Detailed Description¶

Character data as used in XML specifies a generic data string. More specialized versions of this class are QDomText , QDomComment and QDomCDATASection .

The data string is set with setData() and retrieved with data() . You can retrieve a portion of the data string using substringData() . Extra data can be appended with appendData() , or inserted with insertData() . Portions of the data string can be deleted with deleteData() or replaced with replaceData() . The length of the data string is returned by length() .

The node type of the node containing this character data is returned by nodeType() .

__init__()¶

Constructs an empty character data object.

__init__(characterData)

Parameters:: characterData – QDomCharacterData

Constructs a copy of characterData.

The data of the copy is shared (shallow copy): modifying one node will also change the other. If you want to make a deep copy, use cloneNode() .

appendData(arg)¶

Parameters:: arg – str

Appends the string arg to the stored string.

data()¶

Return type:: str

Returns the string stored in this object.

If the node is a null node , it will return an empty string.

deleteData(offset, count)¶

Parameters:

offset – int
count – int

Deletes a substring of length count from position offset.

insertData(offset, arg)¶

Parameters:

offset – int
arg – str

Inserts the string arg into the stored string at position offset.

length()¶

Return type:: int

Returns the length of the stored string.

replaceData(offset, count, arg)¶

Parameters:

offset – int
count – int
arg – str

Replaces the substring of length count starting at position offset with the string arg.

setData(data)¶

Parameters:: data – str

Sets this object’s string to data.
