#### pub fn is_char_boundary(&self, index: usize) -> bool

Checks that `index`-th byte is the first byte in a UTF-8 code point sequence or the end of the string.

The start and end of the string (when `index == self.len()`) are considered to be boundaries.

Returns `false` if `index` is greater than `self.len()`.

##### Examples

    let s = "Löwe 老虎 Léopard";
    assert!(s.is_char_boundary(0));
    // start of `老`
    assert!(s.is_char_boundary(6));
    assert!(s.is_char_boundary(s.len()));

    // second byte of `ö`
    assert!(!s.is_char_boundary(2));

    // third byte of `老`
    assert!(!s.is_char_boundary(8));

#### pub fn floor_char_boundary(&self, index: usize) -> usize

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`round_char_boundary`)

Finds the closest `x` not exceeding `index` where `is_char_boundary(x)` is `true`.

This method can help you truncate a string so that it’s still valid UTF-8, but doesn’t exceed a given number of bytes. Note that this is done purely at the character level and can still visually split graphemes, even though the underlying characters aren’t split. For example, the emoji 🧑‍🔬 (scientist) could be split so that the string only includes 🧑 (person) instead.

##### Examples

    #![feature(round_char_boundary)]
    let s = "❤️🧡💛💚💙💜";
    assert_eq!(s.len(), 26);
    assert!(!s.is_char_boundary(13));

    let closest = s.floor_char_boundary(13);
    assert_eq!(closest, 10);
    assert_eq!(&s[..closest], "❤️🧡");

source

#### pub fn ceil_char_boundary(&self, index: usize) -> usize

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`round_char_boundary`)

Finds the closest `x` not below `index` where `is_char_boundary(x)` is `true`.

This method is the natural complement to `floor_char_boundary`. See that method for more details.

##### Panics

Panics if `index > self.len()`.

##### Examples

    #![feature(round_char_boundary)]
    let s = "❤️🧡💛💚💙💜";
    assert_eq!(s.len(), 26);
    assert!(!s.is_char_boundary(13));

    let closest = s.ceil_char_boundary(13);
    assert_eq!(closest, 14);
    assert_eq!(&s[..closest], "❤️🧡💛");

#### pub fn as_bytes(&self) -> &[u8]ⓘNotable traits for &'_ [u8]`impl<'_> Read for &'_ [u8]impl<'_> Write for &'_ mut [u8]`

Converts a string slice to a byte slice. To convert the byte slice back into a string slice, use the `from_utf8` function.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let bytes = "bors".as_bytes();
    assert_eq!(b"bors", bytes);

1.20.0 · source

#### pub unsafe fn as_bytes_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [u8]ⓘNotable traits for &'_ [u8]`impl<'_> Read for &'_ [u8]impl<'_> Write for &'_ mut [u8]`

Converts a mutable string slice to a mutable byte slice.

##### Safety

The caller must ensure that the content of the slice is valid UTF-8 before the borrow ends and the underlying `str` is used.

Use of a `str` whose contents are not valid UTF-8 is undefined behavior.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let mut s = String::from("Hello");
    let bytes = unsafe { s.as_bytes_mut() };

    assert_eq!(b"Hello", bytes);

Mutability:

    let mut s = String::from("🗻∈🌏");

    unsafe {
        let bytes = s.as_bytes_mut();

        bytes[0] = 0xF0;
        bytes[1] = 0x9F;
        bytes[2] = 0x8D;
        bytes[3] = 0x94;
    }

    assert_eq!("🍔∈🌏", s);

#### pub fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const u8

Converts a string slice to a raw pointer.

As string slices are a slice of bytes, the raw pointer points to a `u8`. This pointer will be pointing to the first byte of the string slice.

The caller must ensure that the returned pointer is never written to. If you need to mutate the contents of the string slice, use `as_mut_ptr`.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let s = "Hello";
    let ptr = s.as_ptr();

1.36.0 · source

#### pub fn as_mut_ptr(&mut self) -> *mut u8

Converts a mutable string slice to a raw pointer.

As string slices are a slice of bytes, the raw pointer points to a `u8`. This pointer will be pointing to the first byte of the string slice.

It is your responsibility to make sure that the string slice only gets modified in a way that it remains valid UTF-8.

