func Clone 1.18

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.

Example

Code:

s := "abc"
clone := strings.Clone(s)
fmt.Println(s == clone)
fmt.Println(unsafe.StringData(s) == unsafe.StringData(clone))

Output:

true
false

func Compare 1.5

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.

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.

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(strings.Compare("a", "b"))
fmt.Println(strings.Compare("a", "a"))
fmt.Println(strings.Compare("b", "a"))

Output:

-1
0
1

func Contains

func Contains(s, substr string) bool

Contains reports whether substr is within s.

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(strings.Contains("seafood", "foo"))
fmt.Println(strings.Contains("seafood", "bar"))
fmt.Println(strings.Contains("seafood", ""))
fmt.Println(strings.Contains("", ""))

Output:

true
false
true
true

func ContainsAny

func ContainsAny(s, chars string) bool

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

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("team", "i"))
fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("fail", "ui"))
fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("ure", "ui"))
fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("failure", "ui"))
fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("foo", ""))
fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("", ""))

Output:

false
true
true
true
false
false

func ContainsFunc 1.21

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

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

Example

Code:

f := func(r rune) bool {
    return r == 'a' || r == 'e' || r == 'i' || r == 'o' || r == 'u'
}
fmt.Println(strings.ContainsFunc("hello", f))
fmt.Println(strings.ContainsFunc("rhythms", f))

Output:

true
false

func ContainsRune

func ContainsRune(s string, r rune) bool

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

Example

Code:

// Finds whether a string contains a particular Unicode code point.
// The code point for the lowercase letter "a", for example, is 97.
fmt.Println(strings.ContainsRune("aardvark", 97))
fmt.Println(strings.ContainsRune("timeout", 97))

Output:

true
false

func Count

func Count(s, 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.

Example

Code:

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

Output:

3
5

func Cut 1.18

func Cut(s, sep string) (before, 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.

Example

Code:

show := func(s, sep string) {
    before, after, found := strings.Cut(s, sep)
    fmt.Printf("Cut(%q, %q) = %q, %q, %v\n", s, sep, before, after, found)
}
show("Gopher", "Go")
show("Gopher", "ph")
show("Gopher", "er")
show("Gopher", "Badger")

Output:

Cut("Gopher", "Go") = "", "pher", true
Cut("Gopher", "ph") = "Go", "er", true
Cut("Gopher", "er") = "Goph", "", true
Cut("Gopher", "Badger") = "Gopher", "", false

func CutPrefix 1.20

func CutPrefix(s, 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.

Example

Code:

show := func(s, sep string) {
    after, found := strings.CutPrefix(s, sep)
    fmt.Printf("CutPrefix(%q, %q) = %q, %v\n", s, sep, after, found)
}
show("Gopher", "Go")
show("Gopher", "ph")

Output:

CutPrefix("Gopher", "Go") = "pher", true
CutPrefix("Gopher", "ph") = "Gopher", false

func CutSuffix 1.20

func CutSuffix(s, 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.

Example

Code:

show := func(s, sep string) {
    before, found := strings.CutSuffix(s, sep)
    fmt.Printf("CutSuffix(%q, %q) = %q, %v\n", s, sep, before, found)
}
show("Gopher", "Go")
show("Gopher", "er")

Output:

CutSuffix("Gopher", "Go") = "Gopher", false
CutSuffix("Gopher", "er") = "Goph", true

func EqualFold

func EqualFold(s, 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.

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("Go", "go"))
fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("AB", "ab")) // true because comparison uses simple case-folding
fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("ß", "ss"))  // false because comparison does not use full case-folding

Output:

true
true
false

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.

Example

Code:

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

Output:

Fields are: ["foo" "bar" "baz"]

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.

Example

Code:

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

Output:

Fields are: ["foo1" "bar2" "baz3"]

func HasPrefix

func HasPrefix(s, prefix string) bool

HasPrefix reports whether the string s begins with prefix.

Example

Code:

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

Output:

true
false
true

func HasSuffix

func HasSuffix(s, suffix string) bool

HasSuffix reports whether the string s ends with suffix.

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "go"))
fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "O"))
fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "Ami"))
fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", ""))

Output:

true
false
false
true

func Index

    case r >= 'A' && r <= 'Z':
        return 'A' + (r-'A'+13)%26
    case r >= 'a' && r <= 'z':
        return 'a' + (r-'a'+13)%26
    }

banana

func Replace

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

Code:

fmt.Println(strings.Replace("oink oink oink", "k", "ky", 2))

func Split

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 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.

