API string functions

This page lists all the functions to manipulate Scilab native objects containing strings

scilabVar scilab_createStringMatrix( scilabEnv env, int dim, const int* dims)

Create a string matrix with dim dimensions (dims[0], dims[1], ..., dims[dim-1]).

scilabVar scilab_createStringMatrix2d( scilabEnv env, int row, int col)

Create an string matrix with 2 dimensions (row, col).

scilabVar scilab_createString( scilabEnv env, const wchar_t* val)

Create a scalar string.

scilabStatus scilab_getStringArray( scilabEnv env, scilabVar var, wchar_t*** strs)

Get pointer on internal array of string of var.

scilabStatus scilab_getString( scilabEnv env, scilabVar var, wchar_t** str)

Get string value from an scalar string variable.

scilabStatus scilab_setStringArray( scilabEnv env, scilabVar var, const wchar_t* const* strs)

Set values of string variable var.

scilabStatus scilab_setString( scilabEnv env, scilabVar var, const wchar_t* str)

Set value of a scalar string variable var.
