String
======
Built-in string class.
Description
-----------
This is the built-in string class (and the one used by GDScript). It supports Unicode and provides all necessary means for string handling. Strings are reference-counted and use a copy-on-write approach, so passing them around is cheap in resources.

.. _class_String_method_capitalize:
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **capitalize** **(** **)**
Changes the case of some letters. Replaces underscores with spaces, adds spaces before in-word uppercase characters, converts all letters to lowercase, then capitalizes the first letter and every letter following a space character. For ``capitalize camelCase mixed_with_underscores``, it will return ``Capitalize Camel Case Mixed With Underscores``.
----
.. _class_String_method_casecmp_to:
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **casecmp_to** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` to **)**
Performs a case-sensitive comparison to another string. Returns ``-1`` if less than, ``1`` if greater than, or ``0`` if equal. "less than" or "greater than" are determined by the `Unicode code points <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters>`__ of each string, which roughly matches the alphabetical order.
\ **Behavior with different string lengths:** Returns ``1`` if the "base" string is longer than the ``to`` string or ``-1`` if the "base" string is shorter than the ``to`` string. Keep in mind this length is determined by the number of Unicode codepoints, *not* the actual visible characters.
\ **Behavior with empty strings:** Returns ``-1`` if the "base" string is empty, ``1`` if the ``to`` string is empty or ``0`` if both strings are empty.
To get a boolean result from a string comparison, use the ``==`` operator instead. See also :ref:`nocasecmp_to<class_String_method_nocasecmp_to>`.
----
.. _class_String_method_count:
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **count** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` what, :ref:`int<class_int>` from=0, :ref:`int<class_int>` to=0 **)**

Finds the first occurrence of a substring. Returns the starting position of the substring or ``-1`` if not found. Optionally, the initial search index can be passed.
\ **Note:** If you just want to know whether a string contains a substring, use the ``in`` operator as follows:
::
# Will evaluate to `false`.
if "i" in "team":
pass
----

Finds the first occurrence of a substring, ignoring case. Returns the starting position of the substring or ``-1`` if not found. Optionally, the initial search index can be passed.
----
.. _class_String_method_format:
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **format** **(** :ref:`Variant<class_Variant>` values, :ref:`String<class_String>` placeholder="{_}" **)**
Formats the string by replacing all occurrences of ``placeholder`` with the elements of ``values``.
\ ``values`` can be a :ref:`Dictionary<class_Dictionary>` or an :ref:`Array<class_Array>`. Any underscores in ``placeholder`` will be replaced with the corresponding keys in advance. Array elements use their index as keys.
::
# Prints: Waiting for Godot is a play by Samuel Beckett, and Godot Engine is named after it.
var use_array_values = "Waiting for {0} is a play by {1}, and {0} Engine is named after it."
print(use_array_values.format(["Godot", "Samuel Beckett"]))
# Prints: User 42 is Godot.
print("User {id} is {name}.".format({"id": 42, "name": "Godot"}))
Some additional handling is performed when ``values`` is an array. If ``placeholder`` does not contain an underscore, the elements of the array will be used to replace one occurrence of the placeholder in turn; If an array element is another 2-element array, it'll be interpreted as a key-value pair.
::
# Prints: User 42 is Godot.
print("User {} is {}.".format([42, "Godot"], "{}"))
print("User {id} is {name}.".format([["id", 42], ["name", "Godot"]]))

::
print("/path/to/file.txt".get_extension()) # "txt"
print("file.txt".get_extension()) # "txt"
print("file.sample.txt".get_extension()) # "txt"
print(".txt".get_extension()) # "txt"
print("file.txt.".get_extension()) # "" (empty string)

This is a more performant alternative to :ref:`split<class_String_method_split>` for cases when you need only one element from the array at a fixed index.
Example:
::
print("i/am/example/string".get_slice("/", 2)) # Prints 'example'.
----
.. _class_String_method_hash:
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **hash** **(** **)**
Returns the 32-bit hash value representing the string's contents.
\ **Note:** ``String``\ s with equal content will always produce identical hash values. However, the reverse is not true. Returning identical hash values does *not* imply the strings are equal, because different strings can have identical hash values due to hash collisions.
----
.. _class_String_method_hex_to_int:
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **hex_to_int** **(** **)**

