# Module StdLabels.String

    module String: StringLabels

    val length : string -> int

Return the length (number of characters) of the given string.

    val get : string -> int -> char

`String.get s n` returns the character at index `n` in string `s`. You can also write `s.[n]` instead of `String.get s n`.

Raise `Invalid_argument` if `n` not a valid index in `s`.

    val set : bytes -> int -> char -> unit

Deprecated.This is a deprecated alias of `BytesLabels.set`.
`String.set s n c` modifies byte sequence `s` in place, replacing the byte at index `n` with `c`. You can also write `s.[n] <- c` instead of `String.set s n c`.

Raise `Invalid_argument` if `n` is not a valid index in `s`.

    val create : int -> bytes

Deprecated.This is a deprecated alias of `BytesLabels.create`.
`String.create n` returns a fresh byte sequence of length `n`. The sequence is uninitialized and contains arbitrary bytes.

Raise `Invalid_argument` if `n < 0` or `n >` `Sys.max_string_length`.

    val make : int -> char -> string

`String.make n c` returns a fresh string of length `n`, filled with the character `c`.

Raise `Invalid_argument` if `n < 0` or `n >` `Sys.max_string_length`.

    val init : int -> f:(int -> char) -> string

`init n f` returns a string of length `n`, with character `i` initialized to the result of `f i`.

Raise `Invalid_argument` if `n < 0` or `n >` `Sys.max_string_length`.

    val copy : string -> string

Return a copy of the given string.

    val sub : string -> pos:int -> len:int -> string

`String.sub s start len` returns a fresh string of length `len`, containing the substring of `s` that starts at position `start` and has length `len`.

Raise `Invalid_argument` if `start` and `len` do not designate a valid substring of `s`.

    val fill : bytes -> pos:int -> len:int -> char -> unit

Deprecated.This is a deprecated alias of `BytesLabels.fill`.
`String.fill s start len c` modifies byte sequence `s` in place, replacing `len` bytes by `c`, starting at `start`.

Raise `Invalid_argument` if `start` and `len` do not designate a valid substring of `s`.

    val blit : src:string -> src_pos:int -> dst:bytes -> dst_pos:int -> len:int -> unit

`String.blit src srcoff dst dstoff len` copies `len` bytes from the string `src`, starting at index `srcoff`, to byte sequence `dst`, starting at character number `dstoff`.

Raise `Invalid_argument` if `srcoff` and `len` do not designate a valid range of `src`, or if `dstoff` and `len` do not designate a valid range of `dst`.

    val concat : sep:string -> string list -> string

`String.concat sep sl` concatenates the list of strings `sl`, inserting the separator string `sep` between each.

    val iter : f:(char -> unit) -> string -> unit

`String.iter f s` applies function `f` in turn to all the characters of `s`. It is equivalent to `f s.[0]; f s.[1]; ...; f s.[String.length s - 1]; ()`.

    val iteri : f:(int -> char -> unit) -> string -> unit

Same as `String.iter`, but the function is applied to the index of the element as first argument (counting from 0), and the character itself as second argument.
Since 4.00.0

    val map : f:(char -> char) -> string -> string

`String.map f s` applies function `f` in turn to all the characters of `s` and stores the results in a new string that is returned.
Since 4.00.0

    val mapi : f:(int -> char -> char) -> string -> string

`String.mapi f s` calls `f` with each character of `s` and its index (in increasing index order) and stores the results in a new string that is returned.
Since 4.02.0

    val trim : string -> string

Return a copy of the argument, without leading and trailing whitespace. The characters regarded as whitespace are: `' '`, `'\012'`, `'\n'`, `'\r'`, and `'\t'`. If there is no leading nor trailing whitespace character in the argument, return the original string itself, not a copy.
Since 4.00.0

    val escaped : string -> string

Return a copy of the argument, with special characters represented by escape sequences, following the lexical conventions of OCaml. If there is no special character in the argument, return the original string itself, not a copy. Its inverse function is Scanf.unescaped.

    val index : string -> char -> int

`String.index s c` returns the index of the first occurrence of character `c` in string `s`.

Raise `Not_found` if `c` does not occur in `s`.

    val rindex : string -> char -> int

`String.rindex s c` returns the index of the last occurrence of character `c` in string `s`.

Raise `Not_found` if `c` does not occur in `s`.

    val index_from : string -> int -> char -> int

`String.index_from s i c` returns the index of the first occurrence of character `c` in string `s` after position `i`. `String.index s c` is equivalent to `String.index_from s 0 c`.

Raise `Invalid_argument` if `i` is not a valid position in `s`. Raise `Not_found` if `c` does not occur in `s` after position `i`.

    val rindex_from : string -> int -> char -> int

`String.rindex_from s i c` returns the index of the last occurrence of character `c` in string `s` before position `i+1`. `String.rindex s c` is equivalent to `String.rindex_from s (String.length s - 1) c`.

Raise `Invalid_argument` if `i+1` is not a valid position in `s`. Raise `Not_found` if `c` does not occur in `s` before position `i+1`.

    val contains : string -> char -> bool

`String.contains s c` tests if character `c` appears in the string `s`.

    val contains_from : string -> int -> char -> bool

`String.contains_from s start c` tests if character `c` appears in `s` after position `start`. `String.contains s c` is equivalent to `String.contains_from s 0 c`.

Raise `Invalid_argument` if `start` is not a valid position in `s`.

    val rcontains_from : string -> int -> char -> bool

`String.rcontains_from s stop c` tests if character `c` appears in `s` before position `stop+1`.

Raise `Invalid_argument` if `stop < 0` or `stop+1` is not a valid position in `s`.

    val uppercase : string -> string

Return a copy of the argument, with all lowercase letters translated to uppercase, including accented letters of the ISO Latin-1 (8859-1) character set.

    val lowercase : string -> string

Return a copy of the argument, with all uppercase letters translated to lowercase, including accented letters of the ISO Latin-1 (8859-1) character set.

    val capitalize : string -> string

Return a copy of the argument, with the first character set to uppercase.

    val uncapitalize : string -> string

Return a copy of the argument, with the first character set to lowercase.

    type t = string

An alias for the type of strings.

    val compare : t -> t -> int

The comparison function for strings, with the same specification as `compare`. Along with the type `t`, this function `compare` allows the module `String` to be passed as argument to the functors `Set.Make` and `Map.Make`.