#### pub fn get<I>(&self, i: I) -> Option<&<I as SliceIndex<str>>::Output> where
I: SliceIndex<str>,

Returns a subslice of `str`.

This is the non-panicking alternative to indexing the `str`. Returns `None` whenever equivalent indexing operation would panic.

##### Examples

    let v = String::from("🗻∈🌏");

    assert_eq!(Some("🗻"), v.get(0..4));

    // indices not on UTF-8 sequence boundaries
    assert!(v.get(1..).is_none());

Returns a mutable subslice of `str`.

This is the non-panicking alternative to indexing the `str`. Returns `None` whenever equivalent indexing operation would panic.

##### Examples

    let mut v = String::from("hello");
    // correct length
    assert!(v.get_mut(0..5).is_some());
    // out of bounds
    assert!(v.get_mut(..42).is_none());
    assert_eq!(Some("he"), v.get_mut(0..2).map(|v| &*v));

    assert_eq!("hello", v);
    {
        let s = v.get_mut(0..2);
        let s = s.map(|s| {
            s.make_ascii_uppercase();
            &*s

#### pub unsafe fn get_unchecked<I>(&self, i: I) -> &<I as SliceIndex<str>>::Output where
I: SliceIndex<str>,

Returns an unchecked subslice of `str`.

This is the unchecked alternative to indexing the `str`.

##### Safety

Callers of this function are responsible that these preconditions are satisfied:

- The starting index must not exceed the ending index;
- Indexes must be within bounds of the original slice;
- Indexes must lie on UTF-8 sequence boundaries.

Failing that, the returned string slice may reference invalid memory or violate the invariants communicated by the `str` type.

##### Examples

    let v = "🗻∈🌏";
    unsafe {
        assert_eq!("🗻", v.get_unchecked(0..4));
        assert_eq!("∈", v.get_unchecked(4..7));
        assert_eq!("🌏", v.get_unchecked(7..11));

#### pub unsafe fn get_unchecked_mut<I>(
&mut self,
i: I
) -> &mut <I as SliceIndex<str>>::Output where
I: SliceIndex<str>,

Returns a mutable, unchecked subslice of `str`.

This is the unchecked alternative to indexing the `str`.

##### Safety

Callers of this function are responsible that these preconditions are satisfied:

- The starting index must not exceed the ending index;
- Indexes must be within bounds of the original slice;
- Indexes must lie on UTF-8 sequence boundaries.

#### pub unsafe fn slice_unchecked(&self, begin: usize, end: usize) -> &str

👎 Deprecated since 1.29.0:

use `get_unchecked(begin..end)` instead

Creates a string slice from another string slice, bypassing safety checks.

This is generally not recommended, use with caution! For a safe alternative see `str` and `Index`.

This new slice goes from `begin` to `end`, including `begin` but excluding `end`.

To get a mutable string slice instead, see the `slice_mut_unchecked` method.

##### Safety

Callers of this function are responsible that three preconditions are satisfied:

- `begin` must not exceed `end`.
- `begin` and `end` must be byte positions within the string slice.
- `begin` and `end` must lie on UTF-8 sequence boundaries.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let s = "Löwe 老虎 Léopard";

    unsafe {
        assert_eq!("Löwe 老虎 Léopard", s.slice_unchecked(0, 21));
    }

    let s = "Hello, world!";

Creates a string slice from another string slice, bypassing safety checks. This is generally not recommended, use with caution! For a safe alternative see `str` and `IndexMut`.

This new slice goes from `begin` to `end`, including `begin` but excluding `end`.

To get an immutable string slice instead, see the `slice_unchecked` method.

##### Safety

Callers of this function are responsible that three preconditions are satisfied:

#### pub fn split_at(&self, mid: usize) -> (&str, &str)

Divide one string slice into two at an index.

The argument, `mid`, should be a byte offset from the start of the string. It must also be on the boundary of a UTF-8 code point.

The two slices returned go from the start of the string slice to `mid`, and from `mid` to the end of the string slice.

To get mutable string slices instead, see the `split_at_mut` method.

