (to be added to)
            sa2  (append specified range of strings in sa2 to sa1)
            start (index of first string of sa2 to append)
            end (index of last string of sa2 to append; -1 to end of array)
    Return: 0 if OK, 1 on error

Notes:
    (1) Copies of the strings in sarray2 are added to sarray1.
    (2) The [start ... end] range is truncated if necessary.
    (3) Use end == -1 to append to the end of sa2.

sarrayChangeRefcount

l_int32 sarrayChangeRefcount ( SARRAY *sa, l_int32 delta )

sarrayChangeRefcount()

    Input:  sarray
            delta (change to be applied)
    Return: 0 if OK, 1 on error

sarrayClear

l_int32 sarrayClear ( SARRAY *sa )

sarrayClear()

    Input:  sarray
    Return: 0 if OK; 1 on error

sarrayClone

SARRAY * sarrayClone ( SARRAY *sa )

sarrayClone()

    Input:  sarray
    Return: ptr to same sarray, or null on error

sarrayConcatenate

l_int32 sarrayConcatenate ( SARRAY *sa1, SARRAY *sa2 )

sarrayConcatenate()

    Input:  sa1  (to be added to)
            sa2  (append to sa1)
    Return: 0 if OK, 1 on error

Notes:
    (1) Copies of the strings in sarray2 are added to sarray1.

sarrayConvertWordsToLines

SARRAY * sarrayConvertWordsToLines ( SARRAY *sa, l_int32 linesize )

sarrayConvertWordsToLines()

    Input:  sa  (sa of individual words)
            linesize  (max num of chars in each line)
    Return: saout (sa of formatted lines), or null on error

This is useful for re-typesetting text to a specific maximum
line length.  The individual words in the input sarray
are concatenated into textlines.  An input word string of zero
length is taken to be a paragraph separator.  Each time
such a string is found, the current line is ended and
a new line is also produced that contains just the
string of zero length ("").  When the output sarray
of lines is eventually converted to a string with newlines
(typically) appended to each line string, the empty
strings are just converted to newlines, producing the visible
paragraph separation.

What happens when a word is larger than linesize?
We write it out as a single line anyway!  Words preceding
or following this long word are placed on lines preceding
or following the line with the long word.  Why this choice?
Long "words" found in text documents are typically URLs, and
it's often desirable not to put newlines in the middle of a URL.
The text display program (e.g., text editor) will typically
wrap the long "word" to fit in the window.

sarrayCopy

SARRAY * sarrayCopy ( SARRAY *sa )

sarrayCopy()

    Input:  sarray
    Return: copy of sarray, or null on error

sarrayCreate

SARRAY * sarrayCreate ( l_int32 n )

sarrayCreate()

    Input:  size of string ptr array to be alloc'd
            (use 0 for default)
    Return: sarray, or null on error

sarrayCreateInitialized

SARRAY * sarrayCreateInitialized ( l_int32 n, char *initstr )

sarrayCreateInitialized()

    Input:  n (size of string ptr array to be alloc'd)
            initstr (string to be initialized on the full array)
    Return: sarray, or null on error

sarrayCreateLinesFromString

SARRAY * sarrayCreateLinesFromString ( char *string, l_int32 blankflag )

sarrayCreateLinesFromString()

    Input:  string
            blankflag  (0 to exclude blank lines; 1 to include)
    Return: sarray, or null on error

Notes:
    (1) This finds the number of line substrings, each of which
        ends with a newline, and puts a copy of each substring
        in a new sarray.
    (2) The newline characters are removed from each substring.

sarrayCreateWordsFromString

SARRAY * sarrayCreateWordsFromString ( const char *string )

sarrayCreateWordsFromString()

    Input:  string
    Return: sarray, or null on error

Notes:
    (1) This finds the number of word substrings, creates an sarray
        of this size, and puts copies of each substring into the sarray.

sarrayDestroy

void sarrayDestroy ( SARRAY **psa )

sarrayDestroy()

    Input:  &sarray <to be nulled>
    Return: void

Notes:
    (1) Decrements the ref count and, if 0, destroys the sarray.
    (2) Always nulls the input ptr.

sarrayGetCount

l_int32 sarrayGetCount ( SARRAY *sa )

sarrayGetCount()

    Input:  sarray
    Return: count, or 0 if no strings or on error

sarrayGetRefcount

l_int32 sarrayGetRefcount ( SARRAY *sa )

sarrayGetRefcount()

