| String manipulation | Inherits From: Object | Constructor String( s ) new String( s ) Without the new operator, the String( ) function converts its argument to a string. With the new operator, it is a constructor that wraps the converted value in a String object. Properties - length
-
The number of characters in the string. Read-only. Methods - charAt( n )
-
Returns the character at position n in the string. - charCodeAt( n )
-
Returns the Unicode encoding of the character at position n in the string. JS 1.2; JScript 5.5; ECMA v1. - concat( value, ... )
-
Returns a new string that results from converting each of the arguments to a string and concatenating the resulting strings. JS 1.2; JScript 3.0; ECMA v3. - indexOf( substring , start )
-
Returns the position of the first occurrence of substring within this string that appears at or after the start position or -1 if no such occurrence is found. If start is omitted, 0 is used. - lastIndexOf( substring , start )
-
Returns the position of the last occurrence of substring within string that appears before the start position, or -1 if no such occurrence is found. If start is omitted, the string length is used. - match( regexp )
-
Matches this string against the specified regular expression and returns an array containing the match results or null if no match is found. If regexp is not a global regular expression, the returned array is the same as for the RegExp. exec ( ) method. If regexp is global (has the "g" attribute), the elements of the returned array contain the text of each match found. JS 1.2; JScript 3.0; ECMA v3. - replace( regexp , replacement )
-
Returns a new string, with text matching regexp replaced with replacement . regexp may be a regular expression or a plain string. replacement may be a string, containing optional regular expression escape sequences (such as $1) that are replaced with portions of the matched text. It may also be a function that computes the replacement string based on match details passed as arguments. JS 1.2; JScript 3.0; ECMA v3. - search( regexp )
-
Returns the position of the start of the first substring of this string that matches regexp , or -1 if no match is found. JS 1.2; JScript 3.0; ECMA v3. - slice( start , end )
-
Returns a new string that contains all the characters of string from and including the position start and up to but not including end . If end is omitted, the slice extends to the end of the string. Negative arguments specify character positions measured from the end of the string. JS 1.2; JScript 3.0; ECMA v3. - split( delimiter , limit )
-
Returns an array of strings, created by splitting string into substrings at the boundaries specified by delimiter . delimiter may be a string or a RegExp. If delimiter is a RegExp with a parenthesized subexpression, the delimiter text that matches the subexpression is included in the returned array. See also Array.join( ). JS 1.1; JScript 3.0; ECMA v1. - substring( from , to )
-
Returns a new string that contains characters copied from positions from to to-1 of string . If to is omitted, the substring extends to the end of the string. Negative arguments are not allowed. - substr( start , length )
-
Returns a copy of the portion of this string starting at start and continuing for length characters, or to the end of the string, if length is not specified. JS 1.2; JScript 3.0; nonstandard: use slice( ) or substring( ) instead. - toLowerCase( )
-
Returns a copy of the string, with all uppercase letters converted to their lowercase equivalent, if they have one. - toUpperCase( )
-
Returns a copy of the string, with all lowercase letters converted to their uppercase equivalent, if they have one. Static Functions - String.fromCharCode( c1, c2, ... )
-
Returns a new string containing characters with the encodings specified by the numeric arguments. JS 1.2; JScript 3.0; ECMA v1.  |