\ **Note:** Empty lines are kept empty.
----
.. _class_String_method_insert:

\ **Note:** The ``chars`` is not a prefix. See :ref:`trim_prefix<class_String_method_trim_prefix>` method that will remove a single prefix string rather than a set of characters.
----
.. _class_String_method_match:
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **match** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` expr **)**
Does a simple case-sensitive expression match, where ``"*"`` matches zero or more arbitrary characters and ``"?"`` matches any single character except a period (``"."``). An empty string or empty expression always evaluates to ``false``.

.. _class_String_method_naturalnocasecmp_to:
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **naturalnocasecmp_to** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` to **)**
Performs a case-insensitive *natural order* comparison to another string. Returns ``-1`` if less than, ``1`` if greater than, or ``0`` if equal. "less than" or "greater than" are determined by the `Unicode code points <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters>`__ of each string, which roughly matches the alphabetical order. Internally, lowercase characters will be converted to uppercase during the comparison.
When used for sorting, natural order comparison will order suites of numbers as expected by most people. If you sort the numbers from 1 to 10 using natural order, you will get ``[1, 2, 3, ...]`` instead of ``[1, 10, 2, 3, ...]``.
\ **Behavior with different string lengths:** Returns ``1`` if the "base" string is longer than the ``to`` string or ``-1`` if the "base" string is shorter than the ``to`` string. Keep in mind this length is determined by the number of Unicode codepoints, *not* the actual visible characters.
\ **Behavior with empty strings:** Returns ``-1`` if the "base" string is empty, ``1`` if the ``to`` string is empty or ``0`` if both strings are empty.
To get a boolean result from a string comparison, use the ``==`` operator instead. See also :ref:`nocasecmp_to<class_String_method_nocasecmp_to>` and :ref:`casecmp_to<class_String_method_casecmp_to>`.

- :ref:`String<class_String>` **right** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` position **)**
Returns the right side of the string from a given position.
----
.. _class_String_method_rsplit:
- :ref:`PoolStringArray<class_PoolStringArray>` **rsplit** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` delimiter, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` allow_empty=true, :ref:`int<class_int>` maxsplit=0 **)**
Splits the string by a ``delimiter`` string and returns an array of the substrings, starting from right.
The splits in the returned array are sorted in the same order as the original string, from left to right.
If ``allow_empty`` is ``true``, and there are two adjacent delimiters in the string, it will add an empty string to the array of substrings at this position.
If ``maxsplit`` is specified, it defines the number of splits to do from the right up to ``maxsplit``. The default value of 0 means that all items are split, thus giving the same result as :ref:`split<class_String_method_split>`.
Example:
::
var some_string = "One,Two,Three,Four"
var some_array = some_string.rsplit(",", true, 1)
print(some_array.size()) # Prints 2

.. _class_String_method_split:
- :ref:`PoolStringArray<class_PoolStringArray>` **split** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` delimiter, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` allow_empty=true, :ref:`int<class_int>` maxsplit=0 **)**
Splits the string by a ``delimiter`` string and returns an array of the substrings. The ``delimiter`` can be of any length.
If ``allow_empty`` is ``true``, and there are two adjacent delimiters in the string, it will add an empty string to the array of substrings at this position.
If ``maxsplit`` is specified, it defines the number of splits to do from the left up to ``maxsplit``. The default value of ``0`` means that all items are split.
If you need only one element from the array at a specific index, :ref:`get_slice<class_String_method_get_slice>` is a more performant option.
Example:
::
var some_string = "One,Two,Three,Four"
var some_array = some_string.split(",", true, 1)
print(some_array.size()) # Prints 2
print(some_array[0]) # Prints "One"
print(some_array[1]) # Prints "Two,Three,Four"
If you need to split strings with more complex rules, use the :ref:`RegEx<class_RegEx>` class instead.

