Struct bytestring::ByteString [−][src]
pub struct ByteString(_);
Expand description
An immutable UTF-8 encoded string with Bytes
as a storage.
Implementations
Unwraps this ByteString
into the underlying Bytes
object.
Creates a new ByteString
from a &'static str
.
Creates a new ByteString
from a Bytes.
Safety
This function is unsafe because it does not check the bytes passed to it are valid UTF-8.
If this constraint is violated, it may cause memory unsafety issues with future users of
the ByteString
, as we assume that ByteString
s are valid UTF-8. However, the most likely
issue is that the data gets corrupted.
Methods from Deref<Target = str>
Returns the length of self
.
This length is in bytes, not char
s or graphemes. In other words,
it might not be what a human considers the length of the string.
Examples
Basic usage:
let len = "foo".len();
assert_eq!(3, len);
assert_eq!("ƒoo".len(), 4); // fancy f!
assert_eq!("ƒoo".chars().count(), 3);
Returns true
if self
has a length of zero bytes.
Examples
Basic usage:
let s = "";
assert!(s.is_empty());
let s = "not empty";
assert!(!s.is_empty());
Checks that index
-th byte is the first byte in a UTF-8 code point
sequence or the end of the string.
The start and end of the string (when index == self.len()
) are
considered to be boundaries.
Returns false
if index
is greater than self.len()
.
Examples
let s = "Löwe 老虎 Léopard";
assert!(s.is_char_boundary(0));
// start of `老`
assert!(s.is_char_boundary(6));
assert!(s.is_char_boundary(s.len()));
// second byte of `ö`
assert!(!s.is_char_boundary(2));
// third byte of `老`
assert!(!s.is_char_boundary(8));
Converts a string slice to a raw pointer.
As string slices are a slice of bytes, the raw pointer points to a
u8
. This pointer will be pointing to the first byte of the string
slice.
The caller must ensure that the returned pointer is never written to.
If you need to mutate the contents of the string slice, use as_mut_ptr
.
Examples
Basic usage:
let s = "Hello";
let ptr = s.as_ptr();
1.20.0[src]pub fn get<I>(&self, i: I) -> Option<&<I as SliceIndex<str>>::Output> where
I: SliceIndex<str>,
pub fn get<I>(&self, i: I) -> Option<&<I as SliceIndex<str>>::Output> where
I: SliceIndex<str>,
Returns a subslice of str
.
This is the non-panicking alternative to indexing the str
. Returns
None
whenever equivalent indexing operation would panic.
Examples
let v = String::from("🗻∈🌏");
assert_eq!(Some("🗻"), v.get(0..4));
// indices not on UTF-8 sequence boundaries
assert!(v.get(1..).is_none());
assert!(v.get(..8).is_none());
// out of bounds
assert!(v.get(..42).is_none());
1.20.0[src]pub unsafe fn get_unchecked<I>(&self, i: I) -> &<I as SliceIndex<str>>::Output where
I: SliceIndex<str>,
pub unsafe fn get_unchecked<I>(&self, i: I) -> &<I as SliceIndex<str>>::Output where
I: SliceIndex<str>,
Returns an unchecked subslice of str
.
This is the unchecked alternative to indexing the str
.
Safety
Callers of this function are responsible that these preconditions are satisfied:
- The starting index must not exceed the ending index;
- Indexes must be within bounds of the original slice;
- Indexes must lie on UTF-8 sequence boundaries.
Failing that, the returned string slice may reference invalid memory or
violate the invariants communicated by the str
type.
Examples
let v = "🗻∈🌏";
unsafe {
assert_eq!("🗻", v.get_unchecked(0..4));
assert_eq!("∈", v.get_unchecked(4..7));
assert_eq!("🌏", v.get_unchecked(7..11));
}
👎 Deprecated since 1.29.0: use get_unchecked(begin..end)
instead
use get_unchecked(begin..end)
instead
Creates a string slice from another string slice, bypassing safety checks.
This is generally not recommended, use with caution! For a safe
alternative see str
and Index
.
