50 /**
51  * <p>MessageFormat prepares strings for display to users,
52  * with optional arguments (variables/placeholders).
53  * The arguments can occur in any order, which is necessary for translation
54  * into languages with different grammars.
55  *
56  * <p>A MessageFormat is constructed from a <em>pattern</em> string
57  * with arguments in {curly braces} which will be replaced by formatted values.
58  *
59  * <p><code>MessageFormat</code> differs from the other <code>Format</code>
60  * classes in that you create a <code>MessageFormat</code> object with one
61  * of its constructors (not with a <code>createInstance</code> style factory
62  * method). Factory methods aren't necessary because <code>MessageFormat</code>
63  * itself doesn't implement locale-specific behavior. Any locale-specific
64  * behavior is defined by the pattern that you provide and the
65  * subformats used for inserted arguments.
66  *
67  * <p>Arguments can be named (using identifiers) or numbered (using small ASCII-digit integers).
68  * Some of the API methods work only with argument numbers and throw an exception
69  * if the pattern has named arguments (see {@link #usesNamedArguments()}).
70  *
71  * <p>An argument might not specify any format type. In this case,
72  * a Number value is formatted with a default (for the locale) NumberFormat,
73  * a Date value is formatted with a default (for the locale) DateFormat,
74  * and for any other value its toString() value is used.
75  *
76  * <p>An argument might specify a "simple" type for which the specified
77  * Format object is created, cached and used.
78  *
79  * <p>An argument might have a "complex" type with nested MessageFormat sub-patterns.
80  * During formatting, one of these sub-messages is selected according to the argument value
81  * and recursively formatted.
82  *
83  * <p>After construction, a custom Format object can be set for
84  * a top-level argument, overriding the default formatting and parsing behavior
85  * for that argument.
86  * However, custom formatting can be achieved more simply by writing
87  * a typeless argument in the pattern string
88  * and supplying it with a preformatted string value.
89  *
90  * <p>When formatting, MessageFormat takes a collection of argument values
91  * and writes an output string.
92  * The argument values may be passed as an array
93  * (when the pattern contains only numbered arguments)
94  * or as an array of names and and an array of arguments (which works for both named
95  * and numbered arguments).
96  *
97  * <p>Each argument is matched with one of the input values by array index or argument name
98  * and formatted according to its pattern specification
99  * (or using a custom Format object if one was set).
100  * A numbered pattern argument is matched with an argument name that contains that number
101  * as an ASCII-decimal-digit string (without leading zero).
102  *
103  * <h4><a name="patterns">Patterns and Their Interpretation</a></h4>
104  *
105  * <code>MessageFormat</code> uses patterns of the following form:
106  * <pre>
107  * message = messageText (argument messageText)*
108  * argument = noneArg | simpleArg | complexArg
109  * complexArg = choiceArg | pluralArg | selectArg | selectordinalArg
110  *
111  * noneArg = '{' argNameOrNumber '}'
112  * simpleArg = '{' argNameOrNumber ',' argType [',' argStyle] '}'
113  * choiceArg = '{' argNameOrNumber ',' "choice" ',' choiceStyle '}'
114  * pluralArg = '{' argNameOrNumber ',' "plural" ',' pluralStyle '}'
115  * selectArg = '{' argNameOrNumber ',' "select" ',' selectStyle '}'
116  * selectordinalArg = '{' argNameOrNumber ',' "selectordinal" ',' pluralStyle '}'
117  *
118  * choiceStyle: see {@link ChoiceFormat}
119  * pluralStyle: see {@link PluralFormat}
120  * selectStyle: see {@link SelectFormat}
121  *
122  * argNameOrNumber = argName | argNumber
123  * argName = [^[[:Pattern_Syntax:][:Pattern_White_Space:]]]+
124  * argNumber = '0' | ('1'..'9' ('0'..'9')*)
125  *
126  * argType = "number" | "date" | "time" | "spellout" | "ordinal" | "duration"
127  * argStyle = "short" | "medium" | "long" | "full" | "integer" | "currency" | "percent" | argStyleText | "::" argSkeletonText
128  * </pre>
129  *
130  * <ul>
131  *   <li>messageText can contain quoted literal strings including syntax characters.
132  *       A quoted literal string begins with an ASCII apostrophe and a syntax character
133  *       (usually a {curly brace}) and continues until the next single apostrophe.
134  *       A double ASCII apostrohpe inside or outside of a quoted string represents
135  *       one literal apostrophe.