##### Panics

Panics if `mid` is not on a UTF-8 code point boundary, or if it is past the end of the last code point of the string slice.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let s = "Per Martin-Löf";

    let (first, last) = s.split_at(3);

    assert_eq!("Per", first);
    assert_eq!(" Martin-Löf", last);

#### pub fn chars(&self) -> Chars<'_>

Returns an iterator over the `char`s of a string slice.

As a string slice consists of valid UTF-8, we can iterate through a string slice by `char`. This method returns such an iterator.

It’s important to remember that `char` represents a Unicode Scalar Value, and might not match your idea of what a ‘character’ is. Iteration over grapheme clusters may be what you actually want. This functionality is not provided by Rust’s standard library, check crates.io instead.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let word = "goodbye";

    let count = word.chars().count();
    assert_eq!(7, count);

    let mut chars = word.chars();

    assert_eq!(Some('g'), chars.next());
    assert_eq!(Some('o'), chars.next());
    assert_eq!(Some('o'), chars.next());
    assert_eq!(Some('d'), chars.next());
    assert_eq!(Some('b'), chars.next());
    assert_eq!(Some('y'), chars.next());
    assert_eq!(Some('e'), chars.next());

    assert_eq!(None, chars.next());

Remember, `char`s might not match your intuition about characters:

    let y = "y̆";

    let mut chars = y.chars();

    assert_eq!(Some('y'), chars.next()); // not 'y̆'
    assert_eq!(Some('\u{0306}'), chars.next());

    assert_eq!(None, chars.next());

#### pub fn char_indices(&self) -> CharIndices<'_>

Returns an iterator over the `char`s of a string slice, and their positions.

As a string slice consists of valid UTF-8, we can iterate through a string slice by `char`. This method returns an iterator of both these `char`s, as well as their byte positions.

The iterator yields tuples. The position is first, the `char` is second.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let word = "goodbye";

    let count = word.char_indices().count();
    assert_eq!(7, count);

    let mut char_indices = word.char_indices();

    assert_eq!(Some((0, 'g')), char_indices.next());
    assert_eq!(Some((1, 'o')), char_indices.next());
    assert_eq!(Some((2, 'o')), char_indices.next());
    assert_eq!(Some((3, 'd')), char_indices.next());
    assert_eq!(Some((4, 'b')), char_indices.next());
    assert_eq!(Some((5, 'y')), char_indices.next());
    assert_eq!(Some((6, 'e')), char_indices.next());

    assert_eq!(None, char_indices.next());

Remember, `char`s might not match your intuition about characters:

    let yes = "y̆es";

    let mut char_indices = yes.char_indices();

    assert_eq!(Some((0, 'y')), char_indices.next()); // not (0, 'y̆')
    assert_eq!(Some((1, '\u{0306}')), char_indices.next());

    // note the 3 here - the last character took up two bytes
    assert_eq!(Some((3, 'e')), char_indices.next());
    assert_eq!(Some((4, 's')), char_indices.next());

    assert_eq!(None, char_indices.next());

    let mut bytes = "bors".bytes();

    assert_eq!(Some(b'b'), bytes.next());
    assert_eq!(Some(b'o'), bytes.next());

#### pub fn split_whitespace(&self) -> SplitWhitespace<'_>

Splits a string slice by whitespace.

The iterator returned will return string slices that are sub-slices of the original string slice, separated by any amount of whitespace.

‘Whitespace’ is defined according to the terms of the Unicode Derived Core Property `White_Space`. If you only want to split on ASCII whitespace instead, use `split_ascii_whitespace`.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let mut iter = "A few words".split_whitespace();

    assert_eq!(Some("A"), iter.next());
    assert_eq!(Some("few"), iter.next());
    assert_eq!(Some("words"), iter.next());

    assert_eq!(None, iter.next());

All kinds of whitespace are considered:

    let mut iter = " Mary   had\ta\u{2009}little  \n\t lamb".split_whitespace();
    assert_eq!(Some("Mary"), iter.next());
    assert_eq!(Some("had"), iter.next());
    assert_eq!(Some("a"), iter.next());

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let mut iter = "A few words".split_ascii_whitespace();

    assert_eq!(Some("A"), iter.next());
    assert_eq!(Some("few"), iter.next());

#### pub fn lines(&self) -> Lines<'_>

An iterator over the lines of a string, as string slices.