This new slice goes from begin
to end
, including begin
but
excluding end
.
To get a mutable string slice instead, see the
slice_mut_unchecked
method.
Safety
Callers of this function are responsible that three preconditions are satisfied:
begin
must not exceedend
.begin
andend
must be byte positions within the string slice.begin
andend
must lie on UTF-8 sequence boundaries.
Examples
Basic usage:
let s = "Löwe 老虎 Léopard";
unsafe {
assert_eq!("Löwe 老虎 Léopard", s.slice_unchecked(0, 21));
}
let s = "Hello, world!";
unsafe {
assert_eq!("world", s.slice_unchecked(7, 12));
}
Divide one string slice into two at an index.
The argument, mid
, should be a byte offset from the start of the
string. It must also be on the boundary of a UTF-8 code point.
The two slices returned go from the start of the string slice to mid
,
and from mid
to the end of the string slice.
To get mutable string slices instead, see the split_at_mut
method.
Panics
Panics if mid
is not on a UTF-8 code point boundary, or if it is
past the end of the last code point of the string slice.
Examples
Basic usage:
let s = "Per Martin-Löf";
let (first, last) = s.split_at(3);
assert_eq!("Per", first);
assert_eq!(" Martin-Löf", last);
Returns an iterator over the char
s of a string slice.
As a string slice consists of valid UTF-8, we can iterate through a
string slice by char
. This method returns such an iterator.
It’s important to remember that char
represents a Unicode Scalar
Value, and might not match your idea of what a ‘character’ is. Iteration
over grapheme clusters may be what you actually want. This functionality
is not provided by Rust’s standard library, check crates.io instead.
Examples
Basic usage:
let word = "goodbye";
let count = word.chars().count();
assert_eq!(7, count);
let mut chars = word.chars();
assert_eq!(Some('g'), chars.next());
assert_eq!(Some('o'), chars.next());
assert_eq!(Some('o'), chars.next());
assert_eq!(Some('d'), chars.next());
assert_eq!(Some('b'), chars.next());
assert_eq!(Some('y'), chars.next());
assert_eq!(Some('e'), chars.next());
assert_eq!(None, chars.next());
Remember, char
s might not match your intuition about characters:
let y = "y̆";
let mut chars = y.chars();
assert_eq!(Some('y'), chars.next()); // not 'y̆'
assert_eq!(Some('\u{0306}'), chars.next());
assert_eq!(None, chars.next());
Returns an iterator over the char
s of a string slice, and their
positions.
As a string slice consists of valid UTF-8, we can iterate through a
string slice by char
. This method returns an iterator of both
these char
s, as well as their byte positions.
The iterator yields tuples. The position is first, the char
is
second.
Examples
Basic usage:
let word = "goodbye";
let count = word.char_indices().count();
assert_eq!(7, count);
let mut char_indices = word.char_indices();
assert_eq!(Some((0, 'g')), char_indices.next());
assert_eq!(Some((1, 'o')), char_indices.next());
assert_eq!(Some((2, 'o')), char_indices.next());
assert_eq!(Some((3, 'd')), char_indices.next());
assert_eq!(Some((4, 'b')), char_indices.next());
assert_eq!(Some((5, 'y')), char_indices.next());
assert_eq!(Some((6, 'e')), char_indices.next());
assert_eq!(None, char_indices.next());
Remember, char
s might not match your intuition about characters:
let yes = "y̆es";
let mut char_indices = yes.char_indices();
assert_eq!(Some((0, 'y')), char_indices.next()); // not (0, 'y̆')
assert_eq!(Some((1, '\u{0306}')), char_indices.next());
// note the 3 here - the last character took up two bytes
assert_eq!(Some((3, 'e')), char_indices.next());
assert_eq!(Some((4, 's')), char_indices.next());
assert_eq!(None, char_indices.next());
An iterator over the bytes of a string slice.
As a string slice consists of a sequence of bytes, we can iterate through a string slice by byte. This method returns such an iterator.
