Memoized String

Usage

(import memoized-string)

make-string+

[procedure] (make-string+ COUNT [FILL]) -> string

An interning make-string.

FILL is any valid char, including codepoints outside of the ASCII range, which produce UTF-8 strings.

string+

[procedure] (string+ [CHAR...]) -> string

An interning string.

CHAR is any valid char, including codepoints outside of the ASCII range, which produce UTF-8 strings.

global-string

[procedure] (global-string STR) -> string

Share common string space.

String Hexadecimal

Usage

(import string-hexadecimal)

string->hex

[procedure] (string->hex STRING [START [END]]) -> string

Returns a hexadecimal string (Latin1) from STRING (Latin1). START and END are substring limits.

STRING is treated as a string of bytes.

hex->string

[procedure] (hex->string STRING [START [END]]) -> string

Returns the string (Latin1) from a hexadecimal STRING (Latin1). START and END are substring limits.

utf8->hex

[procedure] (utf8->hex STRING [START [END]]) -> string

Returns a hexadecimal string (Latin1) from STRING (Utf8). START and END are substring limits.

STRING is treated as a string of bytes.

hex->utf8

[procedure] (hex->string STRING [START [END]]) -> string

Returns the string (Utf8) from a hexadecimal STRING (Latin1). START and END are substring limits.

String Utilities

Usage

(import string-utils)

string-split-chars

[procedure] (string-split-chars STR [DELIMITERS]) -> (list-of string) (list-of char)

Returns a list of substrings of STR & a list of the characters, from DELIMITERS, separating those substrings.

STR
string ; version string.
DELIMITERS
string ; string of version component delimiter characters, default ".,".
(string-split-chars "a.2,c" "$,.")
;=> ("a" "2" "c") (#\. #\,)

string-unzip

[procedure] (string-unzip STR [DELIMITERS]) -> (list-of string) (list-of string)

Returns a list of substrings of STR & a list of the delimiters, from DELIMITERS, separating those substrings.

STR
string ; version string.
DELIMITERS
string ; string of version component delimiter characters, default ".,".
(string-unzip "a.2,c" "$,.")
;=> ("a" "2" "c") ("." ",")

string-zip

[procedure] (string-zip PARTS PUNCS) -> string

Returns a string formed from the concatenation of the PARTS and the interspersion of the PUNCS.

PARTS
(list-of string) ; version components.
PUNCS
(list-of string) ; version component separators.
(string-zip ("a" "2" "c") ("." ","))
;=> "a.2,c"

string-trim-whitespace-both

[procedure] (string-trim-whitespace-both S) -> string

Returns the string S with whitespace trimmed.

list-as-string

[procedure] (list-as-string LS) -> string

Returns the list LS written to a string.

number->padded-string

[procedure] (number->padded-string N WIDTH [PADCHAR [BASE]]) -> string
N
number ; source
WIDTH
fixnum ; field width
PADCHAR
char ; padding character
BASE
fixnum ; number conversion base

string-fixed-length

[procedure] (string-fixed-length S N [pad-char: #\space] [trailing: "..."]) -> string

Returns the string S with the string-length fixed to N.

A shorter string is padded. A longer string is truncated, & suffixed with the trailing.

string-subsequence?

[procedure] (string-subsequence? S T) -> boolean

Returns whether the characters of S occur in order thru T.

string-longest-common-prefix

[procedure] (string-longest-common-prefix STRINGS) -> string

Returns the longest comment prefix of STRINGS.

STRINGS
(list-of string)

string-longest-common-suffix

[procedure] (string-longest-common-suffix STRINGS) -> string

Returns the longest comment suffix of STRINGS.

STRINGS
(list-of string)

string-longest-prefix

[procedure] (string-longest-prefix CANDIDATE OTHERS) -> (or boolean string)

Returns the member with the longest comment prefix of CANDIDATE from OTHERS, or #f.

CANDIDATE
string
OTHERS
(list-of string)

string-longest-suffix

[procedure] (string-longest-suffix CANDIDATE OTHERS) -> (or boolean string)

Returns the member with the longest comment suffix of CANDIDATE from OTHERS, or #f.

CANDIDATE
string
OTHERS
(list-of string)

String Interpolation

Extends the read-syntax with #"..." where tagged scheme expressions in the string are evaluated at runtime:

#"@ #(+ 1 2)## (#'and #1 #2) = #(and 1 2) trailing #"
;=> "@ 3# (and 1 2) = 2 trailing #"

Similar to the #<# multi-line string.

See Multiline String Constant with Embedded Expressions.

Note Support for the #{<sexpr>} subform is dropped. So SRFI 105 can work as expected:

(import (srfi-105 extra))
#"1 + 3 = #{1 + 3}"
;=> "1 + 3 = 4"
#"An \"#{string-append(\"Hello, \" \"World\")}\" example"
;=> "An \"Hello, World\" example"

Usage

(import string-interpolation)

Compiler Command-Line

csc -extend string-interpolation ...

Interpreter Command-Line

csi -require-extension string-interpolation ...

Activates string-interpolation #"..." syntax.

String Interpolation Syntax

Usage

(import string-interpolation-syntax)

set-sharp-string-interpolation-syntax

[procedure] (set-sharp-string-interpolation-syntax PROC)

Extends the read-syntax with #"..." where the "..." is evaluated using (PROC "...").

PROC
#f ; read-syntax is cleared.
PROC
#t ; PROC is identity.
PROC
procedure ; interpolation function.

String Interpolator

Usage

(import string-interpolator)

string-interpolate

[procedure] (string-interpolate STR [eval-tag: EVAL-TAG]) -> list

Performs substitution of embedded Scheme expressions, prefixed with EVAL-TAG. Two consecutive EVAL-TAGs are translated to a single EVAL-TAG. A trailing EVAL-TAG is taken literally.

STR
string.
EVAL-TAG
character, default #\#.

Usage

(import rabin-karp)
[procedure] (make-string-search STRINGS [COMPARE [HASH]]) -> SEARCHER
STRINGS
(list-of string) ;
COMPARE
(string string --> boolean) ;
HASH
(string [BOUNDS []]) ; SRFI-69 hash procedure.
SEARCHER
(string [START [END]]) --> RESULT
RESULT
(or #f (STRING . (START . END))) ; success or failure result
[procedure] (collect-string-search SEARCHER TARGET) -> (list-of RESULT)

Perform exhaustive search of the TARGET, returing a list of RESULT.

SEARCHER
from make-string-search
TARGET
string ; search within
RESULT
(or #f (STRING . (START . END))) ; success or failure result
