string addslashes(string str)

Returns a string with backslashes before characters that need to be escaped. These characters are double quote ("), backslash (\), tabulation symbol (\t), new line symbol (\n), carriage return symbol (\r).

Arguments

string str - String to be escaped.

Return value

Escaped string.

int crc32(string string)

Returns a control sum for a given string.

Arguments

string string - String to calculate a control sum for.

Return value

Variable extension(string str)

Returns an extension of a given file.

Arguments

string str - File name (or a full path to it) with the extension.

Return value

File extension.

Variable extension(string str, string ext)

Changes file extension to the specified one.

Arguments

string str - File name or path.
string ext - Extension to be set.

Return value

New file name or file path.

string format(string str, ... )

Returns a string produced according to the formatting string. The formatting string is composed of zero or more ordinary characters (excluding %) that are copied directly to the result string and control sequences, each of which results in fetching its own parameter. Each control sequence consists of a percent sign (%) followed by one or more of these elements, in order:

An optional number, a width specifier, that says how many characters (minimum) this conversion should result in.
An optional precision specifier that says how many decimal digits should be displayed for floating-point numbers.
A type specifier that says what type the argument data should be treated as. Possible types:
- c: the argument is treated as an integer and presented as a character with that ASCII value.
- d or i: the argument is treated as an integer and presented as a (signed) decimal number.
- o: the argument is treated as an integer and presented as an octal number.
- u: the argument is treated as an integer and presented as an unsigned decimal number.
- x: the argument is treated as an integer and presented as a hexadecimal number (with lowercase letters).
- X: the argument is treated as an integer and presented as a hexadecimal number (with uppercase letters).
- f: the argument is treated as a float and presented as a floating-point number.
- g: the same as e or f, the shortest one is selected.
- G: the same as E or F, the shortest one is selected.
- e: the argument is treated as using the scientific notation with lowercase 'e' (e.g. 1.2e+2).
- E: the argument is treated as using the scientific notation with uppercase 'E' (e.g. 1.2E+2).
- s: the argument is treated as and presented as a string.
- p: the argument is treated as and presented as a pointer address.
- %: a literal percent character. No argument is required.

Arguments

string str - Formatting string.
... - Arguments, multiple allowed.

Return value

A formatted string.

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)

string str = format("string: %s, int: %d and float: %.4e","some words",10, 1.2e-2);
// str now is "string: some words, int: 10 and float: 1.2000e-02"

string lower(string str)

Makes a string lowercase.

Arguments

string str - String to modify.

Return value

Input string with all alphabetic characters converted to lowercase.

int match(string pattern, string str)

Simple string matching, which is faster than RegExp-based ones. Some wildcards are supported in the pattern:

?: any single symbol.
*: any string of arbitrary length.
|: OR statement; e.g.: "red|white" pattern matchs both "red" and "white" strings.

Arguments

string pattern - A pattern.
string str - A target string.

Return value

1 if match is found, 0 otherwise.

Variable memory(int size)

Converts a given number of bytes to KB (kilobytes), MB (megabytes) or GB (gigabytes) and represents them as a string.

Arguments

Return value

The result of conversion. If the size value is less that1024, it won't be converted.

Examples

Source code (UnigineScript)

log.message("The result is: %s\n",memory(2048)); 

// The result is: 2.0 KB

void printf(string str, ... )

Prints a formatted string. See the formatting string description.

Arguments

string str - Formatting string.
... - Arguments, multiple allowed.

int re_match(string str, string regexp)

Return value

Length of the matched part, or -1, if the pattern could not be matched, and -2, if an error is encountered.

string re_replace(string str, string regexp, string after)

Performs a regular expression search and replace. See the RegExp class documentation for more information on the syntax of regular expressions.

Notice

This function is an analog of the RegExp.replace() method.

Arguments

string str - String to modify.
string regexp - Pattern.
string after - Replacement.

Return value

Modified string.

int re_search(string str, string regexp, int id = [])

Notice

This function is an analog of the RegExp.search() method.

Arguments

string str - String to search in.
string regexp - Pattern.
int id - Reference to a vector.

Return value

Arguments

string str - String to modify.
string before - Search string.
string after - Replacement sub-string.

Return value

A string with replaced fragments.

int sscanf(string str, string format, int id = [])
