Functions

func Compare added in go1.5 

func Compare(a, b string) int

Compare returns an integer comparing two strings lexicographically. The result will be 0 if a==b, -1 if a < b, and +1 if a > b.

Compare is included only for symmetry with package bytes. It is usually clearer and always faster to use the built-in string comparison operators ==, <, >, and so on.

func Contains 

func Contains(s, substr string) bool

Contains reports whether substr is within s.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.Contains("seafood", "foo"))
	fmt.Println(strings.Contains("seafood", "bar"))
	fmt.Println(strings.Contains("seafood", ""))
	fmt.Println(strings.Contains("", ""))
}

Output:

true
false
true
true

func ContainsAny 

func ContainsAny(s, chars string) bool

ContainsAny reports whether any Unicode code points in chars are within s.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("team", "i"))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("failure", "u & i"))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("foo", ""))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsAny("", ""))
}

Output:

false
true
false
false

func ContainsRune 

func ContainsRune(s string, r rune) bool

ContainsRune reports whether the Unicode code point r is within s.

func Count 

func Count(s, sep string) int

Count counts the number of non-overlapping instances of sep in s. If sep is an empty string, Count returns 1 + the number of Unicode code points in s.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.Count("cheese", "e"))
	fmt.Println(strings.Count("five", "")) // before & after each rune
}

Output:

3
5

func EqualFold 

func EqualFold(s, t string) bool

EqualFold reports whether s and t, interpreted as UTF-8 strings, are equal under Unicode case-folding.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("Go", "go"))
}

Output:

true

func Fields 

func Fields(s string) []string

Fields splits the string s around each instance of one or more consecutive white space characters, as defined by unicode.IsSpace, returning an array of substrings of s or an empty list if s contains only white space.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("Fields are: %q", strings.Fields("  foo bar  baz   "))
}

Output:

Fields are: ["foo" "bar" "baz"]

func FieldsFunc 

func FieldsFunc(s string, f func(rune) bool) []string

FieldsFunc splits the string s at each run of Unicode code points c satisfying f(c) and returns an array of slices of s. If all code points in s satisfy f(c) or the string is empty, an empty slice is returned. FieldsFunc makes no guarantees about the order in which it calls f(c). If f does not return consistent results for a given c, FieldsFunc may crash.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	f := func(c rune) bool {
		return !unicode.IsLetter(c) && !unicode.IsNumber(c)
	}
	fmt.Printf("Fields are: %q", strings.FieldsFunc("  foo1;bar2,baz3...", f))
}

Output:

Fields are: ["foo1" "bar2" "baz3"]

func HasPrefix 

func HasPrefix(s, prefix string) bool

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("Gopher", "Go"))
	fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("Gopher", "C"))
	fmt.Println(strings.HasPrefix("Gopher", ""))
}

Output:

true
false
true

func HasSuffix 

func HasSuffix(s, suffix string) bool

HasSuffix tests whether the string s ends with suffix.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "go"))
	fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", "O"))

	fmt.Println(strings.HasSuffix("Amigo", ""))
}

Output:

true
false

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	f := func(c rune) bool {
		return unicode.Is(unicode.Han, c)
	}

}

Output:

4
-1

func Join

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"

func main() {
	s := []string{"foo", "bar", "baz"}
	fmt.Println(strings.Join(s, ", "))
}

func Map 

func Map(mapping func(rune) rune, s string) string

Map returns a copy of the string s with all its characters modified according to the mapping function. If mapping returns a negative value, the character is dropped from the string with no replacement.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	rot13 := func(r rune) rune {
		switch {
		case r >= 'A' && r <= 'Z':
			return 'A' + (r-'A'+13)%26
		case r >= 'a' && r <= 'z':
			return 'a' + (r-'a'+13)%26

}

Output:

banana

func Replace 

func Replace(s, old, new string, n int) string

Replace returns a copy of the string s with the first n non-overlapping instances of old replaced by new. If old is empty, it matches at the beginning of the string and after each UTF-8 sequence, yielding up to k+1 replacements for a k-rune string. If n < 0, there is no limit on the number of replacements.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strings.Replace("oink oink oink", "k", "ky", 2))

}

Output:

oinky oinky oink
moo moo moo

func Split 

func Split(s, sep string) []string

Split slices s into all substrings separated by sep and returns a slice of the substrings between those separators. If sep is empty, Split splits after each UTF-8 sequence. It is equivalent to SplitN with a count of -1.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split("a,b,c", ","))
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split("a man a plan a canal panama", "a "))
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split(" xyz ", ""))
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.Split("", "Bernardo O'Higgins"))
}

["a" "b" "c"]
["" "man " "plan " "canal panama"]
[" " "x" "y" "z" " "]
[""]

func SplitAfter 

func SplitAfter(s, sep string) []string

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.SplitAfter("a,b,c", ","))
}

Output:

["a," "b," "c"]

func SplitAfterN 

func SplitAfterN(s, sep string, n int) []string

SplitAfterN slices s into substrings after each instance of sep and returns a slice of those substrings. If sep is empty, SplitAfterN splits after each UTF-8 sequence. The count determines the number of substrings to return: 

n > 0: at most n substrings; the last substring will be the unsplit remainder.
n == 0: the result is nil (zero substrings)
n < 0: all substrings
Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.SplitAfterN("a,b,c", ",", 2))
}

Output:

["a," "b,c"]

func SplitN 

func SplitN(s, sep string, n int) []string

SplitN slices s into substrings separated by sep and returns a slice of the substrings between those separators. If sep is empty, SplitN splits after each UTF-8 sequence. The count determines the number of substrings to return: 

n > 0: at most n substrings; the last substring will be the unsplit remainder.
n == 0: the result is nil (zero substrings)
n < 0: all substrings
Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", strings.SplitN("a,b,c", ",", 2))
	z := strings.SplitN("a,b,c", ",", 0)
	fmt.Printf("%q (nil = %v)\n", z, z == nil)
}

Output:

["a" "b,c"]
[] (nil = true)
