<brief_description>
|
|
A built-in type for strings.
|
|
</brief_description>
|
|
<description>
|
|
This is the built-in string Variant type (and the one used by GDScript). Strings may contain any number of Unicode characters, and expose methods useful for manipulating and generating strings. Strings are reference-counted and use a copy-on-write approach (every modification to a string returns a new [String]), so passing them around is cheap in resources.
|
|
Some string methods have corresponding variations. Variations suffixed with [code]n[/code] ([method countn], [method findn], [method replacen], etc.) are [b]case-insensitive[/b] (they make no distinction between uppercase and lowercase letters). Method variations prefixed with [code]r[/code] ([method rfind], [method rsplit], etc.) are reversed, and start from the end of the string, instead of the beginning.
|
|
[b]Note:[/b] In a boolean context, a string will evaluate to [code]false[/code] if it is empty ([code]""[/code]). Otherwise, a string will always evaluate to [code]true[/code]. The [code]not[/code] operator cannot be used. Instead, [method is_empty] should be used to check for empty strings.

|
<param index="0" name="to" type="String" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Performs a case-sensitive comparison to another string. Returns [code]-1[/code] if less than, [code]1[/code] if greater than, or [code]0[/code] if equal. "Less than" and "greater than" are determined by the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters]Unicode code points[/url] of each string, which roughly matches the alphabetical order.
|
|
With different string lengths, returns [code]1[/code] if this string is longer than the [param to] string, or [code]-1[/code] if shorter. Note that the length of empty strings is [i]always[/i] [code]0[/code].
|
|
To get a [bool] result from a string comparison, use the [code]==[/code] operator instead. See also [method nocasecmp_to], [method naturalcasecmp_to], and [method naturalnocasecmp_to].

|
<param index="0" name="values" type="Variant" />
|
|
<param index="1" name="placeholder" type="String" default=""{_}"" />
|
|
<description>
|
|
Formats the string by replacing all occurrences of [param placeholder] with the elements of [param values].
|
|
[param values] can be a [Dictionary] or an [Array]. Any underscores in [param placeholder] will be replaced with the corresponding keys in advance. Array elements use their index as keys.
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
# Prints "Waiting for Godot is a play by Samuel Beckett, and Godot Engine is named after it."
|
|
var use_array_values = "Waiting for {0} is a play by {1}, and {0} Engine is named after it."
|
|
print(use_array_values.format(["Godot", "Samuel Beckett"]))
|
|
|
|
# Prints "User 42 is Godot."
|
|
print("User {id} is {name}.".format({"id": 42, "name": "Godot"}))
|
|
[/codeblock]
|
|
Some additional handling is performed when [param values] is an [Array]. If [param placeholder] does not contain an underscore, the elements of the [param values] array will be used to replace one occurrence of the placeholder in order; If an element of [param values] is another 2-element array, it'll be interpreted as a key-value pair.
|
|
[codeblock]
|
|
# Prints "User 42 is Godot."
|
|
print("User {} is {}.".format([42, "Godot"], "{}"))
|
|
print("User {id} is {name}.".format([["id", 42], ["name", "Godot"]]))

|
|
Splits the string using a [param delimiter] and returns the substring at index [param slice]. Returns the original string if [param delimiter] does not occur in the string. Returns an empty string if the [param slice] does not exist.

This is faster than [method split], if you only need one substring.

|
|
Performs a [b]case-sensitive[/b], [i]natural order[/i] comparison to another string. Returns [code]-1[/code] if less than, [code]1[/code] if greater than, or [code]0[/code] if equal. "Less than" or "greater than" are determined by the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters]Unicode code points[/url] of each string, which roughly matches the alphabetical order.
|
|
When used for sorting, natural order comparison orders sequences of numbers by the combined value of each digit as is often expected, instead of the single digit's value. A sorted sequence of numbered strings will be [code]["1", "2", "3", ...][/code], not [code]["1", "10", "2", "3", ...][/code].
|
|
With different string lengths, returns [code]1[/code] if this string is longer than the [param to] string, or [code]-1[/code] if shorter. Note that the length of empty strings is [i]always[/i] [code]0[/code].
|
|
To get a [bool] result from a string comparison, use the [code]==[/code] operator instead. See also [method naturalnocasecmp_to], [method nocasecmp_to], and [method casecmp_to].

<description>
|
|
Converts a [float] to a string representation of a decimal number, with the number of decimal places specified in [param decimals].
|
|
If [param decimals] is [code]-1[/code] as by default, the string representation may only have up to 14 significant digits, with digits before the decimal point having priority over digits after.
|

Trailing zeros are not included in the string. The last digit is rounded, not truncated.

[b]Example:[/b]
|
|
[codeblock]

String.num(3.141593) # Returns "3.141593"

String.num(3.141593, 3) # Returns "3.142"
|
|
String.num(3.14159300) # Returns "3.141593"
|
|
|
|
# Here, the last digit will be rounded up,
|
|
# which reduces the total digit count, since trailing zeros are removed:
|
|
String.num(42.129999, 5) # Returns "42.13"
|
|
|
|
# If `decimals` is not specified, the maximum number of significant digits is 14:
|
|
String.num(-0.0000012345432123454321) # Returns "-0.00000123454321"

|
Splits the string using a [param delimiter] and returns an array of the substrings, starting from the end of the string. The splits in the returned array appear in the same order as the original string. If [param delimiter] is an empty string, each substring will be a single character.
|
|
If [param allow_empty] is [code]false[/code], empty strings between adjacent delimiters are excluded from the array.
|
|
If [param maxsplit] is greater than [code]0[/code], the number of splits may not exceed [param maxsplit]. By default, the entire string is split, which is mostly identical to [method split].

Splits the string using a [param delimiter] and returns an array of the substrings. If [param delimiter] is an empty string, each substring will be a single character. This method is the opposite of [method join].

If [param allow_empty] is [code]false[/code], empty strings between adjacent delimiters are excluded from the array.

If [param maxsplit] is greater than [code]0[/code], the number of splits may not exceed [param maxsplit]. By default, the entire string is split.

Returns a new [String] that only contains the character at [param index]. Indices start from [code]0[/code]. If [param index] is greater or equal to [code]0[/code], the character is fetched starting from the beginning of the string. If [param index] is a negative value, it is fetched starting from the end. Accessing a string out-of-bounds will cause a run-time error, pausing the project execution if run from the editor.
