Built-in string class.
|
|
</brief_description>
|
|
<description>
|
|
This is the built-in string class (and the one used by GDScript). It supports Unicode and provides all necessary means for string handling. Strings are reference-counted and use a copy-on-write approach, so passing them around is cheap in resources.

|
<description>

|
|
<method name="capitalize">
|
|
<return type="String" />
|
|
<description>

<method name="casecmp_to">

|
<return type="int" />
|
|
<argument 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" 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.
|
|
[b]Behavior with different string lengths:[/b] Returns [code]1[/code] if the "base" string is longer than the [code]to[/code] string or [code]-1[/code] if the "base" string is shorter than the [code]to[/code] string. Keep in mind this length is determined by the number of Unicode codepoints, [i]not[/i] the actual visible characters.
|
|
[b]Behavior with empty strings:[/b] Returns [code]-1[/code] if the "base" string is empty, [code]1[/code] if the [code]to[/code] string is empty or [code]0[/code] if both strings are empty.
|
|
To get a boolean result from a string comparison, use the [code]==[/code] operator instead. See also [method nocasecmp_to].

|
</method>
|
|
<method name="get_basename">

|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
print("/path/to/file.txt".get_extension()) # "txt"
|
|
print("file.txt".get_extension()) # "txt"
|
|
print("file.sample.txt".get_extension()) # "txt"

</method>
|
|
<method name="get_slice">
|
|
<return type="String" />
|
|
<argument index="0" name="delimiter" type="String" />
|
|
<argument index="1" name="slice" type="int" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Splits a string using a [code]delimiter[/code] and returns a substring at index [code]slice[/code]. Returns an empty string if the index doesn't exist.
|
|
This is a more performant alternative to [method split] for cases when you need only one element from the array at a fixed index.
|
|
Example:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
print("i/am/example/string".get_slice("/", 2)) # Prints 'example'.
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
</description>

|
</method>
|
|
<method name="hash">
|
|
<return type="int" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Returns the 32-bit hash value representing the string's contents.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] [String]s with equal content will always produce identical hash values. However, the reverse is not true. Returning identical hash values does [i]not[/i] imply the strings are equal, because different strings can have identical hash values due to hash collisions.
|
|
</description>
|
|
</method>
|
|
<method name="hex_to_int">

|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
print("0xff".hex_to_int()) # Print "255"
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
</description>
|
|
</method>
|
|
<method name="http_escape">
|
|

</method>
|
|
<method name="http_unescape">

|
|
<description>
|
|
Converts [code]size[/code] represented as number of bytes to human-readable format using internationalized set of data size units, namely: B, KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, PiB, EiB. Note that the next smallest unit is picked automatically to hold at most 1024 units.
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
var bytes = 133790307
|
|
var size = String.humanize_size(bytes)
|
|
print(size) # prints "127.5 MiB"

|
|
<method name="indent">
|
|
<return type="String" />
|
|
<argument index="0" name="prefix" type="String" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Returns a copy of the string with lines indented with [code]prefix[/code].
|
|
For example, the string can be indented with two tabs using [code]"\t\t"[/code], or four spaces using [code]" "[/code]. The prefix can be any string so it can also be used to comment out strings with e.g. [code]"# "[/code]. See also [method dedent] to remove indentation.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] Empty lines are kept empty.

|
|
<description>
|
|
Performs a case-insensitive [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. Internally, lowercase characters will be converted to uppercase during the comparison.
|
|
When used for sorting, natural order comparison will order suites of numbers as expected by most people. If you sort the numbers from 1 to 10 using natural order, you will get [code][1, 2, 3, ...][/code] instead of [code][1, 10, 2, 3, ...][/code].
|
|
[b]Behavior with different string lengths:[/b] Returns [code]1[/code] if the "base" string is longer than the [code]to[/code] string or [code]-1[/code] if the "base" string is shorter than the [code]to[/code] string. Keep in mind this length is determined by the number of Unicode codepoints, [i]not[/i] the actual visible characters.
|
|
[b]Behavior with empty strings:[/b] Returns [code]-1[/code] if the "base" string is empty, [code]1[/code] if the [code]to[/code] string is empty or [code]0[/code] if both strings are empty.
|
|
To get a boolean result from a string comparison, use the [code]==[/code] operator instead. See also [method nocasecmp_to] and [method casecmp_to].

<description>
|
|
Splits the string by a [code]delimiter[/code] string and returns an array of the substrings, starting from right.
|
|
The splits in the returned array are sorted in the same order as the original string, from left to right.
|
|
If [code]maxsplit[/code] is specified, it defines the number of splits to do from the right up to [code]maxsplit[/code]. The default value of 0 means that all items are split, thus giving the same result as [method split].
|
|
Example:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
var some_string = "One,Two,Three,Four"
|
|
var some_array = some_string.rsplit(",", true, 1)

|
|
<description>
|
|
Splits the string by a [code]delimiter[/code] string and returns an array of the substrings. The [code]delimiter[/code] can be of any length.
|
|
If [code]maxsplit[/code] is specified, it defines the number of splits to do from the left up to [code]maxsplit[/code]. The default value of [code]0[/code] means that all items are split.
|
|
If you need only one element from the array at a specific index, [method get_slice] is a more performant option.
|
|
Example:
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
var some_string = "One,Two,Three,Four"
|
|
var some_array = some_string.split(",", true, 1)
|
|
print(some_array.size()) # Prints 2
|
|
print(some_array[0]) # Prints "One"
|
|
print(some_array[1]) # Prints "Two,Three,Four"
|

If you need to split strings with more complex rules, use the [RegEx] class instead.
