Description | |||||||||||||||||||
This module provides various helpful utilities for dealing with strings. Written by John Goerzen, jgoerzen@complete.org | |||||||||||||||||||
Synopsis | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||
Whitespace Removal | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||
Removes any whitespace characters that are present at the start or end of a string. Does not alter the internal contents of a string. If no whitespace characters are present at the start or end of a string, returns the original string unmodified. Safe to use on any string. Note that this may differ from some other similar functions from other authors in that: 1. If multiple whitespace characters are present all in a row, they are all removed; 2. If no whitespace characters are present, nothing is done. | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||
Same as strip, but applies only to the left side of the string. | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||
Same as strip, but applies only to the right side of the string. | |||||||||||||||||||
Tests | |||||||||||||||||||
Note: These functions are aliases for functions in Data.List.Utils. | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||
Returns true if the given list starts with the specified elements; false otherwise. (This is an alias for Data.List.isPrefixOf.) Example: startswith "He" "Hello" -> True | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||
Returns true if the given list ends with the specified elements; false otherwise. (This is an alias for Data.List.isSuffixOf.) Example: endswith "lo" "Hello" -> True | |||||||||||||||||||
Conversions | |||||||||||||||||||
Note: Some of these functions are aliases for functions in Data.List.Utils. | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||
Given a delimiter and a list of items (or strings), join the items by using the delimiter. Example: join "|" ["foo", "bar", "baz"] -> "foo|bar|baz" | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||
Given a delimiter and a list (or string), split into components. Example: split "," "foo,bar,,baz," -> ["foo", "bar", "", "baz", ""] split "ba" ",foo,bar,,baz," -> [",foo,","r,,","z,"] | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||
Splits a string around whitespace. Empty elements in the result list are automatically removed. | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||
Given a list and a replacement list, replaces each occurance of the search list with the replacement list in the operation list. Example: replace "," "." "127,0,0,1" -> "127.0.0.1" This could logically be thought of as: replace old new l = join new . split old $ l | |||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||
Escape all characters in the input pattern that are not alphanumeric. Does not make special allowances for NULL, which isn't valid in a Haskell regular expression pattern. | |||||||||||||||||||
