public final class NSStringCompareOptions
extends java.lang.Object

These options apply to the various search/find and comparison methods (except where noted).

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
static long	AnchoredSearch Search is limited to start (or end, if NSBackwardsSearch) of source string
static long	BackwardsSearch Search from end of source string
static long	CaseInsensitiveSearch
static long	DiacriticInsensitiveSearch If specified, ignores diacritics (o-umlaut == o)
static long	ForcedOrderingSearch If specified, comparisons are forced to return either NSOrderedAscending or NSOrderedDescending if the strings are equivalent but not strictly equal, for stability when sorting (e.g.
static long	LiteralSearch Exact character-by-character equivalence
static long	NumericSearch Added in 10.2; Numbers within strings are compared using numeric value, that is, Foo2.txt < Foo7.txt < Foo25.txt; only applies to compare methods, not find
static long	RegularExpressionSearch Applies to rangeOfString:..., stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:..., and replaceOccurrencesOfString:...
static long	WidthInsensitiveSearch If specified, ignores width differences ('a' == UFF41)

ForcedOrderingSearch

public static final long ForcedOrderingSearch

If specified, comparisons are forced to return either NSOrderedAscending or NSOrderedDescending if the strings are equivalent but not strictly equal, for stability when sorting (e.g. "aaa" > "AAA" with NSCaseInsensitiveSearch specified)

RegularExpressionSearch

public static final long RegularExpressionSearch

Applies to rangeOfString:..., stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:..., and replaceOccurrencesOfString:... methods only; the search string is treated as an ICU-compatible regular expression; if set, no other options can apply except NSCaseInsensitiveSearch and NSAnchoredSearch