Example

Code:

fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split("a,b,c", ","))
fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split("a man a plan a canal panama", "a "))
fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split(" xyz ", ""))
fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split("", "Bernardo O'Higgins"))

["" "man " "plan " "canal panama"]
[" " "x" "y" "z" " "]
[""]

func SplitAfter

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 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.

Example

Code:

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

Output:

["a," "b," "c"]

func SplitAfterN

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.

The count determines the number of substrings to return:

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

Example

Code:

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

Output:

["a," "b,c"]

func SplitN

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.

The count determines the number of substrings to return:

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.

Example

Code:

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)

Output:

["a" "b,c"]
[] (nil = true)

func Title

Grow grows b's capacity, if necessary, to guarantee space for another n bytes. After Grow(n), at least n bytes can be written to b without another allocation. If n is negative, Grow panics.

func (*Builder) Len 1.10

func (b *Builder) Len() int

Len returns the number of accumulated bytes; b.Len() == len(b.String()).

func (*Builder) Reset 1.10

func (b *Builder) Reset()

Reset resets the Builder to be empty.

func (*Builder) String 1.10

func (b *Builder) String() string

String returns the accumulated string.

func (*Builder) Write 1.10

func (b *Builder) Write(p []byte) (int, error)

Write appends the contents of p to b's buffer. Write always returns len(p), nil.

func (*Builder) WriteByte 1.10

func (b *Builder) WriteByte(c byte) error

WriteByte appends the byte c to b's buffer. The returned error is always nil.

func (*Builder) WriteRune 1.10

func (b *Builder) WriteRune(r rune) (int, error)

WriteRune appends the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode code point r to b's buffer. It returns the length of r and a nil error.

func (*Builder) WriteString 1.10

func (b *Builder) WriteString(s string) (int, error)

WriteString appends the contents of s to b's buffer. It returns the length of s and a nil error.

type 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 Reader struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func NewReader

func NewReader(s string) *Reader

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

func (*Reader) Len

func (r *Reader) Len() int

Len returns the number of bytes of the unread portion of the string.

func (*Reader) Read

func (r *Reader) Read(b []byte) (n int, err error)

Read implements the io.Reader interface.

func (*Reader) ReadAt

func (r *Reader) ReadAt(b []byte, off int64) (n int, err error)

ReadAt implements the io.ReaderAt interface.

func (*Reader) ReadByte

func (r *Reader) ReadByte() (byte, error)

ReadByte implements the io.ByteReader interface.

func (*Reader) ReadRune

func (r *Reader) ReadRune() (ch rune, size int, err error)

ReadRune implements the io.RuneReader interface.

func (*Reader) Reset 1.7

func (r *Reader) Reset(s string)

Reset resets the Reader to be reading from s.

func (*Reader) Seek

func (r *Reader) Seek(offset int64, whence int) (int64, error)

Seek implements the io.Seeker interface.

func (*Reader) Size 1.5

func (r *Reader) Size() int64

Size returns the original length of the underlying string. Size is the number of bytes available for reading via Reader.ReadAt. The returned value is always the same and is not affected by calls to any other method.

func (*Reader) UnreadByte

func (r *Reader) UnreadByte() error

UnreadByte implements the io.ByteScanner interface.

func (*Reader) UnreadRune

func (r *Reader) UnreadRune() error

UnreadRune implements the io.RuneScanner interface.

func (*Reader) WriteTo 1.1

func (r *Reader) WriteTo(w io.Writer) (n int64, err error)

WriteTo implements the io.WriterTo interface.

type Replacer

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

type Replacer struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func NewReplacer

func NewReplacer(oldnew ...string) *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.

Example

Code:

r := strings.NewReplacer("<", "&lt;", ">", "&gt;")
fmt.Println(r.Replace("This is <b>HTML</b>!"))

Output:

This is &lt;b&gt;HTML&lt;/b&gt;!

func (*Replacer) Replace

func (r *Replacer) Replace(s string) string

Replace returns a copy of s with all replacements performed.

func (*Replacer) WriteString

func (r *Replacer) WriteString(w io.Writer, s string) (n int, err error)

WriteString writes s to w with all replacements performed.
