Any language is inseparable from characters, which will involve the operation of characters, especially in scripting languages. Whether it is a production environment or an interview test, you must face the operation of strings.
Python's string operation can basically solve all string operation needs through two parts of method functions:
• python's String attribute function
• python’s string module
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. String attribute function
System version: CentOS release 6.2 (Final)2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64
Python version: Python 2.6.6
String attribute method
String format output alignment
>>> str='stRINg lEArn' >>> >>> str.center(20) #生成20个字符长度，str排中间 ' stRINg lEArn ' >>> >>> str.ljust(20) #str左对齐 'stRINg lEArn ' >>> >>> str.rjust(20) #str右对齐 ' stRINg lEArn' >>> >>> str.zfill(20) #str右对齐，左边填充0 '00000000stRINg lEArn'
Case conversion
>>> str='stRINg lEArn' >>> >>> str.upper() #转大写 'STRING LEARN' >>> >>> str.lower() #转小写 'string learn' >>> >>> str.capitalize() #字符串首为大写，其余小写 'String learn' >>> >>> str.swapcase() #大小写对换 'STrinG LeaRN' >>> >>> str.title() #以分隔符为标记，首字符为大写，其余为小写 'String Learn'
String condition judgment

>>> str='string lEARn' >>> >>> str.find('a') #查找字符串，没有则返回-1，有则返回查到到第一个匹配的索引 -1 >>> str.find('n') 4 >>> str.rfind('n') #同上，只是返回的索引是最后一次匹配的 11 >>> >>> str.index('a') #如果没有匹配则报错 Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ValueError: substring not found >>> str.index('n') #同find类似,返回第一次匹配的索引值 4 >>> str.rindex('n') #返回最后一次匹配的索引值 11 >>> >>> str.count('a') #字符串中匹配的次数 0 >>> str.count('n') #同上 2 >>> >>> str.replace('EAR','ear') #匹配替换 'string learn' >>> str.replace('n','N') 'striNg lEARN' >>> str.replace('n','N',1) 'striNg lEARn' >>> >>> >>> str.strip('n') #删除字符串首尾匹配的字符，通常用于默认删除回车符 'string lEAR' >>> str.lstrip('n') #左匹配 'string lEARn' >>> str.rstrip('n') #右匹配 'string lEAR' >>> >>> str=' tab' >>> str.expandtabs() #把制表符转为空格 ' tab' >>> str.expandtabs(2) #指定空格数 ' tab'
>>> str='字符串学习' >>> str 'xe5xadx97xe7xacxa6xe4xb8xb2xe5xadxa6xe4xb9xa0' >>> >>> str.decode('utf-8') #解码过程，将utf-8解码为unicode u'u5b57u7b26u4e32u5b66u4e60' >>> str.decode('utf-8').encode('gbk') #编码过程，将unicode编码为gbk 'xd7xd6xb7xfbxb4xaexd1xa7xcfxb0' >>> str.decode('utf-8').encode('utf-8') #将unicode编码为utf-8 'xe5xadx97xe7xacxa6xe4xb8xb2xe5xadxa6xe4xb9xa0'
>>> str='Learn string' >>> '-'.join(str) 'L-e-a-r-n- -s-t-r-i-n-g' >>> l1=['Learn','string'] >>> '-'.join(l1) 'Learn-string' >>> >>> str.split('n') ['Lear', ' stri', 'g'] >>> str.split('n',1) ['Lear', ' string'] >>> str.rsplit('n',1) ['Learn stri', 'g'] >>> >>> str.splitlines() ['Learn string'] >>> >>> str.partition('n') ('Lear', 'n', ' string') >>> str.rpartition('n') ('Learn stri', 'n', 'g')