136  *   <li>Quotable syntax characters are the {curly braces} in all messageText parts,
137  *       plus the '#' sign in a messageText immediately inside a pluralStyle,
138  *       and the '|' symbol in a messageText immediately inside a choiceStyle.
139  *   <li>See also {@link #UMessagePatternApostropheMode}
140  *   <li>In argStyleText, every single ASCII apostrophe begins and ends quoted literal text,
141  *       and unquoted {curly braces} must occur in matched pairs.
142  * </ul>
143  *
144  * <p>Recommendation: Use the real apostrophe (single quote) character
145  * \htmlonly&#x2019;\endhtmlonly (U+2019) for
146  * human-readable text, and use the ASCII apostrophe ' (U+0027)
147  * only in program syntax, like quoting in MessageFormat.
148  * See the annotations for U+0027 Apostrophe in The Unicode Standard.
149  *
150  * <p>The <code>choice</code> argument type is deprecated.
151  * Use <code>plural</code> arguments for proper plural selection,
152  * and <code>select</code> arguments for simple selection among a fixed set of choices.
153  *
154  * <p>The <code>argType</code> and <code>argStyle</code> values are used to create
155  * a <code>Format</code> instance for the format element. The following
156  * table shows how the values map to Format instances. Combinations not
157  * shown in the table are illegal. Any <code>argStyleText</code> must
158  * be a valid pattern string for the Format subclass used.

243  * <h4>Usage Information</h4>
244  *
245  * <p>Here are some examples of usage:
246  * Example 1:
247  *
248  * <pre>
249  * \code
250  *     UErrorCode success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
251  *     GregorianCalendar cal(success);
252  *     Formattable arguments[] = {
253  *         7L,
254  *         Formattable( (Date) cal.getTime(success), Formattable::kIsDate),
255  *         "a disturbance in the Force"
256  *     };
257  *
258  *     UnicodeString result;
259  *     MessageFormat::format(
260  *          "At {1,time} on {1,date}, there was {2} on planet {0,number}.",
261  *          arguments, 3, result, success );
262  *
263  *     cout << "result: " << result << endl;
264  *     //<output>: At 4:34:20 PM on 23-Mar-98, there was a disturbance
265  *     //             in the Force on planet 7.
266  * \endcode
267  * </pre>
268  *
269  * Typically, the message format will come from resources, and the
270  * arguments will be dynamically set at runtime.
271  *
272  * <p>Example 2:
273  *
274  * <pre>
275  *  \code
276  *     success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
277  *     Formattable testArgs[] = {3L, "MyDisk"};
278  *
279  *     MessageFormat form(
280  *         "The disk \"{1}\" contains {0} file(s).", success );
281  *
282  *     UnicodeString string;
283  *     FieldPosition fpos = 0;
284  *     cout << "format: " << form.format(testArgs, 2, string, fpos, success ) << endl;
285  *
286  *     // output, with different testArgs:
287  *     // output: The disk "MyDisk" contains 0 file(s).
288  *     // output: The disk "MyDisk" contains 1 file(s).
289  *     // output: The disk "MyDisk" contains 1,273 file(s).
290  *  \endcode
291  *  </pre>
292  *
293  *
294  * <p>For messages that include plural forms, you can use a plural argument:
295  * <pre>
296  * \code
297  *  success = U_ZERO_ERROR;
298  *  MessageFormat msgFmt(
299  *       "{num_files, plural, "
300  *       "=0{There are no files on disk \"{disk_name}\".}"
301  *       "=1{There is one file on disk \"{disk_name}\".}"
302  *       "other{There are # files on disk \"{disk_name}\".}}",
303  *      Locale("en"),
304  *      success);
305  *  FieldPosition fpos = 0;
306  *  Formattable testArgs[] = {0L, "MyDisk"};
307  *  UnicodeString testArgsNames[] = {"num_files", "disk_name"};
308  *  UnicodeString result;
309  *  cout << msgFmt.format(testArgs, testArgsNames, 2, result, fpos, 0, success);
310  *  testArgs[0] = 3L;
311  *  cout << msgFmt.format(testArgs, testArgsNames, 2, result, fpos, 0, success);
312  * \endcode
313  * <em>output</em>:
314  * There are no files on disk "MyDisk".
315  * There are 3 files on "MyDisk".
316  * </pre>
317  * See {@link PluralFormat} and {@link PluralRules} for details.
318  *
319  * <h4><a name="synchronization">Synchronization</a></h4>
320  *
321  * <p>MessageFormats are not synchronized.
322  * It is recommended to create separate format instances for each thread.
323  * If multiple threads access a format concurrently, it must be synchronized
324  * externally.
