Functions

func Clone

func Clone(s string) string

Clone returns a fresh copy of s. It guarantees to make a copy of s into a new allocation, which can be important when retaining only a small substring of a much larger string. Using Clone can help such programs use less memory. Of course, since using Clone makes a copy, overuse of Clone can make programs use more memory. Clone should typically be used only rarely, and only when profiling indicates that it is needed. For strings of length zero the string "" will be returned and no allocation is made.

func Compare

func Compare(a string, 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.

Use Compare when you need to perform a three-way comparison (with slices.SortFunc, for example). It is usually clearer and always faster to use the built-in string comparison operators ==, <, >, and so on.

func Contains

func Contains(s string, substr string) bool

Contains reports whether substr is within s.

func ContainsAny

func ContainsAny(s string, chars string) bool

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

func ContainsFunc

func ContainsFunc(s string, f func(rune) bool) bool

ContainsFunc reports whether any Unicode code points r within s satisfy f(r).

func ContainsRune

func ContainsRune(s string, r rune) bool

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

func Count

func Count(s string, substr string) int

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

func Cut

func Cut(s string, sep string) (before string, after string, found bool)

Cut slices s around the first instance of sep, returning the text before and after sep. The found result reports whether sep appears in s. If sep does not appear in s, cut returns s, "", false.

func CutPrefix

func CutPrefix(s string, prefix string) (after string, found bool)

CutPrefix returns s without the provided leading prefix string and reports whether it found the prefix. If s doesn't start with prefix, CutPrefix returns s, false. If prefix is the empty string, CutPrefix returns s, true.

func CutSuffix

func CutSuffix(s string, suffix string) (before string, found bool)

CutSuffix returns s without the provided ending suffix string and reports whether it found the suffix. If s doesn't end with suffix, CutSuffix returns s, false. If suffix is the empty string, CutSuffix returns s, true.

func EqualFold

func EqualFold(s string, t string) bool

EqualFold reports whether s and t, interpreted as UTF-8 strings, are equal under simple Unicode case-folding, which is a more general form of case-insensitivity.

func Fields

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 a slice of substrings of s or an empty slice if s contains only white space.

func FieldsFunc

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) and assumes that f always returns the same value for a given c.

func FieldsFuncSeq

func FieldsFuncSeq(s string, f func(rune) bool) iter.Seq[string]

FieldsFuncSeq returns an iterator over substrings of s split around runs of Unicode code points satisfying f(c). The iterator yields the same strings that would be returned by FieldsFunc(s), but without constructing the slice.

func FieldsSeq

func FieldsSeq(s string) iter.Seq[string]

FieldsSeq returns an iterator over substrings of s split around runs of whitespace characters, as defined by unicode.IsSpace. The iterator yields the same strings that would be returned by Fields(s), but without constructing the slice.

func HasPrefix

func HasPrefix(s string, prefix string) bool

HasPrefix reports whether the string s begins with prefix.

func HasSuffix

func HasSuffix(s string, suffix string) bool

HasSuffix reports whether the string s ends with suffix.

func Index

func Index(s string, substr string) int

Index returns the index of the first instance of substr in s, or -1 if substr is not present in s.

func IndexAny

func IndexAny(s string, chars string) int

IndexAny returns the index of the first instance of any Unicode code point from chars in s, or -1 if no Unicode code point from chars is present in s.

func IndexByte

func IndexByte(s string, c byte) int

IndexByte returns the index of the first instance of c in s, or -1 if c is not present in s.

func IndexFunc

func IndexFunc(s string, f func(rune) bool) int

IndexFunc returns the index into s of the first Unicode code point satisfying f(c), or -1 if none do.

func IndexRune

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.

func Join

func Join(elems []string, sep string) string

Join concatenates the elements of its first argument to create a single string. The separator string sep is placed between elements in the resulting string.

func LastIndex

func LastIndex(s string, substr string) int

LastIndex returns the index of the last instance of substr in s, or -1 if substr is not present in s.

func LastIndexAny

func LastIndexAny(s string, chars string) int

LastIndexAny returns the index of the last instance of any Unicode code point from chars in s, or -1 if no Unicode code point from chars is present in s.

