Strings

Methods you can call on any string value with a dot. They never mutate the original string - each returns a new value. String positions are 1-indexed, matching arrays.

string name = "Ada Lovelace"
log name.toUpper()    // "ADA LOVELACE"
log name.split(" ")   // ["Ada", "Lovelace"]

In this section

• Case & Whitespace - toUpper, toLower, toTitle, trim, strip.

• Slicing & Splitting - left, right, split, toArr.

• Building & Editing - append, prepend, insert, replace, replaceFirst, stripStart, stripEnd, padStart, padEnd.

• Encoding, Hashing & Input - ord, btoa/atob, encodeHex/decodeHex, encodeBin/decodeBin, hashMD5/hashSHA1/hashSHA256/hashSHA512, ask.

Regex methods

When you pass a regex value, strings gain regex-aware behaviour:

Method	Result	Description
.match(re)	boolean	Whether the regex matches anywhere.
.findAll(re)	array	All matches.
.replace(re, new)	string	Replace every regex match.
.split(re)	array	Split on the regex.

.match(pattern) with a plain string pattern returns an array of matches. See the regex package for building patterns.

Universal methods

Strings also support the methods shared by all values - .len (a property), .toNum(), .toInt(), .toBool(), .toStr(), .getType(), .clone(), .item(i). See Type & conversion methods.