.. _class_String_method_split_floats:
- :ref:`PoolRealArray<class_PoolRealArray>` **split_floats** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` delimiter, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` allow_empty=true **)**
Splits the string in floats by using a delimiter string and returns an array of the substrings.
For example, ``"1,2.5,3"`` will return ``[1,2.5,3]`` if split by ``","``.
If ``allow_empty`` is ``true``, and there are two adjacent delimiters in the string, it will add an empty string to the array of substrings at this position.
----
.. _class_String_method_strip_edges:
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **strip_edges** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` left=true, :ref:`bool<class_bool>` right=true **)**
Returns a copy of the string stripped of any non-printable character (including tabulations, spaces and line breaks) at the beginning and the end. The optional arguments are used to toggle stripping on the left and right edges respectively.
----
.. _class_String_method_strip_escapes:
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **strip_escapes** **(** **)**
Returns a copy of the string stripped of any escape character. These include all non-printable control characters of the first page of the ASCII table (< 32), such as tabulation (``\t`` in C) and newline (``\n`` and ``\r``) characters, but not spaces.
----
.. _class_String_method_substr:
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **substr** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` from, :ref:`int<class_int>` len=-1 **)**
Returns part of the string from the position ``from`` with length ``len``. Argument ``len`` is optional and using ``-1`` will return remaining characters from given position.
----
.. _class_String_method_to_ascii:
- :ref:`PoolByteArray<class_PoolByteArray>` **to_ascii** **(** **)**
Converts the String (which is a character array) to :ref:`PoolByteArray<class_PoolByteArray>` (which is an array of bytes). The conversion is faster compared to :ref:`to_utf8<class_String_method_to_utf8>`, as this method assumes that all the characters in the String are ASCII characters.
----
.. _class_String_method_to_float:
- :ref:`float<class_float>` **to_float** **(** **)**
Converts a string containing a decimal number into a ``float``. The method will stop on the first non-number character except the first ``.`` (decimal point), and ``e`` which is used for exponential.
::
print("12.3".to_float()) # 12.3
print("1.2.3".to_float()) # 1.2
print("12ab3".to_float()) # 12
print("1e3".to_float()) # 1000
----
.. _class_String_method_to_int:
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **to_int** **(** **)**
Converts a string containing an integer number into an ``int``. The method will remove any non-number character and stop if it encounters a ``.``.
::
print("123".to_int()) # 123
print("a1b2c3".to_int()) # 123
print("1.2.3".to_int()) # 1
----
.. _class_String_method_to_lower:
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **to_lower** **(** **)**
Returns the string converted to lowercase.
----
.. _class_String_method_to_upper:
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **to_upper** **(** **)**
Returns the string converted to uppercase.
----
.. _class_String_method_to_utf8:
- :ref:`PoolByteArray<class_PoolByteArray>` **to_utf8** **(** **)**
Converts the String (which is an array of characters) to :ref:`PoolByteArray<class_PoolByteArray>` (which is an array of bytes). The conversion is a bit slower than :ref:`to_ascii<class_String_method_to_ascii>`, but supports all UTF-8 characters. Therefore, you should prefer this function over :ref:`to_ascii<class_String_method_to_ascii>`.
----
.. _class_String_method_to_wchar:
- :ref:`PoolByteArray<class_PoolByteArray>` **to_wchar** **(** **)**
Converts the String (which is an array of characters) to :ref:`PoolByteArray<class_PoolByteArray>` (which is an array of bytes).
----
.. _class_String_method_trim_prefix:
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **trim_prefix** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` prefix **)**
Removes a given string from the start if it starts with it or leaves the string unchanged.
----
.. _class_String_method_trim_suffix:
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **trim_suffix** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` suffix **)**
Removes a given string from the end if it ends with it or leaves the string unchanged.
----
.. _class_String_method_validate_node_name:
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **validate_node_name** **(** **)**
Removes any characters from the string that are prohibited in :ref:`Node<class_Node>` names (``.`` ``:`` ``@`` ``/`` ``"``).
----
.. _class_String_method_xml_escape:
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **xml_escape** **(** **)**
Returns a copy of the string with special characters escaped using the XML standard.
----
.. _class_String_method_xml_unescape:
- :ref:`String<class_String>` **xml_unescape** **(** **)**
Returns a copy of the string with escaped characters replaced by their meanings according to the XML standard.