    Input:  sarray
    Return: refcount, or UNDEF on error

sarrayGetString

char * sarrayGetString ( SARRAY *sa, l_int32 index, l_int32 copyflag )

sarrayGetString()

    Input:  sarray
            index   (to the index-th string)
            copyflag  (L_NOCOPY or L_COPY)
    Return: string, or null on error

Notes:
    (1) Legacy usage decrees that we always use 0 to get the
        pointer to the string itself, and 1 to get a copy of
        the string.
    (2) See usage comments at the top of this file.
    (3) To get a pointer to the string itself, use for copyflag:
           L_NOCOPY or 0 or FALSE
        To get a copy of the string, use for copyflag:
           L_COPY or 1 or TRUE
        The const values of L_NOCOPY and L_COPY are guaranteed not
        to change.

sarrayPadToSameSize

l_int32 sarrayPadToSameSize ( SARRAY *sa1, SARRAY *sa2, char *padstring )

sarrayPadToSameSize()

    Input:  sa1, sa2
            padstring
    Return: 0 if OK, 1 on error

Notes:
    (1) If two sarrays have different size, this adds enough
        instances of @padstring to the smaller so that they are
        the same size.  It is useful when two or more sarrays
        are being sequenced in parallel, and it is necessary to
        find a valid string at each index.

sarrayParseRange

l_int32 sarrayParseRange ( SARRAY *sa, l_int32 start, l_int32 *pactualstart, l_int32 *pend, l_int32 *pnewstart, const char *substr, l_int32 loc )

sarrayParseRange()

    Input:  sa (input sarray)
            start (index to start range search)
           &actualstart (<return> index of actual start; may be > 'start')
           &end (<return> index of end)
           &newstart (<return> index of start of next range)
            substr (substring for matching at beginning of string)
            loc (byte offset within the string for the pattern; use
                 -1 if the location does not matter);
    Return: 0 if valid range found; 1 otherwise

Notes:
    (1) This finds the range of the next set of strings in SA,
        beginning the search at 'start', that does NOT have
        the substring 'substr' either at the indicated location
        in the string or anywhere in the string.  The input
        variable 'loc' is the specified offset within the string;
        use -1 to indicate 'anywhere in the string'.
    (2) Always check the return value to verify that a valid range
        was found.
    (3) If a valid range is not found, the values of actstart,
        end and newstart are all set to the size of sa.
    (4) If this is the last valid range, newstart returns the value n.
        In use, this should be tested before calling the function.
    (5) Usage example.  To find all the valid ranges in a file
        where the invalid lines begin with two dashes, copy each
        line in the file to a string in an sarray, and do:
           start = 0;
           while (!sarrayParseRange(sa, start, &actstart, &end, &start,
                  "--", 0))
               fprintf(stderr, "start = %d, end = %d\n", actstart, end);

sarrayRead

SARRAY * sarrayRead ( const char *filename )

sarrayRead()

    Input:  filename
    Return: sarray, or null on error

sarrayReadStream

SARRAY * sarrayReadStream ( FILE *fp )

sarrayReadStream()

    Input:  stream
    Return: sarray, or null on error

Notes:
    (1) We store the size of each string along with the string.
    (2) This allows a string to have embedded newlines.  By reading
        the entire string, as determined by its size, we are
        not affected by any number of embedded newlines.

sarrayRemoveString

char * sarrayRemoveString ( SARRAY *sa, l_int32 index )

sarrayRemoveString()

    Input:  sarray
            index (of string within sarray)
    Return: removed string, or null on error

sarrayReplaceString

l_int32 sarrayReplaceString ( SARRAY *sa, l_int32 index, char *newstr, l_int32 copyflag )

sarrayReplaceString()

    Input:  sarray
            index (of string within sarray to be replaced)
            newstr (string to replace existing one)
            copyflag (L_INSERT, L_COPY)
    Return: 0 if OK, 1 on error

Notes:
    (1) This destroys an existing string and replaces it with
        the new string or a copy of it.
    (2) By design, an sarray is always compacted, so there are
        never any holes (null ptrs) in the ptr array up to the
        current count.

sarraySelectByRange

SARRAY * sarraySelectByRange ( SARRAY *sain, l_int32 first, l_int32 last )

sarraySelectByRange()

