A name or identifier must match the KParseTokens criteria passed in nStartCharFlags and nContCharFlags and may additionally contain characters of aUserDefinedCharactersStart and/or aUserDefinedCharactersCont.

If a token may represent either a numeric value or a name according to the passed Start/Cont-Flags/Chars, both KParseType::ASC_NUM (or KParseType::UNI_NUM) and KParseType::IDENTNAME are set in ParseResult::TokenType.

 using namespace ::com::sun::star::i18n;
 // First character of an identifier may be any alphabetic or underscore.
 sal_Int32 nStartFlags = KParseTokens::ANY_ALPHA | KParseTokens::ASC_UNDERSCORE;
 // Continuing characters may be any alphanumeric or underscore or dot.
 sal_Int32 nContFlags = KParseTokens::ANY_ALNUM | KParseTokens::ASC_UNDERSCORE | KParseTokens::ASC_DOT;
 // No further characters assumed to be contained in an identifier
 String aEmptyString;
 // Parse any token.
 ParseResult rRes = xCC->parseAnyToken( aText, nPos, aLocale,
 nStartFlags, aEmptyString, nContFlags, aEmptyString );
 // Get parsed token.
 if ( rRes.TokenType & (KParseType::ASC_NUMBER | KParseType::UNI_NUMBER) )
 fValue = rRes.Value;
 if ( rRes.TokenType & KParseType::IDENTNAME )
 aName = aText.Copy( nPos, rRes.EndPos - nPos );
 else if ( rRes.TokenType & KParseType::SINGLE_QUOTE_NAME )
 aName = rRes.DequotedNameOrString;
 else if ( rRes.TokenType & KParseType::DOUBLE_QUOTE_STRING )
 aString = rRes.DequotedNameOrString;
 else if ( rRes.TokenType & KParseType::BOOLEAN )
 aSymbol = aText.Copy( nPos, rRes.EndPos - nPos );
 else if ( rRes.TokenType & KParseType::ONE_SINGLE_CHAR )
 aSymbol = aText.Copy( nPos, rRes.EndPos - nPos );
 

Other parameters are the same as in parseAnyToken. If the actual token does not match the passed nTokenType a ParseResult::TokenType set to 0 (zero) is returned.

 // Determine if a given name is a valid name (not quoted) and contains
 // only allowed characters.
 using namespace ::com::sun::star::i18n;
 // First character of an identifier may be any alphanumeric or underscore.
 sal_Int32 nStartFlags = KParseTokens::ANY_ALNUM | KParseTokens::ASC_UNDERSCORE;
 // No further characters assumed to be contained in an identifier start.
 String aEmptyString;
 // Continuing characters may be any alphanumeric or underscore.
 sal_Int32 nContFlags = nStartFlags;
 // Additionally, continuing characters may contain a blank.
 String aContChars( RTL_CONSTASCII_USTRINGPARAM(" ") );
 // Parse predefined (must be an IDENTNAME) token.
 ParseResult rRes = xCC->parsePredefinedToken( KParseType::IDENTNAME, rName, 0, aLocale,
 nStartFlags, aEmptyString, nContFlags, aContChars );
 // Test if it is an identifier name and if it only is one
 // and no more else is following it.
 bValid = (rRes.TokenType & KParseType::IDENTNAME) && rRes.EndPos == rName.Len();