Examples
Basic usage:
let mut bytes = "bors".bytes();
assert_eq!(Some(b'b'), bytes.next());
assert_eq!(Some(b'o'), bytes.next());
assert_eq!(Some(b'r'), bytes.next());
assert_eq!(Some(b's'), bytes.next());
assert_eq!(None, bytes.next());
Splits a string slice by whitespace.
The iterator returned will return string slices that are sub-slices of the original string slice, separated by any amount of whitespace.
‘Whitespace’ is defined according to the terms of the Unicode Derived
Core Property White_Space
. If you only want to split on ASCII whitespace
instead, use split_ascii_whitespace
.
Examples
Basic usage:
let mut iter = "A few words".split_whitespace();
assert_eq!(Some("A"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(Some("few"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(Some("words"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(None, iter.next());
All kinds of whitespace are considered:
let mut iter = " Mary had\ta\u{2009}little \n\t lamb".split_whitespace();
assert_eq!(Some("Mary"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(Some("had"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(Some("a"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(Some("little"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(Some("lamb"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(None, iter.next());
Splits a string slice by ASCII whitespace.
The iterator returned will return string slices that are sub-slices of the original string slice, separated by any amount of ASCII whitespace.
To split by Unicode Whitespace
instead, use split_whitespace
.
Examples
Basic usage:
let mut iter = "A few words".split_ascii_whitespace();
assert_eq!(Some("A"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(Some("few"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(Some("words"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(None, iter.next());
All kinds of ASCII whitespace are considered:
let mut iter = " Mary had\ta little \n\t lamb".split_ascii_whitespace();
assert_eq!(Some("Mary"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(Some("had"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(Some("a"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(Some("little"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(Some("lamb"), iter.next());
assert_eq!(None, iter.next());
An iterator over the lines of a string, as string slices.
Lines are ended with either a newline (\n
) or a carriage return with
a line feed (\r\n
).
The final line ending is optional. A string that ends with a final line ending will return the same lines as an otherwise identical string without a final line ending.
Examples
Basic usage:
let text = "foo\r\nbar\n\nbaz\n";
let mut lines = text.lines();
assert_eq!(Some("foo"), lines.next());
assert_eq!(Some("bar"), lines.next());
assert_eq!(Some(""), lines.next());
assert_eq!(Some("baz"), lines.next());
assert_eq!(None, lines.next());
The final line ending isn’t required:
let text = "foo\nbar\n\r\nbaz";
let mut lines = text.lines();
assert_eq!(Some("foo"), lines.next());
assert_eq!(Some("bar"), lines.next());
assert_eq!(Some(""), lines.next());
assert_eq!(Some("baz"), lines.next());
assert_eq!(None, lines.next());
👎 Deprecated since 1.4.0: use lines() instead now

An iterator over the lines of a string.
Returns an iterator of u16
over the string encoded as UTF-16.
Examples
Basic usage:
let text = "Zażółć gęślą jaźń";
let utf8_len = text.len();
let utf16_len = text.encode_utf16().count();
assert!(utf16_len <= utf8_len);
Returns true
if the given pattern matches a sub-slice of
this string slice.
Returns false
if it does not.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Examples
Basic usage:
let bananas = "bananas";
assert!(bananas.contains("nana"));
assert!(!bananas.contains("apples"));
Returns true
if the given pattern matches a prefix of this
string slice.
Returns false
if it does not.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Examples
Basic usage:
let bananas = "bananas";
assert!(bananas.starts_with("bana"));
assert!(!bananas.starts_with("nana"));
Returns true
if the given pattern matches a suffix of this
string slice.
Returns false
if it does not.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Examples
Basic usage:
let bananas = "bananas";
assert!(bananas.ends_with("anas"));
assert!(!bananas.ends_with("nana"));
Returns the byte index of the first character of this string slice that matches the pattern.
