make-string+ COUNT #!optional FILLprocedure

An interning make-string.

FILL is any valid char, including codepoints outside of the ASCII range, which produce UTF-8 strings.

String Hexadecimal

Usage

(import string-hexadecimal)

Returns the string (Latin1) from a hexadecimal STRING (Latin1). START and END are substring limits.

utf8->hex

utf8->hex STRING #!optional START ENDprocedure

Returns a hexadecimal string (Latin1) from STRING (Utf8). START and END are substring limits.

STRING is treated as a string of bytes.

hex->utf8

hex->string STRING #!optional START ENDprocedure

string-fixed-length

(string-fixed-length S N [pad-char: #\space] [trailing: "..."]) -> stringprocedure

Returns the string S with the string-length fixed to N.

A shorter string is padded. A longer string is truncated, & suffixed with the trailing.

string-subsequence?

string-subsequence? S Tprocedure

Returns whether the characters of S occur in order thru T.

string-longest-common-prefix

string-longest-suffix

string-longest-suffix CANDIDATE OTHERSprocedure

Returns the member with the longest comment suffix of CANDIDATE from OTHERS, or #f.

CANDIDATE
string
OTHERS

String Interpolation

Extends the read-syntax with #"..." where tagged scheme expressions in the string are evaluated at runtime:

#"@ #(+ 1 2)## (#'and #1 #2) = #(and 1 2) trailing #"
;=> "@ 3# (and 1 2) = 2 trailing #"

Similar to the #<# multi-line string.

See Multiline String Constant with Embedded Expressions.

Note Support for the #{<sexpr>} subform is dropped. So SRFI 105 can work as expected:

(import (srfi-105 extra))
#"1 + 3 = #{1 + 3}"
;=> "1 + 3 = 4"
#"An \"#{string-append(\"Hello, \" \"World\")}\" example"
;=> "An \"Hello, World\" example"

Usage

(import string-interpolation)

Compiler Command-Line

csc -extend string-interpolation ...

Interpreter Command-Line

csi -require-extension string-interpolation ...

Activates string-interpolation #"..." syntax.

String Interpolation Syntax

Usage

(import string-interpolation-syntax)

set-sharp-string-interpolation-syntax

set-sharp-string-interpolation-syntax PROCprocedure

Extends the read-syntax with #"..." where the "..." is evaluated using (PROC "...").

PROC
#f ; read-syntax is cleared.
PROC
#t ; PROC is identity.
PROC
procedure ; interpolation function.

String Interpolator

Usage

(import string-interpolator)

string-interpolate

(string-interpolate STR [eval-tag: EVAL-TAG]) -> listprocedure

Performs substitution of embedded Scheme expressions, prefixed with EVAL-TAG. Two consecutive EVAL-TAGs are translated to a single EVAL-TAG. A trailing EVAL-TAG is taken literally.

STR
string.
EVAL-TAG
character, default #\#.

String Wrap

Usage

(import string-wrap)

line-break

line-break STR WID #!optional SPACES SPACEprocedure

Returns the wrapped substrings from the text STR, each less-than or equal to the line width WID. Breaks the line at a SPACES delimiter, with any splicing performed using the SPACE delimiter.

The default is (string #\space).