Lines are ended with either a newline (`\n`) or a carriage return with a line feed (`\r\n`).

The final line ending is optional. A string that ends with a final line ending will return the same lines as an otherwise identical string without a final line ending.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let text = "foo\r\nbar\n\nbaz\n";
    let mut lines = text.lines();

    assert_eq!(Some("foo"), lines.next());
    assert_eq!(Some("bar"), lines.next());
    assert_eq!(Some(""), lines.next());
    assert_eq!(Some("baz"), lines.next());

    assert_eq!(None, lines.next());

The final line ending isn’t required:

    let text = "foo\nbar\n\r\nbaz";
    let mut lines = text.lines();

    assert_eq!(Some("foo"), lines.next());
    assert_eq!(Some("bar"), lines.next());

#### pub fn split<'a, P>(&'a self, pat: P) -> Split<'a, P> where
P: Pattern<'a>,

An iterator over substrings of this string slice, separated by characters matched by a pattern.

The pattern can be a `&str`, `char`, a slice of `char`s, or a function or closure that determines if a character matches.

##### Iterator behavior

The returned iterator will be a `DoubleEndedIterator` if the pattern allows a reverse search and forward/reverse search yields the same elements. This is true for, e.g., `char`, but not for `&str`.

If the pattern allows a reverse search but its results might differ from a forward search, the `rsplit` method can be used.

##### Examples

Simple patterns:

    let v: Vec<&str> = "Mary had a little lamb".split(' ').collect();
    assert_eq!(v, ["Mary", "had", "a", "little", "lamb"]);

    let v: Vec<&str> = "".split('X').collect();
    assert_eq!(v, [""]);

    let v: Vec<&str> = "lionXXtigerXleopard".split('X').collect();
    assert_eq!(v, ["lion", "", "tiger", "leopard"]);

    let v: Vec<&str> = "lion::tiger::leopard".split("::").collect();
    assert_eq!(v, ["lion", "tiger", "leopard"]);

    let v: Vec<&str> = "abc1def2ghi".split(char::is_numeric).collect();
    assert_eq!(v, ["abc", "def", "ghi"]);

    let v: Vec<&str> = "lionXtigerXleopard".split(char::is_uppercase).collect();
    assert_eq!(v, ["lion", "tiger", "leopard"]);

If the pattern is a slice of chars, split on each occurrence of any of the characters:

    let v: Vec<&str> = "2020-11-03 23:59".split(&['-', ' ', ':', '@'][..]).collect();
    assert_eq!(v, ["2020", "11", "03", "23", "59"]);

A more complex pattern, using a closure:

    let v: Vec<&str> = "abc1defXghi".split(|c| c == '1' || c == 'X').collect();
    assert_eq!(v, ["abc", "def", "ghi"]);

If a string contains multiple contiguous separators, you will end up with empty strings in the output:

    let x = "||||a||b|c".to_string();
    let d: Vec<_> = x.split('|').collect();

    assert_eq!(d, &["", "", "", "", "a", "", "b", "c"]);

Contiguous separators are separated by the empty string.

    let x = "(///)".to_string();
    let d: Vec<_> = x.split('/').collect();

    assert_eq!(d, &["(", "", "", ")"]);

Separators at the start or end of a string are neighbored by empty strings.

    let d: Vec<_> = "010".split("0").collect();
    assert_eq!(d, &["", "1", ""]);

When the empty string is used as a separator, it separates every character in the string, along with the beginning and end of the string.

    let f: Vec<_> = "rust".split("").collect();
    assert_eq!(f, &["", "r", "u", "s", "t", ""]);

Contiguous separators can lead to possibly surprising behavior when whitespace is used as the separator. This code is correct:

    let x = "    a  b c".to_string();
    let d: Vec<_> = x.split(' ').collect();

    assert_eq!(d, &["", "", "", "", "a", "", "b", "c"]);

It does not give you:

ⓘ

    assert_eq!(d, &["a", "b", "c"]);

Use `split_whitespace` for this behavior.

#### pub fn split_inclusive<'a, P>(&'a self, pat: P) -> SplitInclusive<'a, P> where
P: Pattern<'a>,

An iterator over substrings of this string slice, separated by characters matched by a pattern. Differs from the iterator produced by `split` in that `split_inclusive` leaves the matched part as the terminator of the substring.