Returns None
if the pattern doesn’t match.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Examples
Simple patterns:
let s = "Löwe 老虎 Léopard Gepardi";
assert_eq!(s.find('L'), Some(0));
assert_eq!(s.find('é'), Some(14));
assert_eq!(s.find("pard"), Some(17));
More complex patterns using point-free style and closures:
let s = "Löwe 老虎 Léopard";
assert_eq!(s.find(char::is_whitespace), Some(5));
assert_eq!(s.find(char::is_lowercase), Some(1));
assert_eq!(s.find(|c: char| c.is_whitespace() || c.is_lowercase()), Some(1));
assert_eq!(s.find(|c: char| (c < 'o') && (c > 'a')), Some(4));
Not finding the pattern:
let s = "Löwe 老虎 Léopard";
let x: &[_] = &['1', '2'];
assert_eq!(s.find(x), None);
Returns the byte index for the first character of the rightmost match of the pattern in this string slice.
Returns None
if the pattern doesn’t match.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Examples
Simple patterns:
let s = "Löwe 老虎 Léopard Gepardi";
assert_eq!(s.rfind('L'), Some(13));
assert_eq!(s.rfind('é'), Some(14));
assert_eq!(s.rfind("pard"), Some(24));
More complex patterns with closures:
let s = "Löwe 老虎 Léopard";
assert_eq!(s.rfind(char::is_whitespace), Some(12));
assert_eq!(s.rfind(char::is_lowercase), Some(20));
Not finding the pattern:
let s = "Löwe 老虎 Léopard";
let x: &[_] = &['1', '2'];
assert_eq!(s.rfind(x), None);
An iterator over substrings of this string slice, separated by characters matched by a pattern.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Iterator behavior
The returned iterator will be a DoubleEndedIterator
if the pattern
allows a reverse search and forward/reverse search yields the same
elements. This is true for, e.g., char
, but not for &str
.
If the pattern allows a reverse search but its results might differ
from a forward search, the rsplit
method can be used.
Examples
Simple patterns:
let v: Vec<&str> = "Mary had a little lamb".split(' ').collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["Mary", "had", "a", "little", "lamb"]);
let v: Vec<&str> = "".split('X').collect();
assert_eq!(v, [""]);
let v: Vec<&str> = "lionXXtigerXleopard".split('X').collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["lion", "", "tiger", "leopard"]);
let v: Vec<&str> = "lion::tiger::leopard".split("::").collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["lion", "tiger", "leopard"]);
let v: Vec<&str> = "abc1def2ghi".split(char::is_numeric).collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["abc", "def", "ghi"]);
let v: Vec<&str> = "lionXtigerXleopard".split(char::is_uppercase).collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["lion", "tiger", "leopard"]);
If the pattern is a slice of chars, split on each occurrence of any of the characters:
let v: Vec<&str> = "2020-11-03 23:59".split(&['-', ' ', ':', '@'][..]).collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["2020", "11", "03", "23", "59"]);
A more complex pattern, using a closure:
let v: Vec<&str> = "abc1defXghi".split(|c| c == '1' || c == 'X').collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["abc", "def", "ghi"]);
If a string contains multiple contiguous separators, you will end up with empty strings in the output:
let x = "||||a||b|c".to_string();
let d: Vec<_> = x.split('|').collect();
assert_eq!(d, &["", "", "", "", "a", "", "b", "c"]);
Contiguous separators are separated by the empty string.
let x = "(///)".to_string();
let d: Vec<_> = x.split('/').collect();
assert_eq!(d, &["(", "", "", ")"]);
Separators at the start or end of a string are neighbored by empty strings.
let d: Vec<_> = "010".split("0").collect();
assert_eq!(d, &["", "1", ""]);
When the empty string is used as a separator, it separates every character in the string, along with the beginning and end of the string.
let f: Vec<_> = "rust".split("").collect();
assert_eq!(f, &["", "r", "u", "s", "t", ""]);
Contiguous separators can lead to possibly surprising behavior when whitespace is used as the separator. This code is correct:
let x = " a b c".to_string();
let d: Vec<_> = x.split(' ').collect();
assert_eq!(d, &["", "", "", "", "a", "", "b", "c"]);
It does not give you:
assert_eq!(d, &["a", "b", "c"]);
Use split_whitespace
for this behavior.

An iterator over substrings of this string slice, separated by
characters matched by a pattern. Differs from the iterator produced by
split
in that split_inclusive
leaves the matched part as the
terminator of the substring.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Examples
let v: Vec<&str> = "Mary had a little lamb\nlittle lamb\nlittle lamb."
.split_inclusive('\n').collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["Mary had a little lamb\n", "little lamb\n", "little lamb."]);
If the last element of the string is matched, that element will be considered the terminator of the preceding substring. That substring will be the last item returned by the iterator.
let v: Vec<&str> = "Mary had a little lamb\nlittle lamb\nlittle lamb.\n"
.split_inclusive('\n').collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["Mary had a little lamb\n", "little lamb\n", "little lamb.\n"]);
An iterator over substrings of the given string slice, separated by characters matched by a pattern and yielded in reverse order.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Iterator behavior
The returned iterator requires that the pattern supports a reverse
search, and it will be a DoubleEndedIterator
if a forward/reverse
search yields the same elements.
For iterating from the front, the split
method can be used.
Examples
Simple patterns:
let v: Vec<&str> = "Mary had a little lamb".rsplit(' ').collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["lamb", "little", "a", "had", "Mary"]);
let v: Vec<&str> = "".rsplit('X').collect();

An iterator over substrings of the given string slice, separated by characters matched by a pattern.
The pattern can be a &str
, char

An iterator over substrings of the given string slice, separated by a
pattern, restricted to returning at most n
items.
If n
substrings are returned, the last substring (the n
th substring)
will contain the remainder of the string.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Iterator behavior
The returned iterator will not be double ended, because it is not efficient to support.
If the pattern allows a reverse search, the rsplitn
method can be
used.
Examples
Simple patterns:
let v: Vec<&str> = "Mary had a little lambda".splitn(3, ' ').collect();

assert_eq!(v, ["abc", "defXghi"]);
An iterator over substrings of this string slice, separated by a
pattern, starting from the end of the string, restricted to returning
at most n

assert_eq!(v, ["ghi", "abc1def"]);
Splits the string on the first occurrence of the specified delimiter and returns prefix before delimiter and suffix after delimiter.
Examples
assert_eq!("cfg".split_once('='), None);
assert_eq!("cfg=foo".split_once('='), Some(("cfg", "foo")));
assert_eq!("cfg=foo=bar".split_once('='), Some(("cfg", "foo=bar")));

assert_eq!("cfg=foo".rsplit_once('='), Some(("cfg", "foo")));
assert_eq!("cfg=foo=bar".rsplit_once('='), Some(("cfg=foo", "bar")));
An iterator over the disjoint matches of a pattern within the given string slice.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Iterator behavior
The returned iterator will be a DoubleEndedIterator
if the pattern
allows a reverse search and forward/reverse search yields the same
elements. This is true for, e.g., char
, but not for &str
.
If the pattern allows a reverse search but its results might differ
from a forward search, the rmatches
method can be used.
Examples
Basic usage:
let v: Vec<&str> = "abcXXXabcYYYabc".matches("abc").collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["abc", "abc", "abc"]);
let v: Vec<&str> = "1abc2abc3".matches(char::is_numeric).collect();

search yields the same elements.
For iterating from the front, the matches
method can be used.
Examples
Basic usage:
let v: Vec<&str> = "abcXXXabcYYYabc".rmatches("abc").collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["abc", "abc", "abc"]);
let v: Vec<&str> = "1abc2abc3".rmatches(char::is_numeric).collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["3", "2", "1"]);
1.5.0[src]pub fn match_indices<'a, P>(&'a self, pat: P) -> MatchIndices<'a, P> where
P: Pattern<'a>,
pub fn match_indices<'a, P>(&'a self, pat: P) -> MatchIndices<'a, P> where
P: Pattern<'a>,
An iterator over the disjoint matches of a pattern within this string slice as well as the index that the match starts at.
For matches of pat
within self
that overlap, only the indices
corresponding to the first match are returned.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Iterator behavior
The returned iterator will be a DoubleEndedIterator
if the pattern
allows a reverse search and forward/reverse search yields the same
elements. This is true for, e.g., char
, but not for &str
.
