PrintString

Arduino library to print to a String.

Description

PrintString is a class that buffers a number of print statements in a String. This String can be requested to process later.

buffer slowly generated data, and send it with minimum time between bytes e.g. to maximize packets for Ethernet.
print to buffer to see how many chars the output is; use to prevent "display line overflow" (e.g. floats)

https://github.com/RobTillaart/PrintCharArray captures data in a char array buffer.
https://github.com/RobTillaart/PrintSize counts length of a number of print commands.

Interface

#include "PrintString.h"

PrintString() constructor.
size_t write(uint8_t c) workhorse I of Print interface.
size_t write(uint8_t * str, uint8_t length) workhorse II of Print interface.
void clear() wipes the internal String buffer
int size() current usage of the buffer.
String getString() to access the buffer.

Operational

See examples.

Future

Must

documentation

Should

keep in sync with PrintCharArray class
testing
examples
- add new ones
- rename examples
add functions like repeat(char c) to inject e.g. 7 spaces etc.
add error flag
