String Module

Returns a new string where all bytes are replaced with the lowercase version of themselves in ASCII. Does only a very simple case check, meaning no unicode support.

Returns a new string where all bytes are replaced with the uppercase version of themselves in ASCII. Does only a very simple case check, meaning no unicode support.

Returns a tuple of integers that are the byte values of the string.

Checks that the string `str` only contains bytes that appear in the string `set`. Returns true if all bytes in `str` appear in `set`, false if some bytes in `str` do not appear in `set`.

Searches for the first instance of pattern `patt` in string `str`. Returns the index of the first character in `patt` if found, otherwise returns nil.

Searches for all instances of pattern `patt` in string `str`. Returns an array of all indices of found patterns. Overlapping instances of the pattern are counted individually, meaning a byte in `str` may contribute to multiple found patterns.

Similar to C's `snprintf`, but specialized for operating with Janet values. Returns a new string.

Creates a string from integer parameters with byte values. All integers will be coerced to the range of 1 byte 0-255.

Tests whether `str` starts with `pfx`.

Tests whether `str` ends with `sfx`.

Joins an array of strings into one string, optionally separated by a separator string `sep`.

Returns a string that is `n` copies of `bytes` concatenated.

Replace the first occurrence of `patt` with `subst` in the string `str`. Will return the new string if `patt` is found, otherwise returns `str`.

Replace all instances of `patt` with `subst` in the string `str`. Overlapping matches will not be counted, only the first match in such a span will be replaced. Will return the new string if `patt` is found, otherwise returns `str`.

Returns a string that is the reversed version of `str`.

Returns a substring from a byte sequence. The substring is from index `start` inclusive to index `end`, exclusive. All indexing is from 0. `start` and `end` can also be negative to indicate indexing from the end of the string. Note that index -1 is synonymous with index `(length bytes)` to allow a full negative slice range. 

Splits a string `str` with delimiter `delim` and returns an array of substrings. The substrings will not contain the delimiter `delim`. If `delim` is not found, the returned array will have one element. Will start searching for `delim` at the index `start` (if provided), and return up to a maximum of `limit` results (if provided).

Trim leading and trailing whitespace from a byte sequence. If the argument `set` is provided, consider only characters in `set` to be whitespace.

Trim leading whitespace from a byte sequence. If the argument `set` is provided, consider only characters in `set` to be whitespace.

Trim trailing whitespace from a byte sequence. If the argument `set` is provided, consider only characters in `set` to be whitespace.
