The Standard Library has been updated and expanded to include various new String functionalities to better handle and manipulate string data. New functions include:

Name

Description

string_join

Concatenates String or Character data.

string_replace

Searches for a string pattern and replaces it.

string_trim

Trims string by deleting leading and trailing whitespaces.

concat

oncatenates two strings.

char / byte

Returns the character at a specific index/byte position.

num_chars / num_bytes

Count the characters/bytes of a string.

A few examples seeing these new functions in action:

def output[1] = concat["Hello ", "World"] // "Hello World"
def output[2] = string_join[", ",
{(1, "a"); (2, "b"); (3, "c")}
] // "a, b, c"

Relation:

def output[1] = string_trim[" This works "] // "This works"
def output[2] = string_replace["rAI", 'r', 'R'] // "RAI"

def output[1] = num_chars["中文例子"] // 4
def output[2] = char["grün", 3] // 'ü'
