String operations.
val length : string -> int
Return the length (number of characters) of the given string.
val 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 .
val 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 .
val 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 .
val 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 .
val 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 .
Since 4.02.0
val copy : string -> string
Return a copy of the given string.
val 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 .
val 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 .
val 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 .
val concat : sep:string -> string list -> string
String.concat sep sl concatenates the list of strings sl , inserting the separator string
sep between each.
val 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]; () .
val 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
val 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
val 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
val 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
val 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.
val 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 .
val index_opt : string -> char -> int option
String.index_opt s c returns the index of the first occurrence of character c in string s
, or None if c does not occur in s .
Since 4.05
val 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 .
val rindex_opt : string -> char -> int option
String.rindex_opt s c returns the index of the last occurrence of character c in string s
, or None if c does not occur in s .
Since 4.05
val 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 .
val index_from_opt : string -> int -> char -> int option
String.index_from_opt s i c returns the index of the first occurrence of character c in
string s after position i or None if c does not occur in s after position i .
String.index_opt s c is equivalent to String.index_from_opt s 0 c . Raise
Invalid_argument if i is not a valid position in s .
Since 4.05
val 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 .
val rindex_from_opt : string -> int -> char -> int option
String.rindex_from_opt s i c returns the index of the last occurrence of character c in
string s before position i+1 or None if c does not occur in s before position i+1 .
String.rindex_opt s c is equivalent to String.rindex_from_opt s (String.length s - 1) c .
Raise Invalid_argument if i+1 is not a valid position in s .
Since 4.05
val contains : string -> char -> bool
String.contains s c tests if character c appears in the string s .
val 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 .
val 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 .
val uppercase : string -> string
Deprecated. Functions operating on Latin-1 character set are deprecated.
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.
val lowercase : string -> string
Deprecated. Functions operating on Latin-1 character set are deprecated.
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.
val capitalize : string -> string
Deprecated. Functions operating on Latin-1 character set are deprecated.
Return a copy of the argument, with the first character set to uppercase, using the ISO
Latin-1 (8859-1) character set..
val uncapitalize : string -> string
Deprecated. Functions operating on Latin-1 character set are deprecated.
Return a copy of the argument, with the first character set to lowercase, using the ISO
Latin-1 (8859-1) character set..
val uppercase_ascii : string -> string
Return a copy of the argument, with all lowercase letters translated to uppercase, using
the US-ASCII character set.
Since 4.05.0
val lowercase_ascii : string -> string

the US-ASCII character set.
Since 4.05.0
val capitalize_ascii : string -> string
Return a copy of the argument, with the first character set to uppercase, using the
US-ASCII character set.
Since 4.05.0
val uncapitalize_ascii : string -> string
Return a copy of the argument, with the first character set to lowercase, using the
US-ASCII character set.
Since 4.05.0
type t = string
An alias for the type of strings.
val 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 .
val equal : t -> t -> bool
The equal function for strings.
Since 4.05.0
val split_on_char : sep:char -> string -> string list
String.split_on_char sep s returns the list of all (possibly empty) substrings of s that
are delimited by the sep character.
The function's output is specified by the following invariants:
-The list is not empty.
-Concatenating its elements using sep as a separator returns a string equal to the input (
String.concat (String.make 1 sep) (String.split_on_char sep s) = s ).
-No string in the result contains the sep character.
Since 4.05.0