func LastIndexByte

func LastIndexByte(s string, c byte) int

LastIndexByte returns the index of the last instance of c in s, or -1 if c is not present in s.

func LastIndexFunc

func LastIndexFunc(s string, f func(rune) bool) int

LastIndexFunc returns the index into s of the last Unicode code point satisfying f(c), or -1 if none do.

func Lines

func Lines(s string) iter.Seq[string]

Lines returns an iterator over the newline-terminated lines in the string s. The lines yielded by the iterator include their terminating newlines. If s is empty, the iterator yields no lines at all. If s does not end in a newline, the final yielded line will not end in a newline. It returns a single-use iterator.

func Map

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.

func NewReader

func NewReader(s string) *strings.Reader

NewReader returns a new Reader reading from s. It is similar to bytes.NewBufferString but more efficient and non-writable.

func NewReplacer

func NewReplacer(oldnew ...string) *strings.Replacer

NewReplacer returns a new Replacer from a list of old, new string pairs. Replacements are performed in the order they appear in the target string, without overlapping matches. The old string comparisons are done in argument order.

NewReplacer panics if given an odd number of arguments.

func Random

func Random(n int, charset []rune) string

Random returns a random string of the given length.

func Repeat

func Repeat(s string, count int) string

Repeat returns a new string consisting of count copies of the string s.

It panics if count is negative or if the result of (len(s) * count) overflows.

func Replace

func Replace(s string, old string, 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.

func ReplaceAll

func ReplaceAll(s string, old string, new string) string

ReplaceAll returns a copy of the string s with all 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.

func Split

func Split(s string, sep string) []string

Split slices s into all substrings separated by sep and returns a slice of the substrings between those separators.

If s does not contain sep and sep is not empty, Split returns a slice of length 1 whose only element is s.

If sep is empty, Split splits after each UTF-8 sequence. If both s and sep are empty, Split returns an empty slice.

It is equivalent to SplitN with a count of -1.

To split around the first instance of a separator, see Cut.

func SplitAfter

func SplitAfter(s string, sep string) []string

SplitAfter slices s into all substrings after each instance of sep and returns a slice of those substrings.

If s does not contain sep and sep is not empty, SplitAfter returns a slice of length 1 whose only element is s.

If sep is empty, SplitAfter splits after each UTF-8 sequence. If both s and sep are empty, SplitAfter returns an empty slice.

It is equivalent to SplitAfterN with a count of -1.

func SplitAfterN

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

SplitAfterN slices s into substrings after each instance of sep and returns a slice of those substrings.

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.

Edge cases for s and sep (for example, empty strings) are handled as described in the documentation for SplitAfter.

func SplitAfterSeq

func SplitAfterSeq(s string, sep string) iter.Seq[string]

SplitAfterSeq returns an iterator over substrings of s split after each instance of sep. The iterator yields the same strings that would be returned by SplitAfter(s, sep), but without constructing the slice. It returns a single-use iterator.

func SplitN

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

SplitN slices s into substrings separated by sep and returns a slice of the substrings between those separators.

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.

Edge cases for s and sep (for example, empty strings) are handled as described in the documentation for Split.

To split around the first instance of a separator, see Cut.

func SplitSeq

func SplitSeq(s string, sep string) iter.Seq[string]

SplitSeq returns an iterator over all substrings of s separated by sep. The iterator yields the same strings that would be returned by Split(s, sep), but without constructing the slice. It returns a single-use iterator.

func Title deprecated

func Title(s string) string

Title returns a copy of the string s with all Unicode letters that begin words mapped to their Unicode title case.

Types

type Builder

type Builder = strings.Builder

A Builder is used to efficiently build a string using [Builder.Write] methods. It minimizes memory copying. The zero value is ready to use. Do not copy a non-zero Builder.

type Reader

type Reader = strings.Reader

A Reader implements the io.Reader, io.ReaderAt, io.ByteReader, io.ByteScanner, io.RuneReader, io.RuneScanner, io.Seeker, and io.WriterTo interfaces by reading from a string. The zero value for Reader operates like a Reader of an empty string.

type Replacer

type Replacer = strings.Replacer

Replacer replaces a list of strings with replacements. It is safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines.
