Module StdLabels.String

module String: StringLabels;

let length: string => int;

Return the length (number of characters) of the given string.

let get: (string, int) => char;

String.get s n returns the character at index n in string s. You can also write s.[n] instead of String.get s n.

Raise Invalid_argument if n not a valid index in s.

let set: (bytes, int, char) => unit;

Deprecated.This is a deprecated alias of BytesLabels.set.
String.set s n c modifies byte sequence s in place, replacing the byte at index n with c. You can also write s.[n] <- c instead of String.set s n c.

Raise Invalid_argument if n is not a valid index in s.

let create: int => bytes;

Deprecated.This is a deprecated alias of BytesLabels.create.
String.create n returns a fresh byte sequence of length n. The sequence is uninitialized and contains arbitrary bytes.

Raise Invalid_argument if n < 0 or n > Sys.max_string_length.

let make: (int, char) => string;

String.make n c returns a fresh string of length n, filled with the character c.

Raise Invalid_argument if n < 0 or n > Sys.max_string_length.

let init: (int, ~f: int => char) => string;

init n f returns a string of length n, with character i initialized to the result of f i.

Raise Invalid_argument if n < 0 or n > Sys.max_string_length.

let copy: string => string;

Return a copy of the given string.

let sub: (string, ~pos: int, ~len: int) => string;

String.sub s start len returns a fresh string of length len, containing the substring of s that starts at position start and has length len.

Raise Invalid_argument if start and len do not designate a valid substring of s.

let fill: (bytes, ~pos: int, ~len: int, char) => unit;

Deprecated.This is a deprecated alias of BytesLabels.fill.
String.fill s start len c modifies byte sequence s in place, replacing len bytes by c, starting at start.

Raise Invalid_argument if start and len do not designate a valid substring of s.

let blit:
  (~src: string, ~src_pos: int, ~dst: bytes, ~dst_pos: int, ~len: int) => unit;

String.blit src srcoff dst dstoff len copies len bytes from the string src, starting at index srcoff, to byte sequence dst, starting at character number dstoff.

Raise Invalid_argument if srcoff and len do not designate a valid range of src, or if dstoff and len do not designate a valid range of dst.

let concat: (~sep: string, list(string)) => string;

String.concat sep sl concatenates the list of strings sl, inserting the separator string sep between each.

let iter: (~f: char => unit, string) => unit;

String.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.[String.length s - 1]; ().

let iteri: (~f: (int, char) => unit, string) => unit;

Same as String.iter, but the function is applied to the index of the element as first argument (counting from 0), and the character itself as second argument.
Since 4.00.0

let map: (~f: char => char, string) => string;

String.map f s applies function f in turn to all the characters of s and stores the results in a new string that is returned.
Since 4.00.0

let mapi: (~f: (int, char) => char, string) => string;

String.mapi f s calls f with each character of s and its index (in increasing index order) and stores the results in a new string that is returned.
Since 4.02.0

let trim: string => string;

Return a copy of the argument, without leading and trailing whitespace. The characters regarded as whitespace are: ' ', '\012', '\n', '\r', and '\t'. If there is no leading nor trailing whitespace character in the argument, return the original string itself, not a copy.
Since 4.00.0

let escaped: string => string;

Return a copy of the argument, with special characters represented by escape sequences, following the lexical conventions of OCaml. If there is no special character in the argument, return the original string itself, not a copy. Its inverse function is Scanf.unescaped.

let index: (string, char) => int;

String.index s c returns the index of the first occurrence of character c in string s.

Raise Not_found if c does not occur in s.

let rindex: (string, char) => int;

String.rindex s c returns the index of the last occurrence of character c in string s.

Raise Not_found if c does not occur in s.

let index_from: (string, int, char) => int;

String.index_from s i c returns the index of the first occurrence of character c in string s after position i. String.index s c is equivalent to String.index_from s 0 c.

Raise Invalid_argument if i is not a valid position in s. Raise Not_found if c does not occur in s after position i.

let rindex_from: (string, int, char) => int;

String.rindex_from s i c returns the index of the last occurrence of character c in string s before position i+1. String.rindex s c is equivalent to String.rindex_from s (String.length s - 1) c.

Raise Invalid_argument if i+1 is not a valid position in s. Raise Not_found if c does not occur in s before position i+1.

let contains: (string, char) => bool;

String.contains s c tests if character c appears in the string s.

let contains_from: (string, int, char) => bool;

String.contains_from s start c tests if character c appears in s after position start. String.contains s c is equivalent to String.contains_from s 0 c.

Raise Invalid_argument if start is not a valid position in s.

let rcontains_from: (string, int, char) => bool;

String.rcontains_from s stop c tests if character c appears in s before position stop+1.

Raise Invalid_argument if stop < 0 or stop+1 is not a valid position in s.

let uppercase: string => string;

Return a copy of the argument, with all lowercase letters translated to uppercase, including accented letters of the ISO Latin-1 (8859-1) character set.

let lowercase: string => string;

Return a copy of the argument, with all uppercase letters translated to lowercase, including accented letters of the ISO Latin-1 (8859-1) character set.

let capitalize: string => string;

Return a copy of the argument, with the first character set to uppercase.

let uncapitalize: string => string;

Return a copy of the argument, with the first character set to lowercase.

type t = string;

An alias for the type of strings.

let compare: (t, t) => int;

The comparison function for strings, with the same specification as Pervasives.compare. Along with the type t, this function compare allows the module String to be passed as argument to the functors Set.Make and Map.Make.
