Created page with "== explode() == '''table string.explode(string str, string delim)''' Splits string 'str' by delimiter 'delim'. Returns results as a table. == trim() == '''string string.tri..."

New page

== explode() ==
'''table string.explode(string str, string delim)'''

Splits string 'str' by delimiter 'delim'. Returns results as a table.

== trim() ==
'''string string.trim(string str)'''

"Trim" whitespace off head and tail of string 'str', return result.

== random() ==
'''string string.random(string type, number length)'''

Creates a random string based on the given type and with 'length' characters.
'type' should be:
{|
|-
| "alnum"
| Alpha-numeric (both upper and lower case) characters
|-
| "letters"
| Letters only (both upper and lower case)
|-
| "numbers"
| Numeric characters only
|}

== toUnicode() ==
'''string string.toUnicode(string str)'''

Attempt to convert the input string 'str' to a wide string.

		+	== likeness ==
		+	'''percent,differences string.likeness(string str1, string str2)'''
		+
		+	Computes how alike two strings are and returns two numbers: 'percent' (a float) of how similar they are and 'differences' (an integer) which is the number of differences found between them. This function is case-sensitive; if you would like to have it be case insensitive, consider casting both strings to lower-case before passing them to this function.
		+
		+	This function uses the Levenshtein distance algorithm. An important thing to note is that it is not a direct column-to-column comparison, but will instead consider string shifting where available. For example:
		+
		+	<source lang="lua">
		+	local str1 = "HelloWorld";
		+	local str2 = "Hello World":
		+
		+	print("Likeness:", string.likeness(str1, str2));
		+	--[[
		+	Prints: Likeness: 90.909090 1
		+	These two should have only one difference: the space between them! They are ~91% similar
		+	NOT 6 differences (everything after 'Hello').
		+	--]]
		+
		+	local str1 = "Hello World";
		+	local str2 = "hello world":
		+	--[[
		+	Prints: Likeness: 81.818181 2
		+	These two strings have two differences (the 'W' and 'H' due to case-sensitivity)
		+	--]]
		+	print("Likeness:", string.likeness(str1, str2));
		+	</source>
