string handling</title><prolog><metadata><keywords></keywords></metadata></prolog><conbody>
<p>The Symbian platform provides support for loading and formatting
resource strings through the StringLoader class.
To use this class, you must define your strings in the resource file with
the <parmname>RESOURCE TBUF</parmname> statement.</p>
<p>The syntax for the resource string declaration is as follows:</p>
<codeblock xml:space="preserve" id="GUID-04157BE9-A433-44BB-94B1-F6D32FF51163">RESOURCE TBUF r_name34 { buf = STRING_value_in_rls_file; }</codeblock>
<p>where</p>
<ul>
<li><p><parmname>RESOURCE</parmname> is the keyword for the statement</p>
</li>
<li><p><parmname>TBUF</parmname> is a utility structure to contain
the string</p></li>
<li><p><parmname>r_name34</parmname> is the symbolic ID used in
your code</p></li>
<li><p><parmname>STRING_value_in_rls_file</parmname> maps to a value
in an <parmname>rls</parmname> file to support <xref href="GUID-9EA7B72B-8394-48B8-A0CC-4BB34CBDB01C.dita">localization
and internationalization</xref></p></li>
</ul>
