Information

Library content

Package Strings contains functions to manipulate strings.

In the table below an example call to every function is given using the default options.

FunctionDescription
len = length(string) Returns length of string
string2 = substring(string1,startIndex,endIndex) Returns a substring defined by start and end index
result = repeat(n)
result = repeat(n,string)
Repeat a blank or a string n times.
result = compare(string1, string2) Compares two substrings with regards to alphabetical order
identical = isEqual(string1,string2) Determine whether two strings are identical
result = count(string,searchString) Count the number of occurrences of a string
index = find(string,searchString) Find first occurrence of a string in another string
index = findLast(string,searchString) Find last occurrence of a string in another string
string2 = replace(string,searchString,replaceString) Replace one or all occurrences of a string
stringVector2 = sort(stringVector1) Sort vector of strings in alphabetic order
hash = hashString(string) Create a hash value of a string
(token, index) = scanToken(string,startIndex) Scan for a token (Real/Integer/Boolean/String/Identifier/Delimiter/NoToken)
(number, index) = scanReal(string,startIndex) Scan for a Real constant
(number, index) = scanInteger(string,startIndex) Scan for an Integer constant
(boolean, index) = scanBoolean(string,startIndex) Scan for a Boolean constant
(string2, index) = scanString(string,startIndex) Scan for a String constant
(identifier, index) = scanIdentifier(string,startIndex) Scan for an identifier
(delimiter, index) = scanDelimiter(string,startIndex) Scan for delimiters
scanNoToken(string,startIndex) Check that remaining part of string consists solely of
white space or line comments ("// ...\n").
syntaxError(string,index,message) Print a "syntax error message" as well as a string and the
index at which scanning detected an error

The functions "compare", "isEqual", "count", "find", "findLast", "replace", "sort" have the optional input argument caseSensitive with default true. If false, the operation is carried out without taking into account whether a character is upper or lower case.
