Strings

Working with Strings

Definition

There are 3 ways of defining strings:

• Single quote: name = 'Joe Doe'
• Double quote: company = "mathisi.io"
• backslashes: address = \23, avenue de l'armée\

String Operations

String concatenation

To concatenate strings we use colon (:)

first_name = 'Joe' ; last_name = 'Doe'
full_name = fist_name : ' ': last_name
CRT full_name         ;* Joe Doe

String Slicing

name = "John Smith"
CRT name[1,4]       ;* John
CRT name[5]         ;* Smith
CRT name[-5, 5]     ;* Smith

Built-in functions to work with strings

Below are some samples of how to manipulate strings using some built-in functions

name = "John Smith"
CRT LEFT(4)             ;* John
CRT RIGHT(5)            ;* Smith
CRT UPCASE(name)        ;* JOHN SMITH
CRT DOWNCASE("Value")   ;* value
CRT LEN(name)           ;* 10
CRT STR('A', 3)         ;* AAA
