val slice : t -> int -> int -> t
slice s start stop gets a slice of s between start and stop. start and stop will be normalized before the access. (viz. Core_array.normalize).
val to_list_rev : t -> char list
Returns the reversed list of characters contained in a list.
val nget : t -> int -> char
nget s i Gets the char at normalized position i in s.
val nset : t -> int -> char -> unit
nset s i c Sets the char at normalized position i to c.
val is_suffix : t -> suffix:t -> bool
is_suffix s ~suffix returns true if s ends with suffix.
val is_prefix : t -> prefix:t -> bool
is_prefix s ~prefix returns true if s starts with prefix.
val lsplit2_exn : t -> on:char -> t * t
If the string s contains the character on, then lsplit2_exn s ~on returns a pair containing s split around the first appearance of on (from the left).
Raises Not_found When on cannot be found in s
val rsplit2_exn : t -> on:char -> t * t
If the string s contains the character on, then rsplit2_exn s ~on returns a pair containing s split around the first appearance of on (from the right).
Raises Not_found When on cannot be found in s
val lsplit2 : t -> on:char -> (t * t) option

rsplit2 line ~on optionally returns line split into two strings around the * first appearance of on from the right
val split : t -> on:char -> t list
split s ~on
Returns a list of substrings of s that are separated by on. Consecutive on characters will cause multiple empty strings in the result. Splitting the empty string returns a list of the empty string, not the empty list.
val split_on_chars : t -> on:char list -> t list
split_on_chars s ~on
Returns a list of all substrings of s that are separated by one of the chars from on. on are not grouped. So a grouping of on in the source string will produce multiple empty string splits in the result.

val is_empty : t -> bool

mapi f s applies f to each character in s and its index, and returns the resulting string.

foldi works similarly to fold, but also pass in index of each character to f

Like map, but allows replacement of a single character with zero or two or more characters.

is_empty s returns true iff s is empty (i.e. its length is 0).

Operations for escaping and unescaping strings, with paramaterized escape and escapeworthy characters. Escaping/unescaping using this module is more efficient than using Pcre. Benchmark code can be found in core/benchmarks/string_escaping.ml.

escape_gen_exn escapeworthy_map escape_char returns a function that will escape a string s as follows: if (c1,c2) is in escapeworthy_map, then all occurences of c1 are replaced by escape_char concatenated to c2.

Raises an exception if escapeworthy_map is not one-to-one. If escape_char is not in escapeworthy_map, then it will be escaped to itself.

escape ~escapeworthy ~escape_char s is

        escape_gen_exn ~escapeworthy_map:(List.zip_exn escapeworthy escapeworthy)
          ~escape_char
      
. Duplicates and escape_char will be removed from escapeworthy. So, no exception will be raised

unescape_gen_exn is the inverse operation of escape_gen_exn. That is,
      let escape = Staged.unstage (escape_gen_exn ~escapeworthy_map ~escape_char) in
      let unescape = Staged.unstage (unescape_gen_exn ~escapeworthy_map ~escape_char) in
      assert (s = unescape (escape s))
      
always succeed when ~escapeworthy_map is not causing exceptions.

unescape ~escape_char is defined as unescape_gen_exn ~map:[] ~escape_char

Any char in an escaped string is either escaping, escaped or literal. For example, for escaped string "0_a0__0" with escape_char as '_', pos 1 and 4 are escaping, 2 and 5 are escaped, and the rest are literal

is_char_escaping s ~escape_char pos return true if the char at pos is escaping, false otherwise.

is_char_escaped s ~escape_char pos return true if the char at pos is escaped, false otherwise.

is_literal s ~escape_char pos return true if the char at pos is not escaped or escaping.

index s ~escape_char char find the first literal (not escaped) instance of char in s starting from 0.

rindex s ~escape_char char find the first literal (not escaped) instance of char in s starting from the end of s and proceeding towards 0.

index_from s ~escape_char pos char find the first literal (not escaped) instance of char in s starting from pos and proceeding towards the end of s.

rindex_from s ~escape_char pos char find the first literal (not escaped) instance of char in s starting from pos and towards 0.
