Implementation details

Get current string type
odaba::StringTypes TypedString :: stringType ( )

The function returns the current string type for the typed string.

Change string type
odaba::StringTypes TypedString :: stringType ( odaba::StringTypes eStringType )

The function allows changing the string type. Supported string types area OIFString, XMLString, CSVString or ESDFString. When the typed string contains data, the string is converted automatically into the format passed in eStringType.

Note, that converting a TypedString into a CSVString '|' is used as field separator. That differs from exporting instances in CSV format from Property or ObjectSpace, where ';' is used as field separator.
