#include "llstring.h"

// Use this class to store translated text that may have arguments
// e.g. "Welcome [USERNAME] to [SECONDLIFE]!"

// Adding or changing an argument will update the result string, preserving the origianl
// Thus, subsequent changes to arguments or even the original string will produce
//  the correct result

// Example Usage:
// LLUIString mMessage("Welcome [USERNAME] to [SECONDLIFE]!");
// mMessage.setArg("[USERNAME]", "Steve");
// mMessage.setArg("[SECONDLIFE]", "Second Life");
// llinfos << mMessage.getString() << llendl; // outputs "Welcome Steve to Second Life"
// mMessage.setArg("[USERNAME]", "Joe");
// llinfos << mMessage.getString() << llendl; // outputs "Welcome Joe to Second Life"
// mMessage = "Bienvenido a la [SECONDLIFE] [USERNAME]"
// mMessage.setArg("[SECONDLIFE]", "Segunda Vida");
// llinfos << mMessage.getString() << llendl; // outputs "Bienvenido a la Segunda Vida Joe"

// Implementation Notes:
// Attempting to have operator[](const std::string& s) return mArgs[s] fails because we have
// to call format() after the assignment happens.
