String

Topics

Structures

• struct Comparator
  A String comparison performed using the given comparison options and locale.
• struct CompareOptions
  These options apply to the various search/find and comparison methods (except where noted).
• struct Encoding
• struct StandardComparator
  Compares Strings using one of a fixed set of standard comparison algorithms.

Initializers

• init(_:)
• init?<S>(bytes: S, encoding: String.Encoding)
  Creates a new string equivalent to the given bytes interpreted in the specified encoding. Note: This API does not interpret embedded nulls as termination of the string. Use String?(validatingCString:) instead for null-terminated C strings.
• init(contentsOf: URL, encoding: String.Encoding) throws
  Produces a string created by reading data from a given URL interpreted using a given encoding.
• init(contentsOf: URL, usedEncoding: inout String.Encoding) throws
  Produces a string created by reading data from a given URL and returns by reference the encoding used to interpret the data.
• init(contentsOfFile: String, encoding: String.Encoding) throws
  Produces a string created by reading data from the file at a given path interpreted using a given encoding.
• init(contentsOfFile: String, usedEncoding: inout String.Encoding) throws
  Produces a string created by reading data from the file at a given path and returns by reference the encoding used to interpret the file.
• init?(data: Data, encoding: String.Encoding)
  Returns a String initialized by converting given data into Unicode characters using a given encoding.

Instance Methods

• func data(using: String.Encoding, allowLossyConversion: Bool) -> Data?
