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).

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 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, sep string) {
		after, found := strings.CutPrefix(s, sep)
		fmt.Printf("CutPrefix(%q, %q) = %q, %v\n", s, sep, 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, sep string) {
		before, found := strings.CutSuffix(s, sep)
		fmt.Printf("CutSuffix(%q, %q) = %q, %v\n", s, sep, 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.

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.

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 HasPrefix

	fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("Gopher", "C"))
	fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("Gopher", ""))
}

Output:

true
false
true

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"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.Replace("oink oink oink", "k", "ky", 2))

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"))

["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.

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 SplitAfter.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

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

Output:

["a," "b,c"]

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 Title deprecated 

func Title(s string) string

Title returns a copy of the string s with all Unicode letters that begin words mapped to their Unicode title case.

TrimPrefix returns s without the provided leading prefix string. If s doesn't start with prefix, s is returned unchanged.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	var s = "¡¡¡Hello, Gophers!!!"
	s = strings.TrimPrefix(s, "¡¡¡Hello, ")
	s = strings.TrimPrefix(s, "¡¡¡Howdy, ")
	fmt.Print(s)
}

Output:

Gophers!!!

func TrimRight 

func TrimRight(s, cutset string) string

TrimRight returns a slice of the string s, with all trailing Unicode code points contained in cutset removed.

To remove a suffix, use TrimSuffix instead.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Print(strings.TrimRight("¡¡¡Hello, Gophers!!!", "!¡"))
}

Output:

¡¡¡Hello, Gophers

func TrimRightFunc 

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

TrimRightFunc returns a slice of the string s with all trailing Unicode code points c satisfying f(c) removed.

Example 
package main

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

func main() {
	fmt.Print(strings.TrimRightFunc("¡¡¡Hello, Gophers!!!", func(r rune) bool {
		return !unicode.IsLetter(r) && !unicode.IsNumber(r)
	}))
}

Output:

¡¡¡Hello, Gophers

func TrimSpace 

func TrimSpace(s string) string

TrimSpace returns a slice of the string s, with all leading and trailing white space removed, as defined by Unicode.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.TrimSpace(" \t\n Hello, Gophers \n\t\r\n"))
}

Output:

Hello, Gophers

func TrimSuffix added in go1.1 

func TrimSuffix(s, suffix string) string

TrimSuffix returns s without the provided trailing suffix string. If s doesn't end with suffix, s is returned unchanged.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	var s = "¡¡¡Hello, Gophers!!!"
	s = strings.TrimSuffix(s, ", Gophers!!!")
	s = strings.TrimSuffix(s, ", Marmots!!!")
	fmt.Print(s)
}

Output:

¡¡¡Hello

Types

type Builder added in go1.10 

type Builder struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Builder is used to efficiently build a string using Builder.Write methods. It minimizes memory copying. The zero value is ready to use. Do not copy a non-zero Builder.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	var b strings.Builder
	for i := 3; i >= 1; i-- {
		fmt.Fprintf(&b, "%d...", i)
	}
	b.WriteString("ignition")
	fmt.Println(b.String())

}

Output:

3...2...1...ignition

func (*Builder) Cap added in go1.12 

func (b *Builder) Cap() int

Cap returns the capacity of the builder's underlying byte slice. It is the total space allocated for the string being built and includes any bytes already written.

func (*Builder) Grow added in go1.10 

func (b *Builder) Grow(n int)

Grow grows b's capacity, if necessary, to guarantee space for another n bytes. After Grow(n), at least n bytes can be written to b without another allocation. If n is negative, Grow panics.

func (*Builder) Len added in go1.10 

func (b *Builder) Len() int

Len returns the number of accumulated bytes; b.Len() == len(b.String()).

func (*Builder) Reset added in go1.10 

func (b *Builder) Reset()

Reset resets the Builder to be empty.

func (*Builder) String added in go1.10 

func (b *Builder) String() string

String returns the accumulated string.

func (*Builder) Write added in go1.10 

func (b *Builder) Write(p []byte) (int, error)

Write appends the contents of p to b's buffer. Write always returns len(p), nil.

func (*Builder) WriteByte added in go1.10 

func (b *Builder) WriteByte(c byte) error

WriteByte appends the byte c to b's buffer. The returned error is always nil.

func (*Builder) WriteRune added in go1.10 

func (b *Builder) WriteRune(r rune) (int, error)

WriteRune appends the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode code point r to b's buffer. It returns the length of r and a nil error.

func (*Builder) WriteString added in go1.10 

func (b *Builder) WriteString(s string) (int, error)

WriteString appends the contents of s to b's buffer. It returns the length of s and a nil error.

type Reader 

type Reader struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Reader implements the io.Reader, io.ReaderAt, io.ByteReader, io.ByteScanner, io.RuneReader, io.RuneScanner, io.Seeker, and io.WriterTo interfaces by reading from a string. The zero value for Reader operates like a Reader of an empty string.

func NewReader 

func NewReader(s string) *Reader

NewReader returns a new Reader reading from s. It is similar to bytes.NewBufferString but more efficient and non-writable.

func (*Reader) Len 

func (r *Reader) Len() int

Len returns the number of bytes of the unread portion of the string.

func (*Reader) Read 

func (r *Reader) Read(b []byte) (n int, err error)

Read implements the io.Reader interface.

func (*Reader) ReadAt 

func (r *Reader) ReadAt(b []byte, off int64) (n int, err error)

ReadAt implements the io.ReaderAt interface.

func (*Reader) ReadByte 

func (r *Reader) ReadByte() (byte, error)

ReadByte implements the io.ByteReader interface.

func (*Reader) ReadRune 

func (r *Reader) ReadRune() (ch rune, size int, err error)

ReadRune implements the io.RuneReader interface.

func (*Reader) Reset added in go1.7 

func (r *Reader) Reset(s string)

Reset resets the Reader to be reading from s.

func (*Reader) Seek 

func (r *Reader) Seek(offset int64, whence int) (int64, error)

Seek implements the io.Seeker interface.

func (*Reader) Size added in go1.5 

func (r *Reader) Size() int64

Size returns the original length of the underlying string. Size is the number of bytes available for reading via Reader.ReadAt. The returned value is always the same and is not affected by calls to any other method.

func (*Reader) UnreadByte 

func (r *Reader) UnreadByte() error

UnreadByte implements the io.ByteScanner interface.

func (*Reader) UnreadRune 

func (r *Reader) UnreadRune() error

UnreadRune implements the io.RuneScanner interface.

func (*Reader) WriteTo added in go1.1 

func (r *Reader) WriteTo(w io.Writer) (n int64, err error)

WriteTo implements the io.WriterTo interface.

type Replacer 

type Replacer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Replacer replaces a list of strings with replacements. It is safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines.

func NewReplacer 

func NewReplacer(oldnew ...string) *Replacer

NewReplacer returns a new Replacer from a list of old, new string pairs. Replacements are performed in the order they appear in the target string, without overlapping matches. The old string comparisons are done in argument order.

NewReplacer panics if given an odd number of arguments.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	r := strings.NewReplacer("<", "&lt;", ">", "&gt;")
	fmt.Println(r.Replace("This is <b>HTML</b>!"))
}

Output:

This is &lt;b&gt;HTML&lt;/b&gt;!

func (*Replacer) Replace 

func (r *Replacer) Replace(s string) string

Replace returns a copy of s with all replacements performed.

func (*Replacer) WriteString 

func (r *Replacer) WriteString(w io.Writer, s string) (n int, err error)

WriteString writes s to w with all replacements performed.
