Set this keyword to ignore case when doing comparisons. The string to compare against the end of the string variable. If var is an array then Result is a byte array of the same dimensions. Result = var.EndsWith( String ) Return ValueДЄ boolean value of 0 (false) or 1 (true). ExamplesД¬reate a sentence and print the result of EndsWith on that sentence: str = 'hello fellow IDLВ user.' Check if the string ends with 3 periods. The IDL_String::EndsWith method determines whether the string ends with a given string. The result is a boolean value 1 (true) if the string contains the substring, or 0 otherwise. Result = var.Contains( Substring, /FOLD_CASE ) Return Value ExamplesДetermine whether each element of a string array contains a specific substring: str = PRINT, str. The IDL_String::Contains method determines whether the string contains a given substring. If var is an array then the result is a string array of the same dimensions. Compress() Print the new string and its length. ExamplesД¬reate a string with spaces: str = ' I D L is C o o l ! ' PRINT, str. This is equivalent to calling STRCOMPRESS with the REMOVE_ALL keyword. The IDL_String::Compress method removes all spaces and tabs within a string. If var is an array then Result is a string array of the same dimensions. Result = var.CharAt( Index ) Return ValueДЄ string containing the character found at the given index. ExamplesД¬reate a string and print the result given an index: str = 'IDL' Print the character at each index. The IDL_String::CharAt method returns a character from the string. Set this keyword to ignore the capitalization of the first character. Set this keyword to ignore case when searching for space characters. ArgumentsДЄ character string designating the space character that will capitalize each character immediately following the space character. Result = var.CapWords( ) Return ValueДЄ string with a value containing capitalized characters as specified by the given argument or keywords. CapWords( '_', /FOLD_CASE, /IGNORE_FIRST) Pass in a character for the space argument, and include the optional keywords: str = 'hello_fellow_IDL_user.' PRINT, str. ExamplesД¬reate a sentence and print the result of CapWords on that sentence: str = 'hello fellow IDLВ user.' PRINT, str. The IDL_String::CapWords method capitalizes the beginning letter of all words within the string. Trim: Removes leading and trailing white space.ToUpper: Convert all characters to uppercase.ToLower: Convert all characters to lowercase.StartsWith: Returns true if the string starts with the given string.Split: Split into substrings using a regular expression.Replace: Replaces text within the string.Matches: Returns true if the string matches a regular expression.LastIndexOf: Returns the last index of a character or substring.Join: Combines multiple strings into a single string.IndexOf: Returns the index of a character or substring.Extract: Returns part of the string using a regular expression.EndsWith: Returns true if the string ends with the given string.Contains: Returns true if the string contains a given substring.CharAt: Returns the character at the supplied index.CapWords: Capitalize any words contained within the string.In addition, because IDL_String is a subclass of IDL_Variable, all of the IDL_Variable methods are also available. The IDL_String class contains static methods that are available for all IDL strings.
