include module type of String
make n c
is a string of length n
with each index holding the character c
.
get s i
is the character at index i
in s
. This is the same as writing s.[i]
.
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.
Same as Bytes.blit_string
which should be preferred.
Note. The Stdlib.(^)
binary operator concatenates two strings.
concat sep ss
concatenates the list of strings ss
, inserting the separator string sep
between each.
compare s0 s1
sorts s0
and s1
in lexicographical order. compare
behaves like Stdlib.compare
on strings but may be more efficient.
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
.
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:
sep
as a separator returns a string equal to the input (concat (make 1 sep)
(split_on_char sep s) = s
).sep
character.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_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.
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.
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
.
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.
val get_utf_8_uchar : t -> int -> Uchar.utf_decode
get_utf_8_uchar b i
decodes an UTF-8 character at index i
in b
.
val is_valid_utf_8 : t -> bool
is_valid_utf_8 b
is true
if and only if b
contains valid UTF-8 data.
val get_utf_16be_uchar : t -> int -> Uchar.utf_decode
get_utf_16be_uchar b i
decodes an UTF-16BE character at index i
in b
.
val is_valid_utf_16be : t -> bool
is_valid_utf_16be b
is true
if and only if b
contains valid UTF-16BE data.
val get_utf_16le_uchar : t -> int -> Uchar.utf_decode
get_utf_16le_uchar b i
decodes an UTF-16LE character at index i
in b
.
val is_valid_utf_16le : t -> bool
is_valid_utf_16le b
is true
if and only if b
contains valid UTF-16LE data.
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.