The pattern can be a `&str`, `char`, a slice of `char`s, or a function or closure that determines if a character matches.

##### Examples

    let v: Vec<&str> = "Mary had a little lamb\nlittle lamb\nlittle lamb."
        .split_inclusive('\n').collect();
    assert_eq!(v, ["Mary had a little lamb\n", "little lamb\n", "little lamb."]);

If the last element of the string is matched, that element will be considered the terminator of the preceding substring. That substring will be the last item returned by the iterator.

    let v: Vec<&str> = "Mary had a little lamb\nlittle lamb\nlittle lamb.\n"
        .split_inclusive('\n').collect();
    assert_eq!(v, ["Mary had a little lamb\n", "little lamb\n", "little lamb.\n"]);

#### pub fn rsplit<'a, P>(&'a self, pat: P) -> RSplit<'a, P> where
P: Pattern<'a>,
<P as Pattern<'a>>::Searcher: ReverseSearcher<'a>,

An iterator over substrings of the given string slice, separated by characters matched by a pattern and yielded in reverse order.

The pattern can be a `&str`, `char`, a slice of `char`s, or a function or closure that determines if a character matches.

##### Iterator behavior

The returned iterator requires that the pattern supports a reverse search, and it will be a `DoubleEndedIterator` if a forward/reverse search yields the same elements.

For iterating from the front, the `split` method can be used.

##### Examples

Simple patterns:

    let v: Vec<&str> = "Mary had a little lamb".rsplit(' ').collect();
    assert_eq!(v, ["lamb", "little", "a", "had", "Mary"]);

    let v: Vec<&str> = "".rsplit('X').collect();

#### pub fn split_terminator<'a, P>(&'a self, pat: P) -> SplitTerminator<'a, P> where
P: Pattern<'a>,

An iterator over substrings of the given string slice, separated by characters matched by a pattern.

The pattern can be a `&str`, `char`, a slice of `char`s, or a function or closure that determines if a character matches.

Equivalent to `split`, except that the trailing substring is skipped if empty.

This method can be used for string data that is terminated, rather than separated by a pattern.

##### Iterator behavior

The returned iterator will be a `DoubleEndedIterator` if the pattern allows a reverse search and forward/reverse search yields the same elements. This is true for, e.g., `char`, but not for `&str`.

If the pattern allows a reverse search but its results might differ from a forward search, the `rsplit_terminator` method can be used.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let v: Vec<&str> = "A.B.".split_terminator('.').collect();
    assert_eq!(v, ["A", "B"]);

    let v: Vec<&str> = "A..B..".split_terminator(".").collect();
    assert_eq!(v, ["A", "", "B", ""]);

An iterator over substrings of `self`, separated by characters matched by a pattern and yielded in reverse order.

The pattern can be a `&str`, `char`, a slice of `char`s, or a function or closure that determines if a character matches.

Equivalent to `split`, except that the trailing substring is skipped if empty.

This method can be used for string data that is terminated, rather than separated by a pattern.

##### Iterator behavior

The returned iterator requires that the pattern supports a reverse search, and it will be double ended if a forward/reverse search yields the same elements.

#### pub fn splitn<'a, P>(&'a self, n: usize, pat: P) -> SplitN<'a, P> where
P: Pattern<'a>,

An iterator over substrings of the given string slice, separated by a pattern, restricted to returning at most `n` items.

If `n` substrings are returned, the last substring (the `n`th substring) will contain the remainder of the string.

The pattern can be a `&str`, `char`, a slice of `char`s, or a function or closure that determines if a character matches.

##### Iterator behavior

The returned iterator will not be double ended, because it is not efficient to support.

If the pattern allows a reverse search, the `rsplitn` method can be used.

##### Examples

Simple patterns:

    let v: Vec<&str> = "Mary had a little lambda".splitn(3, ' ').collect();
    assert_eq!(v, ["Mary", "had", "a little lambda"]);

    let v: Vec<&str> = "lionXXtigerXleopard".splitn(3, "X").collect();

##### Text directionality

A string is a sequence of bytes. ‘Right’ in this context means the last position of that byte string; for a language like Arabic or Hebrew which are ‘right to left’ rather than ‘left to right’, this will be the left side, not the right.

