Commonly used Posix string as uninterpreted char[] array.

Partial unicode friendly encoding.

This encodes as UTF8 (strictly), which is a good guess.

Throws an EncodingException if encoding fails. If the input does not contain surrogate chars, you can use unsafeEncodeUtf.

Unsafe unicode friendly encoding.

Like encodeUtf, except it crashes when the input contains surrogate chars. For sanitized input, this can be useful.

Encode a String with the specified encoding.

This mimics the behavior of the base library when doing filesystem operations (usually filepaths), which uses shady PEP 383 style encoding (based on the current locale, but PEP 383 only works properly on UTF-8 encodings, so good luck).

Looking up the locale requires IO. If you're not worried about calls to setFileSystemEncoding, then unsafePerformIO may be feasible (make sure to deeply evaluate the result to catch exceptions).

This mimics the behavior of the base library when doing string operations, which uses getLocaleEncoding.

Looking up the locale requires IO. If you're not worried about calls to setFileSystemEncoding, then unsafePerformIO may be feasible (make sure to deeply evaluate the result to catch exceptions).

Constructs a platform string from a ByteString.

This is a no-op.

Like fromBytes, but not in IO.

fromBytes was designed to have a symmetric type signature on unix and windows, but morally the function has no IO effects on unix, so we provide this variant without breaking existing API.

This function does not exist on windows.

Since: os-string-2.0.6

QuasiQuote a PosixString. This accepts Unicode characters and encodes as UTF-8 on unix.

Pack a list of platform words to a platform string.

Note that using this in conjunction with unsafeFromChar to convert from [Char] to platform string is probably not what you want, because it will truncate unicode code points.

Partial unicode friendly decoding.

This decodes as UTF8 (strictly), which is a good guess. Note that filenames on unix are encoding agnostic char arrays.

Throws a EncodingException if decoding fails.

Decode a PosixString with the specified encoding.

The String is forced into memory to catch all exceptions.

O(n) replicate n x is a OsString of length n with x the value of every element. The following holds:

replicate w c = unfoldr w (\u -> Just (u,u)) c

Since: os-string-1.4.200.0

O(n), where n is the length of the result. The unfoldr function is analogous to the List 'unfoldr'. unfoldr builds a OsString from a seed value. The function takes the element and returns Nothing if it is done producing the OsString or returns Just (a,b), in which case, a is the next byte in the string, and b is the seed value for further production.

This function is not efficient/safe. It will build a list of [Word8] and run the generator until it returns Nothing, otherwise recurse infinitely, then finally create a OsString.

If you know the maximum length, consider using unfoldrN.

Examples:

   unfoldr (\x -> if x <= 5 then Just (x, x + 1) else Nothing) 0
== pack [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Since: os-string-1.4.200.0

O(n) Like unfoldr, unfoldrN builds a OsString from a seed value. However, the length of the result is limited by the first argument to unfoldrN. This function is more efficient than unfoldr when the maximum length of the result is known.

fst (unfoldrN n f s) == take n (unfoldr f s)

Since: os-string-1.4.200.0

Similar to span, returns the longest (possibly empty) prefix of elements satisfying the predicate and the remainder of the string.

span p is equivalent to break (not . p) and to (takeWhile p &&& dropWhile p).

Since: os-string-1.4.200.0

Returns the longest (possibly empty) suffix of elements satisfying the predicate and the remainder of the string.

spanEnd p is equivalent to breakEnd (not . p) and to (takeWhileEnd p &&& dropWhileEnd p).

We have

spanEnd (not . isSpace) "x y z" == ("x y ", "z")

and

spanEnd (not . isSpace) sbs
   ==
let (x, y) = span (not . isSpace) (reverse sbs) in (reverse y, reverse x)

intercalate [c] . split c == id
split == splitWith . (==)

Since: os-string-1.4.200.0

O(n) Splits a OsString into components delimited by separators, where the predicate returns True for a separator element. The resulting components do not contain the separators. Two adjacent separators result in an empty component in the output. eg.

splitWith (==97) "aabbaca" == ["","","bb","c",""] -- fromEnum 'a' == 97
splitWith undefined ""     == []                  -- and not [""]

Break a string on a substring, returning a pair of the part of the string prior to the match, and the rest of the string.

The following relationships hold:

break (== c) l == breakSubstring (singleton c) l

For example, to tokenise a string, dropping delimiters:

tokenise x y = h : if null t then [] else tokenise x (drop (length x) t)
    where (h,t) = breakSubstring x y

To skip to the first occurrence of a string:

snd (breakSubstring x y)

To take the parts of a string before a delimiter:

fst (breakSubstring x y)

Note that calling `breakSubstring x` does some preprocessing work, so you should avoid unnecessarily duplicating breakSubstring calls with the same pattern.
