String Routines
This section contains routines that enable users to handle strings.
Routines Summary
- base64Decode — Decodes from Base64. This is useful when transferring data like retrieving images stored in a database.
- base64Encode — Encodes text in Base64.
- bitwise_and — Takes two numbers as operands and does AND on every bit of two numbers.
- bitwise_lshift — Takes two numbers, left shifts the bits of the first operand, the second operand decides the number of places to shift.
- bitwise_not — Takes one number and inverts all bits of it.
- bitwise_or — Takes two numbers as operands and does OR on every bit of two numbers.
- bitwise_rshift — Takes two numbers, right shifts the bits of the first operand, the second operand decides the number of places to shift.
- bitwise_rushift — Takes two numbers, right shifts the bits of the first operand.The vacant leftmost position is filled with 0 instead of the sign bit.
- bitwise_xor — Takes two numbers as operands and does XOR on every bit of two numbers.
- chop — Returns nmb characters from str, starting with the leftmost character.
- contains — Returns true if character expression str2 is in character expression str1.
- decrypt — Decrypts text with AES Decryption using a 16, 32, 64, or 128 bit cipher.
- encrypt — Encrypts text with AES encryption using a 16, 32, 64, or 128 bit cipher.
- endsWith — Returns true if str1 ends with str2.
- escapeHtml — Escapes the given html removing traces of offending characters that could be wrongfully interpreted as markup.
- executeTemplate — Executes a template. All variables already defined in the script are passed to that template.
- hashString — Returns a consistent hash to be used across systems.
- indexOf — Returns the index of the first match of the str2 in str1 or -1 if str2 is nowhere to be found in str1.
- isAlpha — Returns "true" if the provided argument str is a string containing only letters.
- isAlphaNumeric — Returns "true" if the provided argument str is a string containing only letters and digits.
- isDigit — Returns "true" if the provided argument str is a string containing only digits.
- isLower — Returns "true" if the provided argument stris a string containing only lowercase letters.
- isNumeric — Returns "true" if the provided argument stris actually a number.
- isUpper — Returns "true" if the provided argument str is a string containing only upper letters.
- join — Returns the string obtained by concatenating all the strings from the array using the provided delimiter.
- lastIndexOf — Returns the index within a string of the last occurrence of the specified substring.
- length — Returns the length of the provided string, 0 if the string is null or has no chars.
- matchEnd — Returns the position where the match ends or -1 if it doesn't match.
- matches — Returns "true" if character expression string matches the regular expression regex.
- matchReplace — Uses a regex expression to find and replace text within a string.
- matchStart — Returns the position where the match starts or -1 if it doesn't match.
- matchText — Returns the text matched or empty string if it doesn't match.
- renderWiki — Returns the html code for the wiki text.
- replace — Replaces the search_str string with replacement_str in str and returns the resulting string.
- split — Returns the array of strings computed by splitting this string around matches of the given regular expression.
- startsWith — Returns "true" if str1 starts with str2.
- substring — Returns substring is starting at index start and stop at index stop.
- toLower — Returns the string only with lower case letters.
- toUpper — Returns the string only with upper case letters.
- trim — Returns a trimmed copy of the string passed as parameter with the leading and trailing whitespaces removed.
- urlDecode — Decodes text from URL format. This is useful when parsing a URL address used by a REST command.
- urlEncode — Encodes text in URL format.
