val iter : f:(char -> unit) -> string -> unit
String.iter f s
applies function f
in turn to all

f s.[0]; f s.[1]; ...; f s.[String.length s - 1]; ()
.
val iteri : f:(int -> char -> unit) -> string -> unit
Same as String.iter
, but the
function is applied to the index of the element as first argument
(counting from 0), and the character itself as second argument.

typet =
string
An alias for the type of strings.
val compare : t -> t -> int
val equal : t -> t -> bool
The equal function for strings.
- Since 4.05.0
val split_on_char : sep:char -> string -> string list
String.split_on_char sep s
returns the list of all (possibly empty)
substrings of s
that are delimited by the sep
character.
The function's output is specified by the following invariants:
- The list is not empty.
- Concatenating its elements using
sep
as a separator returns a string equal to the input (String.concat (String.make 1 sep)
).
(String.split_on_char sep s) = s - No string in the result contains the
sep
character.
- Since 4.05.0
