Functions ¶

func Clone ¶ added in go1.18

func Clone(s string) string

Clone returns a fresh copy of s. It guarantees to make a copy of s into a new allocation, which can be important when retaining only a small substring of a much larger string. Using Clone can help such programs use less memory. Of course, since using Clone makes a copy, overuse of Clone can make programs use more memory. Clone should typically be used only rarely, and only when profiling indicates that it is needed. For strings of length zero the string "" will be returned and no allocation is made.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
	"unsafe"
)

func main() {
	s := "abc"
	clone := strings.Clone(s)
	fmt.Println(s == clone)
	fmt.Println(unsafe.StringData(s) == unsafe.StringData(clone))
}
Output:
true
false

func Compare ¶ added in go1.5

func Compare(a, b string) int

Compare returns an integer comparing two strings lexicographically. The result will be 0 if a == b, -1 if a < b, and +1 if a > b.

Use Compare when you need to perform a three-way comparison (with slices.SortFunc, for example). It is usually clearer and always faster to use the built-in string comparison operators ==, <, >, and so on.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.Compare("a", "b"))
	fmt.Println(strings.Compare("a", "a"))
	fmt.Println(strings.Compare("b", "a"))
}
Output:
-1
0
1

func Contains ¶

func Contains(s, substr string) bool

Contains reports whether substr is within s.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.Contains("seafood", "foo"))
	fmt.Println(strings.Contains("seafood", "bar"))
	fmt.Println(strings.Contains("seafood", ""))
	fmt.Println(strings.Contains("", ""))
}
Output:
true
false
true
true

func ContainsAny ¶

func ContainsAny(s, chars string) bool

ContainsAny reports whether any Unicode code points in chars are within s.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("team", "i"))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("fail", "ui"))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("ure", "ui"))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("failure", "ui"))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("foo", ""))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("", ""))
}
Output:
false
true
true
true
false
false

func ContainsFunc ¶ added in go1.21.0

func ContainsFunc(s string, f func(rune) bool) bool

ContainsFunc reports whether any Unicode code points r within s satisfy f(r). It stops as soon as a call to f returns true.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	f := func(r rune) bool {
		return r == 'a' || r == 'e' || r == 'i' || r == 'o' || r == 'u'
	}
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsFunc("hello", f))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsFunc("rhythms", f))
}
Output:
true
false

func ContainsRune ¶

func ContainsRune(s string, r rune) bool

ContainsRune reports whether the Unicode code point r is within s.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	// Finds whether a string contains a particular Unicode code point.
	// The code point for the lowercase letter "a", for example, is 97.
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsRune("aardvark", 97))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsRune("timeout", 97))
}
Output:
true
false

func Count ¶

func Count(s, substr string) int

Count counts the number of non-overlapping instances of substr in s. If substr is an empty string, Count returns 1 + the number of Unicode code points in s.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.Count("cheese", "e"))
	fmt.Println(strings.Count("five", "")) // before & after each rune
}
Output:
3
5

func Cut ¶ added in go1.18

func Cut(s, sep string) (before, after string, found bool)

Cut slices s around the first instance of sep, returning the text before and after sep. The found result reports whether sep appears in s. If sep does not appear in s, cut returns s, "", false.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	show := func(s, sep string) {
		before, after, found := strings.Cut(s, sep)
		fmt.Printf("Cut(%q, %q) = %q, %q, %v\n", s, sep, before, after, found)
	}
	show("Gopher", "Go")
	show("Gopher", "ph")
	show("Gopher", "er")
	show("Gopher", "Badger")
}
Output:
Cut("Gopher", "Go") = "", "pher", true
Cut("Gopher", "ph") = "Go", "er", true
Cut("Gopher", "er") = "Goph", "", true
Cut("Gopher", "Badger") = "Gopher", "", false

func CutLast ¶ added in go1.27.0

func CutLast(s, sep string) (before, after string, found bool)

CutLast slices s around the last instance of sep, returning the text before and after sep. The found result reports whether sep appears in s. If sep does not appear in s, CutLast returns s, "", false.

func CutPrefix ¶ added in go1.20

func CutPrefix(s, prefix string) (after string, found bool)

CutPrefix returns s without the provided leading prefix string and reports whether it found the prefix. If s doesn't start with prefix, CutPrefix returns s, false. If prefix is the empty string, CutPrefix returns s, true.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	show := func(s, prefix string) {
		after, found := strings.CutPrefix(s, prefix)
		fmt.Printf("CutPrefix(%q, %q) = %q, %v\n", s, prefix, after, found)
	}
	show("Gopher", "Go")
	show("Gopher", "ph")
}
Output:
CutPrefix("Gopher", "Go") = "pher", true
CutPrefix("Gopher", "ph") = "Gopher", false

func CutSuffix ¶ added in go1.20

func CutSuffix(s, suffix string) (before string, found bool)

CutSuffix returns s without the provided ending suffix string and reports whether it found the suffix. If s doesn't end with suffix, CutSuffix returns s, false. If suffix is the empty string, CutSuffix returns s, true.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	show := func(s, suffix string) {
		before, found := strings.CutSuffix(s, suffix)
		fmt.Printf("CutSuffix(%q, %q) = %q, %v\n", s, suffix, before, found)
	}
	show("Gopher", "Go")
	show("Gopher", "er")
}
Output:
CutSuffix("Gopher", "Go") = "Gopher", false
CutSuffix("Gopher", "er") = "Goph", true

func EqualFold ¶

func EqualFold(s, t string) bool

EqualFold reports whether s and t, interpreted as UTF-8 strings, are equal under simple Unicode case-folding, which is a more general form of case-insensitivity.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("Go", "go"))
	fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("AB", "ab")) // true because comparison uses simple case-folding
	fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("ß", "ss"))  // false because comparison does not use full case-folding
}
Output:
true
true
false

func Fields ¶

func Fields(s string) []string

Fields splits the string s around each instance of one or more consecutive white space characters, as defined by unicode.IsSpace, returning a slice of substrings of s or an empty slice if s contains only white space. Every element of the returned slice is non-empty. Unlike Split, leading and trailing runs of white space characters are discarded.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("Fields are: %q", strings.Fields("  foo bar  baz   "))
}
Output:
Fields are: ["foo" "bar" "baz"]

func FieldsFunc ¶

func FieldsFunc(s string, f func(rune) bool) []string

FieldsFunc splits the string s at each run of Unicode code points c satisfying f(c) and returns an array of slices of s. If all code points in s satisfy f(c) or the string is empty, an empty slice is returned. Every element of the returned slice is non-empty. Unlike Split, leading and trailing runs of code points satisfying f(c) are discarded.

FieldsFunc makes no guarantees about the order in which it calls f(c) and assumes that f always returns the same value for a given c.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	f := func(c rune) bool {
		return !unicode.IsLetter(c) && !unicode.IsNumber(c)
	}
	fmt.Printf("Fields are: %q", strings.FieldsFunc("  foo1;bar2,baz3...", f))
}
Output:
Fields are: ["foo1" "bar2" "baz3"]

func FieldsFuncSeq ¶ added in go1.24.0

func FieldsFuncSeq(s string, f func(rune) bool) iter.Seq[string]

FieldsFuncSeq returns an iterator over substrings of s split around runs of Unicode code points satisfying f(c). The iterator yields the same strings that would be returned by FieldsFunc(s), but without constructing the slice.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	text := "The quick brown fox"
	fmt.Println("Split on whitespace(similar to FieldsSeq):")
	for word := range strings.FieldsFuncSeq(text, unicode.IsSpace) {
		fmt.Printf("%q\n", word)
	}

	mixedText := "abc123def456ghi"
	fmt.Println("\nSplit on digits:")
	for word := range strings.FieldsFuncSeq(mixedText, unicode.IsDigit) {
		fmt.Printf("%q\n", word)
	}

}
Output:
Split on whitespace(similar to FieldsSeq):
"The"
"quick"
"brown"
"fox"

Split on digits:
"abc"
"def"
"ghi"

func FieldsSeq ¶ added in go1.24.0

func FieldsSeq(s string) iter.Seq[string]

FieldsSeq returns an iterator over substrings of s split around runs of whitespace characters, as defined by unicode.IsSpace. The iterator yields the same strings that would be returned by Fields(s), but without constructing the slice.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	text := "The quick brown fox"
	fmt.Println("Split string into fields:")
	for word := range strings.FieldsSeq(text) {
		fmt.Printf("%q\n", word)
	}

	textWithSpaces := "  lots   of   spaces  "
	fmt.Println("\nSplit string with multiple spaces:")
	for word := range strings.FieldsSeq(textWithSpaces) {
		fmt.Printf("%q\n", word)
	}

}
Output:
Split string into fields:
"The"
"quick"
"brown"
"fox"

Split string with multiple spaces:
"lots"
"of"
"spaces"

func HasPrefix ¶

func HasPrefix(s, prefix string) bool

HasPrefix reports whether the string s begins with prefix.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {

	fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("Gopher", "C"))
	fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("Gopher", ""))
}
Output:
true
false
true

func HasSuffix ¶

func HasSuffix(s, suffix string) bool

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "go"))
	fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "O"))

}
Output:
banana

func Replace ¶

func Replace(s, old, new string, n int) string

Replace returns a copy of the string s with the first n non-overlapping instances of old replaced by new. If old is empty, it matches at the beginning of the string and after each UTF-8 sequence, yielding up to k+1 replacements for a k-rune string. If n < 0, there is no limit on the number of replacements.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

moo moo moo

func ReplaceAll ¶ added in go1.12

func ReplaceAll(s, old, new string) string

ReplaceAll returns a copy of the string s with all non-overlapping instances of old replaced by new. If old is empty, it matches at the beginning of the string and after each UTF-8 sequence, yielding up to k+1 replacements for a k-rune string.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.ReplaceAll("oink oink oink", "oink", "moo"))
}
Output:
moo moo moo

func Split ¶

func Split(s, sep string) []string

Split slices s into all substrings separated by sep and returns a slice of the substrings between those separators.

If s does not contain sep and sep is not empty, Split returns a slice of length 1 whose only element is s.

If sep is empty, Split splits after each UTF-8 sequence. If both s and sep are empty, Split returns an empty slice.

It is equivalent to SplitN with a count of -1.

To split around the first instance of a separator, see Cut.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split("a,b,c", ","))
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split("a man a plan a canal panama", "a "))
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split(" xyz ", ""))
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split("", "Bernardo O'Higgins"))

Output:
["a" "b" "c"]
["" "man " "plan " "canal panama"]
[" " "x" "y" "z" " "]
[""]

func SplitAfter ¶

func SplitAfter(s, sep string) []string

SplitAfter slices s into all substrings after each instance of sep and returns a slice of those substrings.

If s does not contain sep and sep is not empty, SplitAfter returns a slice of length 1 whose only element is s.

If sep is empty, SplitAfter splits after each UTF-8 sequence. If both s and sep are empty, SplitAfter returns an empty slice.

It is equivalent to SplitAfterN with a count of -1.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.SplitAfter("a,b,c", ","))
}
Output:
["a," "b," "c"]

func SplitAfterN ¶

func SplitAfterN(s, sep string, n int) []string

SplitAfterN slices s into substrings after each instance of sep and returns a slice of those substrings.

  • n > 0: at most n substrings; the last substring will be the unsplit remainder;
  • n == 0: the result is nil (zero substrings);
  • n < 0: all substrings.

Edge cases for s and sep (for example, empty strings) are handled as described in the documentation for SplitAfter.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.SplitAfterN("a,b,c", ",", 2))

["a," "b,c"]

func SplitAfterSeq ¶ added in go1.24.0

func SplitAfterSeq(s, sep string) iter.Seq[string]

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	s := "a,b,c,d"
	for part := range strings.SplitAfterSeq(s, ",") {
		fmt.Printf("%q\n", part)
	}

}
Output:
"a,"
"b,"
"c,"
"d"

func SplitN ¶

func SplitN(s, sep string, n int) []string

SplitN slices s into substrings separated by sep and returns a slice of the substrings between those separators.

The count determines the number of substrings to return:

  • n > 0: at most n substrings; the last substring will be the unsplit remainder;
  • n == 0: the result is nil (zero substrings);
  • n < 0: all substrings.

Edge cases for s and sep (for example, empty strings) are handled as described in the documentation for Split.

To split around the first instance of a separator, see Cut.

Example ¶
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.SplitN("a,b,c", ",", 2))
	z := strings.SplitN("a,b,c", ",", 0)
	fmt.Printf("%q (nil = %v)\n", z, z == nil)
}
Output:
["a" "b,c"]
[] (nil = true)

func SplitSeq ¶ added in go1.24.0

func SplitSeq(s, sep string) iter.Seq[string]

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	s := "a,b,c,d"

"a"
"b"
"c"
"d"
