Literal Specific Methods #

count(STRING|INTEGER) #

Returns INTEGER

Counts how often a given string or integer occurs in the string. Converts given integers to strings automatically.

🚀 > "test".count("t")
=> 2
🚀 > "test".count("f")
=> 0
🚀 > "test1".count("1")
=> 1
🚀 > "test1".count(1)
=> 1

downcase() #

Returns STRING

Returns the string with all uppercase letters replaced with lowercase counterparts.

🚀 > "TeST".downcase()
=> test

downcase!() #

Returns NULL

Replaces all upcase characters with lowercase counterparts.

🚀 > a = "TeST"
=> TeST
🚀 > a.downcase!()
=> null
🚀 > a
=> test

find(STRING|INTEGER) #

Returns INTEGER

Returns the character index of a given string if found. Otherwise returns -1

🚀 > "test".find("e")
=> 1
🚀 > "test".find("f")
=> -1

lines() #

Returns ARRAY

Splits the string at newline escape sequence and return all chunks in an array. Shorthand for string.split("\n").

🚀 > "test\ntest2".lines()
=> ["test", "test2"]

plz_i(INTEGER) #

Returns INTEGER

Interprets the string as an integer with an optional given base. The default base is 10 and switched to 8 if the string starts with 0x.

🚀 > "1234".plz_i()
=> 1234

🚀 > "1234".plz_i(8)
=> 668

🚀 > "0x1234".plz_i(8)
=> 668

🚀 > "0x1234".plz_i()
=> 668

🚀 > "0x1234".plz_i(10)
=> 0

replace(STRING, STRING) #

Returns STRING

Replaces the first string with the second string in the given string.

🚀 > "test".replace("t", "f")
=> "fesf"

reverse() #

Returns STRING

Returns a copy of the string with all characters reversed.

🚀 > "stressed".reverse()
=> "desserts"

reverse!() #

Returns NULL

Replaces all the characters in a string in reverse order.

🚀 > a = "stressed"
=> "stressed"
🚀 > a.reverse!()
=> null
🚀 > a
=> "desserts"

size() #

Returns INTEGER

Returns the amount of characters in the string.

🚀 > "test".size()
=> 4

split(STRING) #

Returns ARRAY

Splits the string on a given seperator and returns all the chunks in an array. Default seperator is " "

🚀 > "a,b,c,d".split(",")
=> ["a", "b", "c", "d"]

🚀 > "test and another test".split()
=> ["test", "and", "another", "test"]

strip() #

Returns STRING

Returns a copy of the string with all leading and trailing whitespaces removed.

🚀 > " test ".strip()
=> "test"

strip!() #

Returns NULL

Removes all leading and trailing whitespaces in the string.

🚀 > a = " test "
=> " test "
🚀 > a.strip!()
=> null
🚀 > a
=> "test"

upcase() #

Returns STRING

Returns the string with all lowercase letters replaced with uppercase counterparts.

🚀 > "test".upcase()
=> TEST

upcase!() #

Returns NULL

Replaces all lowercase characters with upcase counterparts.

🚀 > a = "test"
=> test
🚀 > a.upcase!()
=> null
🚀 > a
=> TEST