    Input:  sain (input sarray)
            first (index of first string to be selected)
            last (index of last string to be selected; use 0 to go to the
                  end of the sarray)
    Return: saout (output sarray), or null on error

Notes:
    (1) This makes @saout consisting of copies of all strings in @sain
        in the index set [first ... last].  Use @last == 0 to get all
        strings from @first to the last string in the sarray.

sarraySelectBySubstring

SARRAY * sarraySelectBySubstring ( SARRAY *sain, const char *substr )

sarraySelectBySubstring()

    Input:  sain (input sarray)
            substr (<optional> substring for matching; can be NULL)
    Return: saout (output sarray, filtered with substring) or null on error

Notes:
    (1) This selects all strings in sain that have substr as a substring.
        Note that we can't use strncmp() because we're looking for
        a match to the substring anywhere within each filename.
    (2) If substr == NULL, returns a copy of the sarray.

sarraySort

SARRAY * sarraySort ( SARRAY *saout, SARRAY *sain, l_int32 sortorder )

sarraySort()

    Input:  saout (output sarray; can be NULL or equal to sain)
            sain (input sarray)
            sortorder (L_SORT_INCREASING or L_SORT_DECREASING)
    Return: saout (output sarray, sorted by ascii value), or null on error

Notes:
    (1) Set saout = sain for in-place; otherwise, set naout = NULL.
    (2) Shell sort, modified from K&R, 2nd edition, p.62.
        Slow but simple O(n logn) sort.

sarraySortByIndex

SARRAY * sarraySortByIndex ( SARRAY *sain, NUMA *naindex )

sarraySortByIndex()

    Input:  sain
            naindex (na that maps from the new sarray to the input sarray)
    Return: saout (sorted), or null on error

sarraySplitString

l_int32 sarraySplitString ( SARRAY *sa, const char *str, const char *separators )

sarraySplitString()

    Input:  sa (to append to; typically empty initially)
            str (string to split; not changed)
            separators (characters that split input string)
    Return: 0 if OK, 1 on error.

Notes:
    (1) This uses strtokSafe().  See the notes there in utils.c.

sarrayToString

char * sarrayToString ( SARRAY *sa, l_int32 addnlflag )

sarrayToString()

    Input:  sarray
            addnlflag (flag: 0 adds nothing to each substring
                             1 adds '\n' to each substring
                             2 adds ' ' to each substring)
    Return: dest string, or null on error

Notes:
    (1) Concatenates all the strings in the sarray, preserving
        all white space.
    (2) If addnlflag != 0, adds either a '\n' or a ' ' after
        each substring.
    (3) This function was NOT implemented as:
          for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
                   strcat(dest, sarrayGetString(sa, i, L_NOCOPY));
        Do you see why?

sarrayToStringRange

char * sarrayToStringRange ( SARRAY *sa, l_int32 first, l_int32 nstrings, l_int32 addnlflag )

sarrayToStringRange()

    Input: sarray
           first  (index of first string to use; starts with 0)
           nstrings (number of strings to append into the result; use
                     0 to append to the end of the sarray)
           addnlflag (flag: 0 adds nothing to each substring
                            1 adds '\n' to each substring
                            2 adds ' ' to each substring)
    Return: dest string, or null on error

Notes:
    (1) Concatenates the specified strings inthe sarray, preserving
        all white space.
    (2) If addnlflag != 0, adds either a '\n' or a ' ' after
        each substring.
    (3) If the sarray is empty, this returns a string with just
        the character corresponding to @addnlflag.

sarrayWrite

l_int32 sarrayWrite ( const char *filename, SARRAY *sa )

sarrayWrite()

    Input:  filename
            sarray
    Return: 0 if OK; 1 on error

sarrayWriteStream

l_int32 sarrayWriteStream ( FILE *fp, SARRAY *sa )

sarrayWriteStream()

    Input:  stream
            sarray
    Returns 0 if OK; 1 on error

Notes:
    (1) This appends a '\n' to each string, which is stripped
        off by sarrayReadStream().

stringCompareLexical

l_int32 stringCompareLexical ( const char *str1, const char *str2 )

stringCompareLexical()

    Input:  str1
            str2
    Return: 1 if str1 > str2 (lexically); 0 otherwise

Notes:
    (1) If the lexical values are identical, return a 0, to
        indicate that no swapping is required to sort the strings.
