strings

import strings

Most string operations are also available as methods directly on str values. The strings module provides the same operations as free functions.

Functions

Signature	Description
strings.starts_with(value: str, prefix: str) -> bool	True if value starts with prefix
strings.ends_with(value: str, suffix: str) -> bool	True if value ends with suffix
strings.find(value: str, needle: str) -> int	Index of first occurrence, or -1
strings.from_int(value: int) -> str	Convert integer to string
strings.split(value: str, sep: str) -> list[str]	Split by separator
strings.replace(value: str, old: str, new: str) -> str	Replace all occurrences

Example

import strings

def main() -> None:
    value = "a::b::c"
    print(value.split("::"))
    print(strings.split("x-y-z", "-"))
    print("compiler".replace("pile", "pact"))
    print(strings.replace("aaaa", "aa", "b"))
    print(strings.starts_with("compiler", "com"))
    print(strings.ends_with("compiler", "ler"))
    print(strings.find("compiler", "pil"))
    print(strings.find("compiler", "xyz"))
    print(strings.from_int(42))
