Strings are used as names of symbols, buffers, and files; to send messages to users; to hold text being copied between buffers; and for many other purposes. Because strings are so important, Emacs Lisp has many functions expressly for manipulating them. Emacs Lisp programs use strings more often than individual characters. </p> <p>See <a href="strings-of-events">Strings of Events</a>, for special considerations for strings of keyboard character events. </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="string-basics" accesskey="1">Basics</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Basic properties of strings and characters. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="predicates-for-strings" accesskey="2">Predicates for Strings</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Testing whether an object is a string or char. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="creating-strings" accesskey="3">Creating Strings</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Functions to allocate new strings. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="modifying-strings" accesskey="4">Modifying Strings</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Altering the contents of an existing string. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="text-comparison" accesskey="5">Text Comparison</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Comparing characters or strings. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="string-conversion" accesskey="6">String Conversion</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Converting to and from characters and strings. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="formatting-strings" accesskey="7">Formatting Strings</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top"> +<code>format</code>: Emacs’s analogue of <code>printf</code>. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="custom-format-strings" accesskey="8">Custom Format Strings</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Formatting custom <code>format</code> specifications. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="case-conversion" accesskey="9">Case Conversion</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Case conversion functions. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="case-tables">Case Tables</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">Customizing case conversion. </td> +</tr> </table><div class="_attribution"> + <p class="_attribution-p"> + Copyright © 1990-1996, 1998-2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <br>Licensed under the GNU GPL license.<br> + <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Strings-and-Characters.html" class="_attribution-link">https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Strings-and-Characters.html</a> + </p> +</div> |
