include module type of String

Strings

type t = string

The type for strings.

val make : int -> char -> string

make n c is a string of length n with each index holding the character c.

raises Invalid_argument
if n < 0 or n > Sys.max_string_length.

val init : int -> (int -> char) -> string

init n f is a string of length n with index i holding the character f i (called in increasing index order).

raises Invalid_argument
if n < 0 or n > Sys.max_string_length.

since 4.02

val empty : string

The empty string.

since 4.13

val length : string -> int

length s is the length (number of bytes/characters) of s.

val get : string -> int -> char

since 4.13

val to_bytes : string -> bytes

Return a new byte sequence that contains the same bytes as the given string.

since 4.13

val blit : string -> int -> bytes -> int -> int -> unit

Concatenating

Note. The Stdlib.(^) binary operator concatenates two strings.

val concat : string -> string list -> string

concat sep ss concatenates the list of strings ss, inserting the separator string sep between each.

raises Invalid_argument
if the result is longer than Sys.max_string_length bytes.

val cat : string -> string -> string

cat s1 s2 concatenates s1 and s2 (s1 ^ s2).

raises Invalid_argument
if the result is longer than Sys.max_string_length bytes.

Predicates and comparisons

val equal : t -> t -> bool

equal s0 s1 is true if and only if s0 and s1 are character-wise equal.

since 4.03 (4.05 in StringLabels)

val compare : t -> t -> int

Extracting substrings

val sub : string -> int -> int -> string

sub s pos len is a string of length len, containing the substring of s that starts at position pos and has length len.

raises Invalid_argument
if pos and len do not designate a valid substring of s.

val split_on_char : char -> string -> string list

split_on_char sep s is the list of all (possibly empty) substrings of s that are delimited by the character sep.

The function's result 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 (concat (make 1 sep) (split_on_char sep s) = s).
No string in the result contains the sep character.

Binary decoding of integers

The functions in this section binary decode integers from strings.

All following functions raise Invalid_argument if the characters needed at index i to decode the integer are not available.

Little-endian (resp. big-endian) encoding means that least (resp. most) significant bytes are stored first. Big-endian is also known as network byte order. Native-endian encoding is either little-endian or big-endian depending on Sys.big_endian.

32-bit and 64-bit integers are represented by the int32 and int64 types, which can be interpreted either as signed or unsigned numbers.

8-bit and 16-bit integers are represented by the int type, which has more bits than the binary encoding. These extra bits are sign-extended (or zero-extended) for functions which decode 8-bit or 16-bit integers and represented them with int values.
