Static methods
staticcharAt(this:String, index:Int):String
Available on cs, cpp, flash, js, hl, java
Returns the character at position index of this String.
If index is negative or exceeds this.length, the empty String ""
is returned.
staticcharCodeAt(this:String, index:Int):Null<Int>
Available on cs, cpp, flash, js, hl, java
Returns the character code at position index of this String.
If index is negative or exceeds this.length, null is returned.
staticindexOf(this:String, str:String, ?startIndex:Int):Int
Available on cs, cpp, flash, js, hl, java
Returns the position of the leftmost occurrence of str within this
String.
If startIndex is given, the search is performed within the substring
of this String starting from startIndex (if startIndex is posivite
or 0) or max(this.length + startIndex, 0) (if startIndex is negative).
If startIndex exceeds this.length, -1 is returned.
Otherwise the search is performed within this String. In either case,
the returned position is relative to the beginning of this String.
If str cannot be found, -1 is returned.
staticinlineiterator(this:String):StringIteratorUnicode
Available on cs, cpp, flash, php, js, macro, hl, lua, java, python
Returns an iterator of the unicode code points.
staticinlinekeyValueIterator(this:String):StringKeyValueIteratorUnicode
Available on cs, cpp, flash, php, js, macro, hl, lua, java, python
Returns an iterator of the code point indices and unicode code points.
staticlastIndexOf(this:String, str:String, ?startIndex:Int):Int
Available on cs, cpp, flash, js, hl, java
Returns the position of the rightmost occurrence of str within this
String.
If startIndex is given, the search is performed within the substring
of this String from 0 to startIndex + str.length. Otherwise the search
is performed within this String. In either case, the returned position
is relative to the beginning of this String.
If str cannot be found, -1 is returned.
staticsubstr(this:String, pos:Int, ?len:Int):String
Available on cs, cpp, flash, js, hl, java
Returns len characters of this String, starting at position pos.
If len is omitted, all characters from position pos to the end of
this String are included.
If pos is negative, its value is calculated from the end of this
String by this.length + pos. If this yields a negative value, 0 is
used instead.
If the calculated position + len exceeds this.length, the characters
from that position to the end of this String are returned.
If len is negative, the result is unspecified.
staticsubstring(this:String, startIndex:Int, ?endIndex:Int):String
Available on cs, cpp, flash, js, hl, java
Returns the part of this String from startIndex to but not including endIndex.
If startIndex or endIndex are negative, 0 is used instead.
If startIndex exceeds endIndex, they are swapped.
If the (possibly swapped) endIndex is omitted or exceeds
this.length, this.length is used instead.
If the (possibly swapped) startIndex exceeds this.length, the empty
String "" is returned.
