Function template gather_weekday_strings

boost::date_time::gather_weekday_strings — This function gathers up all the weekday strings from a std::locale.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/date_time/strings_from_facet.hpp>


template<typename charT> 
  std::vector< std::basic_string< charT > > 
  gather_weekday_strings(const std::locale & locale, 
                         bool short_strings = true);

Description

Using the time_put facet, this function creates a collection of all the weekday strings from a locale starting with the string for 'Sunday'. This is handy when building custom date parsers or formatters that need to be localized.

Parameters:

`locale`	The locale to use when gathering the strings
`short_strings`	True(default) to gather short strings, false for long strings.

Returns:

A vector of strings containing the weekdays in order. eg: Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat
