String Functions
String functions build, inspect, compare, and transform character strings, including regular-expression matching, splitting, and replacement.| codepoints-to-string((66, 65, 67, 72)) | BACH |
| string-to-codepoints("BACH") | (66, 65, 67, 72) |
| compare("ABC","AAB") | 1 |
| codepoint-equal("ABC","ABC ") | false |
| concat("AB","CD") | ABCD |
| "AB"||"CD" | ABCD |
| string-join(('A','B','C'),'-') | A-B-C |
| substring("ABCDE",2,3) | BCD |
| string-length("ABCDE") | 5 |
| normalize-space('A B C') | A B C |
| normalize-unicode('ABC') | ABC |
| upper-case('Abc') | ABC |
| lower-case('Abc') | abc |
| translate("bar","abc","ABC") | BAr |
| contains("ABCDE","CD") | true |
| starts-with("ABCDE","ABC") | true |
| ends-with("ABCDE","cde") | true |
| substring-before("ABCDE","CDE") | AB |
| substring-after("ABCDE","B") | CDE |
| matches("ABCDE","^A.C.E$") | true |
| replace("abracadabra", "bra", "*") | a*cada* |
| tokenize("AB,CD,E",",") | ('AB','CD','E') |
analyze-string("The cat sat on the mat.", "\w+") matches every run of word characters against the non-matching text around it, and returns:
