<brief_description>
|
|
A built-in type for unique strings.
|
|
</brief_description>
|
|
<description>
|
|
[StringName]s are immutable strings designed for general-purpose representation of unique names (also called "string interning"). Two [StringName]s with the same value are the same object. Comparing them is extremely fast compared to regular [String]s.
|
|
You will usually pass a [String] to methods expecting a [StringName] and it will be automatically converted (often at compile time), but in rare cases you can construct a [StringName] ahead of time with the [StringName] constructor or, in GDScript, the literal syntax [code]&"example"[/code]. Manually constructing a [StringName] allows you to control when the conversion from [String] occurs or to use the literal and prevent conversions entirely.
|
|
See also [NodePath], which is a similar concept specifically designed to store pre-parsed scene tree paths.
|
|
All of [String]'s methods are available in this class too. They convert the [StringName] into a string, and they also return a string. This is highly inefficient and should only be used if the string is desired.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] In C#, an explicit conversion to [code]System.String[/code] is required to use the methods listed on this page. Use the [code]ToString()[/code] method to cast a [StringName] to a string, and then use the equivalent methods in [code]System.String[/code] or [code]StringExtensions[/code].
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] In a boolean context, a [StringName] will evaluate to [code]false[/code] if it is empty ([code]StringName("")[/code]). Otherwise, a [StringName] will always evaluate to [code]true[/code]. The [code]not[/code] operator cannot be used. Instead, [method is_empty] should be used to check for empty [StringName]s.

<param index="0" name="to" type="String" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Performs a case-sensitive comparison to another string. Returns [code]-1[/code] if less than, [code]1[/code] if greater than, or [code]0[/code] if equal. "Less than" and "greater than" are determined by the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters]Unicode code points[/url] of each string, which roughly matches the alphabetical order.
|
|
With different string lengths, returns [code]1[/code] if this string is longer than the [param to] string, or [code]-1[/code] if shorter. Note that the length of empty strings is [i]always[/i] [code]0[/code].
|
|
To get a [bool] result from a string comparison, use the [code]==[/code] operator instead. See also [method nocasecmp_to], [method filecasecmp_to], and [method naturalcasecmp_to].

<param index="0" name="values" type="Variant" />

<param index="1" name="placeholder" type="String" default=""{_}"" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Formats the string by replacing all occurrences of [param placeholder] with the elements of [param values].
|
|
[param values] can be a [Dictionary] or an [Array]. Any underscores in [param placeholder] will be replaced with the corresponding keys in advance. Array elements use their index as keys.
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
# Prints "Waiting for Godot is a play by Samuel Beckett, and Godot Engine is named after it."
|
|
var use_array_values = "Waiting for {0} is a play by {1}, and {0} Engine is named after it."
|
|
print(use_array_values.format(["Godot", "Samuel Beckett"]))
|
|
|
|
# Prints "User 42 is Godot."
|
|
print("User {id} is {name}.".format({"id": 42, "name": "Godot"}))
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
Some additional handling is performed when [param values] is an [Array]. If [param placeholder] does not contain an underscore, the elements of the [param values] array will be used to replace one occurrence of the placeholder in order; If an element of [param values] is another 2-element array, it'll be interpreted as a key-value pair.
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
# Prints "User 42 is Godot."
|
|
print("User {} is {}.".format([42, "Godot"], "{}"))
|
|
print("User {id} is {name}.".format([["id", 42], ["name", "Godot"]]))

<description>
|
|
Performs a [b]case-sensitive[/b], [i]natural order[/i] comparison to another string. Returns [code]-1[/code] if less than, [code]1[/code] if greater than, or [code]0[/code] if equal. "Less than" or "greater than" are determined by the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters]Unicode code points[/url] of each string, which roughly matches the alphabetical order.
|
|
When used for sorting, natural order comparison orders sequences of numbers by the combined value of each digit as is often expected, instead of the single digit's value. A sorted sequence of numbered strings will be [code]["1", "2", "3", ...][/code], not [code]["1", "10", "2", "3", ...][/code].
|
|
With different string lengths, returns [code]1[/code] if this string is longer than the [param to] string, or [code]-1[/code] if shorter. Note that the length of empty strings is [i]always[/i] [code]0[/code].
|
|
To get a [bool] result from a string comparison, use the [code]==[/code] operator instead. See also [method naturalnocasecmp_to], [method filecasecmp_to], and [method nocasecmp_to].

<description>
|
|
Splits the string using a [param delimiter] and returns an array of the substrings. If [param delimiter] is an empty string, each substring will be a single character. This method is the opposite of [method join].
|
|
If [param allow_empty] is [code]false[/code], empty strings between adjacent delimiters are excluded from the array.
|
|
If [param maxsplit] is greater than [code]0[/code], the number of splits may not exceed [param maxsplit]. By default, the entire string is split.
|
|
[b]Example:[/b]
|
|
[codeblocks]
|
|
[gdscript]
|
|
var some_array = "One,Two,Three,Four".split(",", true, 2)
|
|
|
|
print(some_array.size()) # Prints 3
|
|
print(some_array[0]) # Prints "One"
|
|
print(some_array[1]) # Prints "Two"
|
|
print(some_array[2]) # Prints "Three,Four"
|
|
[/gdscript]
|
|
[csharp]
|
|
// C#'s `Split()` does not support the `maxsplit` parameter.
|
|
var someArray = "One,Two,Three".Split(",");
|
|
|
|
GD.Print(someArray[0]); // Prints "One"
|
|
GD.Print(someArray[1]); // Prints "Two"
|
|
GD.Print(someArray[2]); // Prints "Three"
|
|
[/csharp]
|
|
[/codeblocks]
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] If you only need one substring from the array, consider using [method get_slice] which is faster. If you need to split strings with more complex rules, use the [RegEx] class instead.
