UgLib.String

Shared Runs in your resource.

UgLib.String.Trim(text) -> string
UgLib.String.Split(text, separator) -> string[]
UgLib.String.StartsWith(text, prefix) -> boolean
UgLib.String.EndsWith(text, suffix) -> boolean
UgLib.String.Capitalize(text) -> string
UgLib.String.Truncate(text, max, suffix?) -> string
UgLib.String.Random(pattern) -> string
UgLib.String.Distance(a, b) -> integer
UgLib.String.Suggest(input, candidates, maxDistance?) -> string?

Split splits on a plain separator and keeps empty parts: Split('a,,b', ',') is { 'a', '', 'b' }.
Truncate cuts to max characters, suffix (default ...) included. It counts UTF-8 characters.
Random builds a string from a pattern: 1 is a digit, A an upper-case letter, a a lower-case letter, . a letter or digit. Other characters stay.
Distance is the Levenshtein distance in bytes.
Suggest returns the closest candidate within maxDistance (default 3), ignoring case.

Example

local plate = UgLib.String.Random('AA 1111') -- such as 'QZ 0421'
local name = UgLib.String.Truncate(playerName, 16, '…')
