Split (p.containers.3.6.doc.containers.CCStringLabels.Split)

Sourcetype drop_if_empty = {

first : bool;
last : bool;

}

Specification of what to do with empty blocks, as in split ~by:"-" "-a-b-".

{first=false; last=false} will return ""; "a"; "b"; ""
{first=true; last=false} will return "a"; "b" ""
{first=false; last=true} will return ""; "a"; "b"
{first=true; last=true} will return "a"; "b"

The default value of all remaining functions is Drop_none.

Sourceval no_drop : drop_if_empty

no_drop does not drop any group, even empty and on borders.

Source

val list_ : 
  ?drop:drop_if_empty ->
  by:string ->
  string ->
  (string * int * int) list

list_ ?drop ~by s splits the given string s along the given separator by. Should only be used with very small separators, otherwise use Containers_string.KMP.

returns
a list of slices (s,index,length) that are separated by by. String.sub can then be used to actually extract a string from the slice.

raises Failure
if by = "".

Source

val gen : 
  ?drop:drop_if_empty ->
  by:string ->
  string ->
  (string * int * int) gen

gen ?drop ~by s splits the given string s along the given separator by. Returns a gen of slices.

Source

val iter : 
  ?drop:drop_if_empty ->
  by:string ->
  string ->
  (string * int * int) iter

iter ?drop ~by s splits the given string s along the given separator by. Returns an iter of slices.

since 2.8

Source

val seq : 
  ?drop:drop_if_empty ->
  by:string ->
  string ->
  (string * int * int) Seq.t

seq ?drop ~by s splits the given string s along the given separator by. Returns a Seq.t of slices. Renamed from std_seq since 3.0.

Copying functions

Those split functions actually copy the substrings, which can be more convenient but less efficient in general.

Sourceval list_cpy : ?drop:drop_if_empty -> by:string -> string -> string list

list_cpy ?drop ~by s splits the given string s along the given separator by. Returns a list of strings.

Sourceval gen_cpy : ?drop:drop_if_empty -> by:string -> string -> string gen

gen_cpy ?drop ~by s splits the given string s along the given separator by. Returns a gen of strings.

Sourceval iter_cpy : ?drop:drop_if_empty -> by:string -> string -> string iter

iter_cpy ?drop ~by s splits the given string s along the given separator by. Returns an iter of strings.

since 2.8

Sourceval seq_cpy : ?drop:drop_if_empty -> by:string -> string -> string Seq.t

seq_cpy ?drop ~by s splits the given string s along the given separator by. Returns a Seq.t of strings. Renamed from std_seq_cpy since 3.0.

since 3.0

Sourceval left : by:string -> string -> (string * string) option

left ~by s splits on the first occurrence of by from the leftmost part of the string s.

since 0.12

Sourceval left_exn : by:string -> string -> string * string

left_exn ~by s splits on the first occurrence of by from the leftmost part of the string s.

raises Not_found
if by is not part of the string s.

since 0.16

Sourceval right : by:string -> string -> (string * string) option

right ~by s splits on the first occurrence of by from the rightmost part of the string s.

since 0.12

Sourceval right_exn : by:string -> string -> string * string

right_exn ~by s splits on the first occurrence of by from the rightmost part of the string s.

raises Not_found
if by is not part of the string s.