If the pattern allows a reverse search but its results might differ
from a forward search, the rmatch_indices
method can be used.
Examples
Basic usage:
let v: Vec<_> = "abcXXXabcYYYabc".match_indices("abc").collect();
assert_eq!(v, [(0, "abc"), (6, "abc"), (12, "abc")]);
let v: Vec<_> = "1abcabc2".match_indices("abc").collect();
assert_eq!(v, [(1, "abc"), (4, "abc")]);
let v: Vec<_> = "ababa".match_indices("aba").collect();
assert_eq!(v, [(0, "aba")]); // only the first `aba`

pub fn rmatch_indices<'a, P>(&'a self, pat: P) -> RMatchIndices<'a, P> where
P: Pattern<'a>,
<P as Pattern<'a>>::Searcher: ReverseSearcher<'a>,
An iterator over the disjoint matches of a pattern within self
,
yielded in reverse order along with the index of the match.
For matches of pat
within self
that overlap, only the indices
corresponding to the last match are returned.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Iterator behavior
The returned iterator requires that the pattern supports a reverse
search, and it will be a DoubleEndedIterator
if a forward/reverse
search yields the same elements.
For iterating from the front, the match_indices
method can be used.
Examples
Basic usage:
let v: Vec<_> = "abcXXXabcYYYabc".rmatch_indices("abc").collect();

Parses this string slice into another type.
Because parse
is so general, it can cause problems with type
inference. As such, parse
is one of the few times you’ll see
the syntax affectionately known as the ‘turbofish’: ::<>
. This
helps the inference algorithm understand specifically which type
you’re trying to parse into.
parse
can parse into any type that implements the FromStr
trait.
Errors
Will return Err
if it’s not possible to parse this string slice into
the desired type.
Examples
Basic usage
let four: u32 = "4".parse().unwrap();
assert_eq!(4, four);
Using the ‘turbofish’ instead of annotating four
:
let four = "4".parse::<u32>();
assert_eq!(Ok(4), four);
Failing to parse:
let nope = "j".parse::<u32>();
assert!(nope.is_err());
Checks if all characters in this string are within the ASCII range.
Examples
let ascii = "hello!\n";
let non_ascii = "Grüße, Jürgen ❤";
assert!(ascii.is_ascii());
assert!(!non_ascii.is_ascii());
Checks that two strings are an ASCII case-insensitive match.
Same as to_ascii_lowercase(a) == to_ascii_lowercase(b)
,
but without allocating and copying temporaries.
Examples
assert!("Ferris".eq_ignore_ascii_case("FERRIS"));
assert!("Ferrös".eq_ignore_ascii_case("FERRöS"));
assert!(!"Ferrös".eq_ignore_ascii_case("FERRÖS"));
Return an iterator that escapes each char in self
with char::escape_debug
.
Note: only extended grapheme codepoints that begin the string will be escaped.
Examples
As an iterator:
for c in "❤\n!".escape_debug() {
print!("{}", c);
}
println!();
Using println!
directly:
println!("{}", "❤\n!".escape_debug());
Both are equivalent to:
println!("❤\\n!");
Using to_string
:
assert_eq!("❤\n!".escape_debug().to_string(), "❤\\n!");
Return an iterator that escapes each char in self
with char::escape_default
.
Examples
As an iterator:
for c in "❤\n!".escape_default() {
print!("{}", c);
}
println!();
Using println!
directly:
println!("{}", "❤\n!".escape_default());
Both are equivalent to:
println!("\\u{{2764}}\\n!");
Using to_string
:
assert_eq!("❤\n!".escape_default().to_string(), "\\u{2764}\\n!");
Return an iterator that escapes each char in self
with char::escape_unicode
.
