Functions

Convert a value to string with all words capitalized.

Convert a received value to a string. If this string is not empty return these value. Otherwise return the value_if_empty_or_nil parameter value.

Merge 2 strings, A and B using a join_string as a join connector. If A is nil a receive a empty string value, making the same process to B and to join_string.

Convert a value to string, and verify if this value contains one value present on received array of values. Each value on array of values is converted to string before realize the comparison.

Decodes a URI replacing the "+" codes to right " " chars, preserving non URI "+" chars.

Convert a value to string, returning "" (empty string) if value is nil.

Extract a parameter value of an parameter values array.

Searches the position of first occurency of a substring on a string. Returns -1 for no result found, or if one of parameters is null value.

Receives a value, force to string and completes the value with left spaces until the value size == size parameter value received.

Receives a value, force to string and completes the value with left zeros until the value size == size parameter value received.

Convert a string value in raw binary format <<xxx,xx,xx>> to string

Replace searched string value by replace_to string value, into target string. Replaces recursively all occurences if is not present the recursion throwble. Otherwise replace one single time all occurencies without recursive calls when recursion throwble is detected.

Replaces all occurrences of each one element in searched_array into target, by replace_to string value.

Receives a value, force to string and completes the value with right spaces until the value size == size parameter value received.

Receives a value, force to string and completes the value with right zeros until the value size == size parameter value received.

Obtain a substring of a string begining the cut at start_position position and finishing cut at end_position. Same expected parameters and results as String.slice/3 function, however more performatic than.

Receive a string target and split it to an array of strings.

Convert a numeric value char_code_string received to the correspondent character alfanumeric of any alphabet of any language.

Convert a string character value alfanumeric, of any alphabet of any language, contained in array received to the correspondent char code.

Convert a value to string, returning the value without left and right spaces.

coalesce(value, value_if_empty_or_nil)

View Source

Convert a received value to a string. If this string is not empty return these value. Otherwise return the value_if_empty_or_nil parameter value.

If value_if_empty_or_nil is nil return the received value or a empty string case the received value is nil.

Useful to forces a default value, to validations for example.

The parameter unsafe can be set to true when you have total sure that all parameters are in binary format and not null/empty. This will improve some performance.

Examples

concat(string_a, string_b, join_string)

View Source

Merge 2 strings, A and B using a join_string as a join connector. If A is nil a receive a empty string value, making the same process to B and to join_string.

If A and B are empty then return empty string.
