func CompareSource

func Compare(a, b string) int

Compare returns an integer comparing two strings lexicographically. The result will be 0 if a==b, -1 if a < b, and +1 if a > b.

Compare is included only for symmetry with package bytes. It is usually clearer and always faster to use the built-in string comparison operators ==, <, >, and so on.

func ContainsSource

func Contains(s, substr string) bool

Contains reports whether substr is within s.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.Contains("seafood", "foo"))
	fmt.Println(strings.Contains("seafood", "bar"))
	fmt.Println(strings.Contains("seafood", ""))
	fmt.Println(strings.Contains("", ""))
}

func ContainsAnySource

func ContainsAny(s, chars string) bool

ContainsAny reports whether any Unicode code points in chars are within s.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("team", "i"))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("failure", "u & i"))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("foo", ""))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("", ""))
}

func ContainsRuneSource

func ContainsRune(s string, r rune) bool

ContainsRune reports whether the Unicode code point r is within s.

func CountSource

func Count(s, sep string) int

Count counts the number of non-overlapping instances of sep in s. If sep is an empty string, Count returns 1 + the number of Unicode code points in s.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.Count("cheese", "e"))
	fmt.Println(strings.Count("five", "")) // before & after each rune
}

func EqualFoldSource

func EqualFold(s, t string) bool

EqualFold reports whether s and t, interpreted as UTF-8 strings, are equal under Unicode case-folding.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("Go", "go"))
}

func FieldsSource

func Fields(s string) []string

Fields splits the string s around each instance of one or more consecutive white space characters, as defined by unicode.IsSpace, returning an array of substrings of s or an empty list if s contains only white space.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("Fields are: %q", strings.Fields("  foo bar  baz   "))
}

func FieldsFuncSource

func FieldsFunc(s string, f func(rune) bool) []string

FieldsFunc splits the string s at each run of Unicode code points c satisfying f(c) and returns an array of slices of s. If all code points in s satisfy f(c) or the string is empty, an empty slice is returned. FieldsFunc makes no guarantees about the order in which it calls f(c). If f does not return consistent results for a given c, FieldsFunc may crash.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	f := func(c rune) bool {
		return !unicode.IsLetter(c) && !unicode.IsNumber(c)
	}
	fmt.Printf("Fields are: %q", strings.FieldsFunc("  foo1;bar2,baz3...", f))
}

func HasPrefixSource

func HasPrefix(s, prefix string) bool

HasPrefix tests whether the string s begins with prefix.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

	fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("Gopher", "C"))
	fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("Gopher", ""))
}

func HasSuffixSource

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "go"))
	fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "O"))
	fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "Ami"))
	fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", ""))
}

func IndexSource

	fmt.Println(strings.Index("chicken", "dmr"))
}

func IndexAnySource

	f := func(c rune) bool {
		return unicode.Is(unicode.Han, c)
	}
	fmt.Println(strings.IndexFunc("Hello, 世界", f))
	fmt.Println(strings.IndexFunc("Hello, world", f))
}

func IndexRuneSource

func IndexRune(s string, r rune) int

IndexRune returns the index of the first instance of the Unicode code point r, or -1 if rune is not present in s. If r is utf8.RuneError, it returns the first instance of any invalid UTF-8 byte sequence.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.IndexRune("chicken", 'k'))
	fmt.Println(strings.IndexRune("chicken", 'd'))
}

func JoinSource

func MapSource

func Map(mapping func(rune) rune, s string) string

Map returns a copy of the string s with all its characters modified according to the mapping function. If mapping returns a negative value, the character is dropped from the string with no replacement.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	rot13 := func(r rune) rune {
		switch {
		case r >= 'A' && r <= 'Z':
			return 'A' + (r-'A'+13)%26
		case r >= 'a' && r <= 'z':
			return 'a' + (r-'a'+13)%26
		}
		return r
	}
	fmt.Println(strings.Map(rot13, "'Twas brillig and the slithy gopher..."))
}

func RepeatSource

	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println("ba" + strings.Repeat("na", 2))
}

func ReplaceSource

func Replace(s, old, new string, n int) string

Replace returns a copy of the string s with the first n non-overlapping instances of old replaced by new. If old is empty, it matches at the beginning of the string and after each UTF-8 sequence, yielding up to k+1 replacements for a k-rune string. If n < 0, there is no limit on the number of replacements.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.Replace("oink oink oink", "k", "ky", 2))
	fmt.Println(strings.Replace("oink oink oink", "oink", "moo", -1))
}

func SplitSource

func Split(s, sep string) []string

Split slices s into all substrings separated by sep and returns a slice of the substrings between those separators. If sep is empty, Split splits after each UTF-8 sequence. It is equivalent to SplitN with a count of -1.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split("a,b,c", ","))

	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split("", "Bernardo O'Higgins"))
}

func SplitAfterSource

func SplitAfter(s, sep string) []string

SplitAfter slices s into all substrings after each instance of sep and returns a slice of those substrings. If sep is empty, SplitAfter splits after each UTF-8 sequence. It is equivalent to SplitAfterN with a count of -1.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.SplitAfter("a,b,c", ","))
}

func SplitAfterNSource

func SplitAfterN(s, sep string, n int) []string

SplitAfterN slices s into substrings after each instance of sep and returns a slice of those substrings. If sep is empty, SplitAfterN splits after each UTF-8 sequence. The count determines the number of substrings to return:

n > 0: at most n substrings; the last substring will be the unsplit remainder.
n == 0: the result is nil (zero substrings)
n < 0: all substrings

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.SplitAfterN("a,b,c", ",", 2))
}

func SplitNSource

func SplitN(s, sep string, n int) []string

SplitN slices s into substrings separated by sep and returns a slice of the substrings between those separators. If sep is empty, SplitN splits after each UTF-8 sequence. The count determines the number of substrings to return:

n > 0: at most n substrings; the last substring will be the unsplit remainder.
n == 0: the result is nil (zero substrings)
n < 0: all substrings

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.SplitN("a,b,c", ",", 2))
	z := strings.SplitN("a,b,c", ",", 0)
	fmt.Printf("%q (nil = %v)\n", z, z == nil)
}