##### Examples

Simple patterns:

    assert_eq!("11foo1bar11".trim_right_matches('1'), "11foo1bar");
    assert_eq!("123foo1bar123".trim_right_matches(char::is_numeric), "123foo1bar");

    let x: &[_] = &['1', '2'];
    assert_eq!("12foo1bar12".trim_right_matches(x), "12foo1bar");

A more complex pattern, using a closure:

    assert_eq!("1fooX".trim_right_matches(|c| c == '1' || c == 'X'), "1foo");

#### pub fn parse<F>(&self) -> Result<F, <F as FromStr>::Err> where
F: FromStr,

Parses this string slice into another type.

Because `parse` is so general, it can cause problems with type inference. As such, `parse` is one of the few times you’ll see the syntax affectionately known as the ‘turbofish’: `::<>`. This helps the inference algorithm understand specifically which type you’re trying to parse into.

`parse` can parse into any type that implements the `FromStr` trait.

##### Errors

Will return `Err` if it’s not possible to parse this string slice into the desired type.

##### Examples

Basic usage

    let four: u32 = "4".parse().unwrap();

    assert_eq!(4, four);

Using the ‘turbofish’ instead of annotating `four`:

    let four = "4".parse::<u32>();

    assert_eq!(Ok(4), four);

Failing to parse:

    let nope = "j".parse::<u32>();

    assert!(nope.is_err());

#### pub fn is_ascii(&self) -> bool

Checks if all characters in this string are within the ASCII range.

##### Examples

    let ascii = "hello!\n";
    let non_ascii = "Grüße, Jürgen ❤";

    assert!(ascii.is_ascii());
    assert!(!non_ascii.is_ascii());

#### pub fn eq_ignore_ascii_case(&self, other: &str) -> bool

Checks that two strings are an ASCII case-insensitive match.

Same as `to_ascii_lowercase(a) == to_ascii_lowercase(b)`, but without allocating and copying temporaries.

##### Examples

    assert!("Ferris".eq_ignore_ascii_case("FERRIS"));
    assert!("Ferrös".eq_ignore_ascii_case("FERRöS"));
    assert!(!"Ferrös".eq_ignore_ascii_case("FERRÖS"));

#### pub fn make_ascii_uppercase(&mut self)

Converts this string to its ASCII upper case equivalent in-place.

ASCII letters ‘a’ to ‘z’ are mapped to ‘A’ to ‘Z’, but non-ASCII letters are unchanged.

To return a new uppercased value without modifying the existing one, use `to_ascii_uppercase()`.

##### Examples

    let mut s = String::from("Grüße, Jürgen ❤");

    s.make_ascii_uppercase();

    assert_eq!("GRüßE, JüRGEN ❤", s);

#### pub fn make_ascii_lowercase(&mut self)

Converts this string to its ASCII lower case equivalent in-place.

ASCII letters ‘A’ to ‘Z’ are mapped to ‘a’ to ‘z’, but non-ASCII letters are unchanged.

To return a new lowercased value without modifying the existing one, use `to_ascii_lowercase()`.

##### Examples

    let mut s = String::from("GRÜßE, JÜRGEN ❤");

    s.make_ascii_lowercase();

    assert_eq!("grÜße, jÜrgen ❤", s);

#### pub fn escape_debug(&self) -> EscapeDebug<'_>

Return an iterator that escapes each char in `self` with `char::escape_debug`.

Note: only extended grapheme codepoints that begin the string will be escaped.

##### Examples

As an iterator:

    for c in "❤\n!".escape_debug() {
        print!("{c}");
    }
    println!();

Using `println!` directly:

    println!("{}", "❤\n!".escape_debug());

Both are equivalent to:

    println!("❤\\n!");

Using `to_string`:

    assert_eq!("❤\n!".escape_debug().to_string(), "❤\\n!");

1.34.0 · source

#### pub fn escape_default(&self) -> EscapeDefault<'_>

Return an iterator that escapes each char in `self` with `char::escape_default`.

