Functions ¶
func Compare ¶
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.
Compare is included only for symmetry with package bytes. 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 ¶
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 ¶
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("failure", "u & i")) fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("foo", "")) fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("", "")) }
Output: false true false false
func ContainsRune ¶
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 ¶
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 EqualFold ¶
EqualFold reports whether s and t, interpreted as UTF-8 strings, are equal under Unicode case-folding.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("Go", "go")) }
Output: true
func Fields ¶
Fields splits the string s around each instance of one or more consecutive white space characters, as defined by unicode.IsSpace, returning an array of substrings of s or an empty list 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 ¶
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). If f does not return consistent results for a given c, FieldsFunc may crash.
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 ¶
HasPrefix tests whether the string s begins with prefix.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("Gopher", "Go")) fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("Gopher", "C")) fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("Gopher", "")) }
Output: true false true
func HasSuffix ¶
HasSuffix tests whether the string s ends with suffix.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "go")) fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "O")) fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "Ami")) fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "")) }
Output: true false false true
func Index ¶
Index returns the index of the first instance of substr in s, or -1 if substr is not present in s.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println(strings.Index("chicken", "ken")) fmt.Println(strings.Index("chicken", "dmr")) }
Output: 4 -1
func IndexAny ¶
IndexAny returns the index of the first instance of any Unicode code point from chars in s, or -1 if no Unicode code point from chars is present in s.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println(strings.IndexAny("chicken", "aeiouy")) fmt.Println(strings.IndexAny("crwth", "aeiouy")) }
Output: 2 -1
func IndexByte ¶
IndexByte returns the index of the first instance of c in s, or -1 if c is not present in s.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println(strings.IndexByte("golang", 'g')) fmt.Println(strings.IndexByte("gophers", 'h')) fmt.Println(strings.IndexByte("golang", 'x')) }
Output: 0 3 -1
func IndexFunc ¶
IndexFunc returns the index into s of the first Unicode code point satisfying f(c), or -1 if none do.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" "unicode" ) func main() { f := func(c rune) bool { return unicode.Is(unicode.Han, c) } fmt.Println(strings.IndexFunc("Hello, 世界", f)) fmt.Println(strings.IndexFunc("Hello, world", f)) }
Output: 7 -1
func IndexRune ¶
IndexRune returns the index of the first instance of the Unicode code point r, or -1 if rune is not present in s. If r is utf8.RuneError, it returns the first instance of any invalid UTF-8 byte sequence.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println(strings.IndexRune("chicken", 'k')) fmt.Println(strings.IndexRune("chicken", 'd')) }
Output: 4 -1
func Join ¶
Join concatenates the elements of a to create a single string. The separator string sep is placed between elements in the resulting string.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { s := []string{"foo", "bar", "baz"} fmt.Println(strings.Join(s, ", ")) }
Output: foo, bar, baz
func LastIndex ¶
LastIndex returns the index of the last instance of substr in s, or -1 if substr is not present in s.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println(strings.Index("go gopher", "go")) fmt.Println(strings.LastIndex("go gopher", "go")) fmt.Println(strings.LastIndex("go gopher", "rodent")) }
Output: 0 3 -1
func LastIndexAny ¶
LastIndexAny returns the index of the last instance of any Unicode code point from chars in s, or -1 if no Unicode code point from chars is present in s.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println(strings.LastIndexAny("go gopher", "go")) fmt.Println(strings.LastIndexAny("go gopher", "rodent")) fmt.Println(strings.LastIndexAny("go gopher", "fail")) }
Output: 4 8 -1
func LastIndexByte ¶
LastIndexByte returns the index of the last instance of c in s, or -1 if c is not present in s.
func LastIndexFunc ¶
LastIndexFunc returns the index into s of the last Unicode code point satisfying f(c), or -1 if none do.
func Map ¶
Map returns a copy of the string s with all its characters modified according to the mapping function. If mapping returns a negative value, the character is dropped from the string with no replacement.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { rot13 := func(r rune) rune { switch { case r >= 'A' && r <= 'Z': return 'A' + (r-'A'+13)%26 case r >= 'a' && r <= 'z': return 'a' + (r-'a'+13)%26 } return r } fmt.Println(strings.Map(rot13, "'Twas brillig and the slithy gopher...")) }
Output: 'Gjnf oevyyvt naq gur fyvgul tbcure...
func Repeat ¶
Repeat returns a new string consisting of count copies of the string s.
It panics if count is negative or if the result of (len(s) * count) overflows.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println("ba" + strings.Repeat("na", 2)) }
Output: banana
func Replace ¶
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" ) func main() { fmt.Println(strings.Replace("oink oink oink", "k", "ky", 2)) fmt.Println(strings.Replace("oink oink oink", "oink", "moo", -1)) }
Output: oinky oinky oink moo moo moo
func Split ¶
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.
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 ¶
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 ¶
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 ¶
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.
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 ¶
Title returns a copy of the string s with all Unicode letters that begin words mapped to their title case.
BUG(rsc): The rule Title uses for word boundaries does not handle Unicode punctuation properly.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println(strings.Title("her royal highness")) }
Output: Her Royal Highness
func ToLower ¶
ToLower returns a copy of the string s with all Unicode letters mapped to their lower case.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println(strings.ToLower("Gopher")) }
Output: gopher

Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Printf("[%q]", strings.Trim(" !!! Achtung! Achtung! !!! ", "! ")) }
Output: ["Achtung! Achtung"]
func TrimFunc ¶
TrimFunc returns a slice of the string s with all leading and trailing Unicode code points c satisfying f(c) removed.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" "unicode" ) func main() { f := func(c rune) bool { return !unicode.IsLetter(c) && !unicode.IsNumber(c) } fmt.Printf("[%q]", strings.TrimFunc(" Achtung1! Achtung2,...", f)) }

Output: Hello, world!
Types ¶
type Reader ¶
type Reader struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Reader implements the io.Reader, io.ReaderAt, io.Seeker, io.WriterTo, io.ByteScanner, and io.RuneScanner interfaces by reading from a string.
func NewReader ¶
NewReader returns a new Reader reading from s. It is similar to bytes.NewBufferString but more efficient and read-only.
func (*Reader) Size ¶
Size returns the original length of the underlying string. Size is the number of bytes available for reading via ReadAt. The returned value is always the same and is not affected by calls to any other method.
func (*Reader) UnreadByte ¶
func (*Reader) UnreadRune ¶
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 ¶
NewReplacer returns a new Replacer from a list of old, new string pairs. Replacements are performed in order, without overlapping matches.
Example ¶
package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { r := strings.NewReplacer("<", "<", ">", ">") fmt.Println(r.Replace("This is <b>HTML</b>!")) }
Output: This is <b>HTML</b>!