Examples
As an iterator:
for c in "❤\n!".escape_unicode() {
print!("{}", c);
}
println!();
Using println!
directly:
println!("{}", "❤\n!".escape_unicode());
Both are equivalent to:
println!("\\u{{2764}}\\u{{a}}\\u{{21}}");
Using to_string
:
assert_eq!("❤\n!".escape_unicode().to_string(), "\\u{2764}\\u{a}\\u{21}");
Replaces all matches of a pattern with another string.
replace
creates a new String
, and copies the data from this string slice into it.
While doing so, it attempts to find matches of a pattern. If it finds any, it
replaces them with the replacement string slice.
Examples
Basic usage:
let s = "this is old";
assert_eq!("this is new", s.replace("old", "new"));
When the pattern doesn’t match:
let s = "this is old";
assert_eq!(s, s.replace("cookie monster", "little lamb"));
Replaces first N matches of a pattern with another string.
replacen
creates a new String
, and copies the data from this string slice into it.
While doing so, it attempts to find matches of a pattern. If it finds any, it
replaces them with the replacement string slice at most count
times.
Examples
Basic usage:
let s = "foo foo 123 foo";
assert_eq!("new new 123 foo", s.replacen("foo", "new", 2));
assert_eq!("faa fao 123 foo", s.replacen('o', "a", 3));
assert_eq!("foo foo new23 foo", s.replacen(char::is_numeric, "new", 1));
When the pattern doesn’t match:
let s = "this is old";
assert_eq!(s, s.replacen("cookie monster", "little lamb", 10));
Returns the lowercase equivalent of this string slice, as a new String
.
‘Lowercase’ is defined according to the terms of the Unicode Derived Core Property
Lowercase
.
Since some characters can expand into multiple characters when changing
the case, this function returns a String
instead of modifying the
parameter in-place.
Examples
Basic usage:
let s = "HELLO";
assert_eq!("hello", s.to_lowercase());
A tricky example, with sigma:
let sigma = "Σ";
assert_eq!("σ", sigma.to_lowercase());
// but at the end of a word, it's ς, not σ:
let odysseus = "ὈΔΥΣΣΕΎΣ";
assert_eq!("ὀδυσσεύς", odysseus.to_lowercase());
Languages without case are not changed:
let new_year = "农历新年";
assert_eq!(new_year, new_year.to_lowercase());
Returns the uppercase equivalent of this string slice, as a new String
.
‘Uppercase’ is defined according to the terms of the Unicode Derived Core Property
Uppercase
.
Since some characters can expand into multiple characters when changing
the case, this function returns a String
instead of modifying the
parameter in-place.
Examples
Basic usage:
let s = "hello";
assert_eq!("HELLO", s.to_uppercase());
Scripts without case are not changed:
let new_year = "农历新年";
assert_eq!(new_year, new_year.to_uppercase());
One character can become multiple:
let s = "tschüß";
assert_eq!("TSCHÜSS", s.to_uppercase());
Creates a new String
by repeating a string n
times.
Panics
This function will panic if the capacity would overflow.
Examples
Basic usage:
assert_eq!("abc".repeat(4), String::from("abcabcabcabc"));
A panic upon overflow:
// this will panic at runtime
let huge = "0123456789abcdef".repeat(usize::MAX);
Returns a copy of this string where each character is mapped to its ASCII upper case equivalent.
ASCII letters ‘a’ to ‘z’ are mapped to ‘A’ to ‘Z’, but non-ASCII letters are unchanged.
To uppercase the value in-place, use make_ascii_uppercase
.
To uppercase ASCII characters in addition to non-ASCII characters, use
to_uppercase
.
Examples
let s = "Grüße, Jürgen ❤";
assert_eq!("GRüßE, JüRGEN ❤", s.to_ascii_uppercase());
Returns a copy of this string where each character is mapped to its ASCII lower case equivalent.
ASCII letters ‘A’ to ‘Z’ are mapped to ‘a’ to ‘z’, but non-ASCII letters are unchanged.
To lowercase the value in-place, use make_ascii_lowercase
.
To lowercase ASCII characters in addition to non-ASCII characters, use
to_lowercase
.
Examples
let s = "Grüße, Jürgen ❤";
assert_eq!("grüße, jürgen ❤", s.to_ascii_lowercase());
