String List Manipulation Module for C02
A string list is a contiguous set of mixed length zero-terminated
strings followed by a zero byte (empty string). For example:
char list = {"one","two","three",0};
A string list can be any length. but each entry must be no more than
the maximum string length of 128 characters long.
The string list functions all make use of the zero-page integer
variable lstptr. Multiple lists can be accessed by saving and restoring
it's value.
Usage: at the beginning of the program use the directives
#include <stddef.h02>
#include <string.h02>
The following functions are defined:
setlst(t); Sets the list pointer to the beginning of the string
list t.
This must be called at least once before calling any
of the following functions.
Note: Stores &t in lstptr.
w = strlln(r); Returns the number of entries in string list r as
an integer.
Note: Calls strlen() and addsra() for each entry in
the list, accumulating the count in temp1 and temp2.
n, p = strget(s); Reads the next entry from a string list set by a
prior setlst() call into string s.
Returns length of the entry and the new position
in the string list. When the end of the list is
reached, s is set to an empty string and any further
calls to strget() will also return an empty string.
Note: Calls setdst(), getlst(), and strcpy(). If n
is not not zero, calls addsra() and updates lstptr.
n, p = strput(s); Writes string s to a string list set by a prior
setlst() call and terminates the string list.
Returns length of the entry and the new position in
the string list.
Note: Calls setsrc(), getlst(), setdst() and
strcpy(). If n is not zero, calls addsra() and
updates lstptr.
Note: This module expects the following functions to be defined
addsra(n); Add accumulator to sorce pointer.
getlst(); Get list pointer
setdst(s); Set destination pointer
setlst(); Set list pointrt
setsrc(s); Set source pointer and initialize index
strcpy(s); String copy alternate entry point.
along with the zero page variable pairs
dstptr Destination String Pointer
lstprt List Pointer
srcptr Source String Pointer
