# KCharMacroExpander Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.kdecore import *`

Inherits: KMacroExpanderBase

## Detailed Description

\class KCharMacroExpander kmacroexpander.h <KMacroExpanderBase>

Abstract base class for single char macro substitutors. Use this instead of the functions in the KMacroExpander namespace if speculatively pre-filling the substitution map would be too expensive.

See KWordMacroExpander for a sample application.

## Methods

| __init__ (self, QChar c=QLatin1Char('%'))
| __init__ (self, KCharMacroExpander other)
int | expandEscapedMacro (self, QString str, int pos, QStringList ret)
bool | expandMacro (self, QChar chr, QStringList ret)
int | expandPlainMacro (self, QString str, int pos, QStringList ret)

## Method Documentation

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QChar | c=QLatin1Char('%')
| ) |  |  |

Constructor.

Parameters:

  | c | escape char indicating start of macros, or QChar.null for none

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | KCharMacroExpander | other
| ) |  |  |

int expandEscapedMacro | ( | self, |
|  | QString | str,
|  | int | pos,
|  | QStringList | ret
| ) |  |  |

Internal:
  Not to be called or reimplemented.

bool expandMacro | ( | self, |
|  | QChar | chr,
|  | QStringList | ret
| ) |  |  |

Abstract method:
  This method is abstract and can be overridden but not called directly.

Return substitution list ret for single-character macro chr.

Parameters:

  | chr | the macro to expand
  | ret | return variable reference. It is guaranteed to be empty when expandMacro is entered.

Returns:
  true iff chr was a recognized macro name

int expandPlainMacro | ( | self, |
|  | QString | str,
|  | int | pos,
|  | QStringList | ret
| ) |  |  |

Internal:
  Not to be called or reimplemented.
