AB INITIO -STRING FUNCTION

STRING FUNCTION

String_split:
Splits the given string by the specified delimiter. Output of this
function will be a vector value.

String_split_no_empty:

This function behaves as same as string_split function. But only difference is,
this function will remove empty strings from the result set.

String_index:

The function returns the index of the first character in the first occurrence of the string.
                 
                 a. Index numbering of the string starts with 1.
                 b. If the string length is zero, then the functions returns 1.
                 c. If the string is not present, then the function returns 0.
                 d. The functions returns NULL if either of the argument is NULL.

String_rindex:

The function returns the index of the first character for the last occurrence of the string.

                 a. Index numbering of the string starts with 1.
                 b. If the string length is zero, then the functions returns 1.
                 c. If the string is not present, then the function returns 0.
                 d. The functions returns NULL if either of the argument is NULL.

                                                
SYNTAX AND EXAMPLE

String_split:

Syntax-string_split(string str, string sep_str)
Example- String_split(quick,brown,fox,",") returns
[vector  "quick",  "brown",  "fox"]

String_split_no_empty:
Syntax-string_split_no_empty(string str, string sep_str)

Example-
Difference between the Sting_split() and String_split_no_empty()functions:

String_split(“abc\ndef\n","\n")
[vector "abc","def",""] -- Empty strings in the result set

String_split_no_empty(abc\ndef\n","\n")
[vector "abc","def"] – Empty strings will be removed

string_index:

Syntax - string_index(string str, string find_str [ , integer offset ] )
Example - string_index("to be or not to be","be") result: 4

string_rindex:

Syntax - string_rindex(string str, string find_str [ , integer offset ] )
Example - string_index("to be or not to be","be") result: 17
