Module Catala_utils.StringSource
include module type of String
Strings
The type for strings.
make n c is a string of length n with each index holding the character c.
init n f is a string of length n with index i holding the character f i (called in increasing index order).
The empty string.
Return a new string that contains the same bytes as the given byte sequence.
Return a new byte sequence that contains the same bytes as the given string.
length s is the length (number of bytes/characters) of s.
get s i is the character at index i in s. This is the same as writing s.[i].
Concatenating
Note. The Stdlib.(^) binary operator concatenates two strings.
concat sep ss concatenates the list of strings ss, inserting the separator string sep between each.
cat s1 s2 concatenates s1 and s2 (s1 ^ s2).
Predicates and comparisons
equal s0 s1 is true if and only if s0 and s1 are character-wise equal.
compare s0 s1 sorts s0 and s1 in lexicographical order. compare behaves like Stdlib.compare on strings but may be more efficient.
starts_with ~prefix s is true if and only if s starts with prefix.
ends_with ~suffix s is true if and only if s ends with suffix.
contains_from s start c is true if and only if c appears in s after position start.
rcontains_from s stop c is true if and only if c appears in s before position stop+1.
contains s c is String.contains_from s 0 c.
Extracting substrings
sub s pos len is a string of length len, containing the substring of s that starts at position pos and has length len.
split_on_char sep s is the list of all (possibly empty) substrings of s that are delimited by the character sep.
The function's result is specified by the following invariants:
- The list is not empty.
- Concatenating its elements using
sepas a separator returns a string equal to the input (concat (make 1 sep) (split_on_char sep s) = s). - No string in the result contains the
sepcharacter.
Transforming
map f s is the string resulting from applying f to all the characters of s in increasing order.
mapi f s is like map but the index of the character is also passed to f.
fold_left f x s computes f (... (f (f x s.[0]) s.[1]) ...) s.[n-1], where n is the length of the string s.
fold_right f s x computes f s.[0] (f s.[1] ( ... (f s.[n-1] x) ...)), where n is the length of the string s.
for_all p s checks if all characters in s satisfy the predicate p.
exists p s checks if at least one character of s satisfies the predicate p.
trim s is s without leading and trailing whitespace. Whitespace characters are: ' ', '\x0C' (form feed), '\n', '\r', and '\t'.
escaped s is s with special characters represented by escape sequences, following the lexical conventions of OCaml.
All characters outside the US-ASCII printable range [0x20;0x7E] are escaped, as well as backslash (0x2F) and double-quote (0x22).
The function Scanf.unescaped is a left inverse of escaped, i.e. Scanf.unescaped (escaped s) = s for any string s (unless escaped s fails).
uppercase_ascii s is s with all lowercase letters translated to uppercase, using the US-ASCII character set.
lowercase_ascii s is s with all uppercase letters translated to lowercase, using the US-ASCII character set.
capitalize_ascii s is s with the first character set to uppercase, using the US-ASCII character set.
uncapitalize_ascii s is s with the first character set to lowercase, using the US-ASCII character set.
Traversing
iter f s applies function f in turn to all the characters of s. It is equivalent to f s.[0]; f s.[1]; ...; f s.[length s - 1]; ().
iteri is like iter, but the function is also given the corresponding character index.
Searching
index_from s i c is the index of the first occurrence of c in s after position i.
index_from_opt s i c is the index of the first occurrence of c in s after position i (if any).
rindex_from s i c is the index of the last occurrence of c in s before position i+1.
rindex_from_opt s i c is the index of the last occurrence of c in s before position i+1 (if any).
index s c is String.index_from s 0 c.
index_opt s c is String.index_from_opt s 0 c.
rindex s c is String.rindex_from s (length s - 1) c.
rindex_opt s c is String.rindex_from_opt s (length s - 1) c.
Strings and Sequences
to_seq s is a sequence made of the string's characters in increasing order. In "unsafe-string" mode, modifications of the string during iteration will be reflected in the sequence.
to_seqi s is like to_seq but also tuples the corresponding index.
UTF decoding and validations
UTF-8
get_utf_8_uchar b i decodes an UTF-8 character at index i in b.
is_valid_utf_8 b is true if and only if b contains valid UTF-8 data.
UTF-16BE
get_utf_16be_uchar b i decodes an UTF-16BE character at index i in b.
is_valid_utf_16be b is true if and only if b contains valid UTF-16BE data.
UTF-16LE
get_utf_16le_uchar b i decodes an UTF-16LE character at index i in b.
is_valid_utf_16le b is true if and only if b contains valid UTF-16LE data.
blit src src_pos dst dst_pos len copies len bytes from the string src, starting at index src_pos, to byte sequence dst, starting at character number dst_pos.
Binary decoding of integers
The functions in this section binary decode integers from strings.
All following functions raise Invalid_argument if the characters needed at index i to decode the integer are not available.
Little-endian (resp. big-endian) encoding means that least (resp. most) significant bytes are stored first. Big-endian is also known as network byte order. Native-endian encoding is either little-endian or big-endian depending on Sys.big_endian.
32-bit and 64-bit integers are represented by the int32 and int64 types, which can be interpreted either as signed or unsigned numbers.
8-bit and 16-bit integers are represented by the int type, which has more bits than the binary encoding. These extra bits are sign-extended (or zero-extended) for functions which decode 8-bit or 16-bit integers and represented them with int values.
get_uint8 b i is b's unsigned 8-bit integer starting at character index i.
get_int8 b i is b's signed 8-bit integer starting at character index i.
get_uint16_ne b i is b's native-endian unsigned 16-bit integer starting at character index i.
get_uint16_be b i is b's big-endian unsigned 16-bit integer starting at character index i.
get_uint16_le b i is b's little-endian unsigned 16-bit integer starting at character index i.
get_int16_ne b i is b's native-endian signed 16-bit integer starting at character index i.
get_int16_be b i is b's big-endian signed 16-bit integer starting at character index i.
get_int16_le b i is b's little-endian signed 16-bit integer starting at character index i.
get_int32_ne b i is b's native-endian 32-bit integer starting at character index i.

Helper functions used for string manipulation.
Removes all non-ASCII diacritics from a string by converting them to their base letter in the Latin alphabet.
is_uppercase c returns if c is in the set 'A'...'Z'.
begins_with_uppercase s returns if the first letter of s is_uppercase_ascii. If s is empty returns false.
Converts CamlCase into snake_case after removing Remove all diacritics on Latin letters.
Converts snake_case into CamlCase after removing Remove all diacritics on Latin letters.
remove_prefix ~prefix str returns
- if
strstarts withprefix, a stringssuch thatprefix ^ s = str - otherwise,
strunchanged
Returns the width of a given string in screen columns (assuming a monospace font). Useful for alignment. This takes unicode (except composite chars) and tabs into account, but not escape sequences.