##### Examples

As an iterator:

    for c in "❤\n!".escape_default() {
        print!("{c}");
    }
    println!();

Using `println!` directly:

    println!("{}", "❤\n!".escape_default());

Both are equivalent to:

    println!("\\u{{2764}}\\n!");

Using `to_string`:

    assert_eq!("❤\n!".escape_default().to_string(), "\\u{2764}\\n!");

1.34.0 · source

#### pub fn escape_unicode(&self) -> EscapeUnicode<'_>

Return an iterator that escapes each char in `self` with `char::escape_unicode`.

##### Examples

As an iterator:

    for c in "❤\n!".escape_unicode() {
        print!("{c}");
    }
    println!();

Using `println!` directly:

    println!("{}", "❤\n!".escape_unicode());

Both are equivalent to:

    println!("\\u{{2764}}\\u{{a}}\\u{{21}}");

Using `to_string`:

    assert_eq!("❤\n!".escape_unicode().to_string(), "\\u{2764}\\u{a}\\u{21}");

#### pub fn replace<'a, P>(&'a self, from: P, to: &str) -> String where
P: Pattern<'a>,

Replaces all matches of a pattern with another string.

`replace` creates a new `String`, and copies the data from this string slice into it. While doing so, it attempts to find matches of a pattern. If it finds any, it replaces them with the replacement string slice.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let s = "this is old";

    assert_eq!("this is new", s.replace("old", "new"));

When the pattern doesn’t match:

    let s = "this is old";
    assert_eq!(s, s.replace("cookie monster", "little lamb"));

1.16.0 · source

#### pub fn replacen<'a, P>(&'a self, pat: P, to: &str, count: usize) -> String where
P: Pattern<'a>,

Replaces first N matches of a pattern with another string.

`replacen` creates a new `String`, and copies the data from this string slice into it. While doing so, it attempts to find matches of a pattern. If it finds any, it replaces them with the replacement string slice at most `count` times.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let s = "foo foo 123 foo";
    assert_eq!("new new 123 foo", s.replacen("foo", "new", 2));
    assert_eq!("faa fao 123 foo", s.replacen('o', "a", 3));
    assert_eq!("foo foo new23 foo", s.replacen(char::is_numeric, "new", 1));

When the pattern doesn’t match:

    let s = "this is old";
    assert_eq!(s, s.replacen("cookie monster", "little lamb", 10));

#### pub fn to_lowercase(&self) -> String

Returns the lowercase equivalent of this string slice, as a new `String`.

‘Lowercase’ is defined according to the terms of the Unicode Derived Core Property `Lowercase`.

Since some characters can expand into multiple characters when changing the case, this function returns a `String` instead of modifying the parameter in-place.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let s = "HELLO";

    assert_eq!("hello", s.to_lowercase());

A tricky example, with sigma:

    let sigma = "Σ";

    assert_eq!("σ", sigma.to_lowercase());

    // but at the end of a word, it's ς, not σ:
    let odysseus = "ὈΔΥΣΣΕΎΣ";

    assert_eq!("ὀδυσσεύς", odysseus.to_lowercase());

Languages without case are not changed:

    let new_year = "农历新年";

    assert_eq!(new_year, new_year.to_lowercase());

#### pub fn to_uppercase(&self) -> String

Returns the uppercase equivalent of this string slice, as a new `String`.

‘Uppercase’ is defined according to the terms of the Unicode Derived Core Property `Uppercase`.

Since some characters can expand into multiple characters when changing the case, this function returns a `String` instead of modifying the parameter in-place.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    let s = "hello";

    assert_eq!("HELLO", s.to_uppercase());

Scripts without case are not changed:

    let new_year = "农历新年";

    assert_eq!(new_year, new_year.to_uppercase());

One character can become multiple:

    let s = "tschüß";

    assert_eq!("TSCHÜSS", s.to_uppercase());

#### pub fn repeat(&self, n: usize) -> String

Creates a new `String` by repeating a string `n` times.

##### Panics

This function will panic if the capacity would overflow.

##### Examples

Basic usage:

    assert_eq!("abc".repeat(4), String::from("abcabcabcabc"));

A panic upon overflow:

ⓘ

    // this will panic at runtime
    let huge = "0123456789abcdef".repeat(usize::MAX);
