Modify Strings

Unv has a set of built-in module named string with useful methods that you can use on strings.

Upper Case

The uppercase() method returns the string in upper case:

import uppercase from "string"

a =  "Hello, World!"  
print(uppercase(a))

The lowercase() method returns the string in lower case:

import lowercase from "string"

a =  "Hello, World!"  
print(lowercase(a))

Whitespace is the space before and/or after the actual text, and very often you want to remove this space.

The trim() method removes any whitespace from the beginning or the end:

import trim from "string"

a =  " Hello, World! "  
print(trim(a))  # returns "Hello, World!"

The replace() method replaces a string with another string:

import replace from "string"

a =  "Hello, World!"  
print(replace(a, "H",  "J"))

The split() method returns a list where the text between the specified separator becomes the list items.

The split() method splits the string into substrings if it finds instances of the separator:

import split from "string"

a =  "Hello, World!"  
print(split(a, ","))  # returns ['Hello', ' World!']
