i tried to write a simple typechecking function in c. but it does not work
correct
-- CODE --
#include <postgres.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <fmgr.h>
PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(text_to_card);
Datum text_to_card(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{
int i,l;
int32 ret;
text *t = PG_GETARG_TEXT_P(0);
l = VARSIZE(t) - VARHDRSZ;
for (i = 0; i < l; i++) { if ( (t->vl_dat[i] < '0') || (t->vl_dat[i] >
'9')) break; }
if (i==l) ret = 0;
else ret = i;
PG_RETURN_INT32(ret);
}
--END --
this function should check if it is possible to cast a TEXT in an unsigned
INTEGER. if OK it returns 0
otherwise the position in the string where the error occured.
( so you can produce error messages like ERROR[234] text_to_card('paramete')
failed at <3>)
i assumed - after reading the corresponding header files and docs and google
- the type structure of a text as above.
i only get zeros and ones as result
the algorithm works fine in 'normal' c.
is there a possibilty to treat a TEXT parameter like a char array ?
thanks and regards sepp
