string Module

This module provides functions for manipulating str types. Note that strings in solus can be concatenated using the same + operator as any other value, which is why there is no string.cat(a, b)!

string.sub(str: str, start: i64, end: i64)

Returns a substring using the specified start and end. End must not be before start, and both indices are clamped

Parameters

• str: The string to slice
• start: The start index (starting at 0)
• end: The end index

Returns

• str: The substring, which may be empty

string.len(str: str)

Returns the length of a string

Parameters

• str: The string to get the length of

Returns

• i64: The length of the string, in characters
