NAME 
classes/pystring.pmc - Python String
DESCRIPTION
PyString extends PyObject to provide Python string behaviour.
Methods
PMC* "__getitem__"(PMC *self, PMC *index)- Returns the PMC value of the element at index
key. PMC* "__setitem__"(PMC *self, PMC *index, PMC *value)- Sets the PMC at element
indexto*value. PMC* "__new__"(PMC *class, PMC *source)- Create a new string
void add(PMC *value, PMC *dest)- Concatenates
*valueto the string and returns the result in*dest. INTVAL cmp(PMC *value)- Returns the result of comparing the string with
*value. void concatenate(PMC *value, PMC *dest)- Concatenates the string and the stringified form of
*valueand return the result in*dest, morphing it to a PyString if required. INTVAL elements ()- Return length of the string.
INTVAL hash()- Returns a unique hash for this value
INTVAL get_bool()- Returns the pyboolean value of the string.
PMC *get_class()- Return the class of this object.
PMC *get_iter (PMC *key)- Return a new iterator for this string.
INTVAL get_integer()- Returns the integer representation of the string.
FLOATVAL get_number()- Returns the floating-point representation of the string.
PMC *get_pmc_keyed(INTVAL key)- Extracts a given character from the string.
PMC *get_pmc_keyed_int(INTVAL key)- Extracts a given character from the string.
STRING *get_repr()- Returns pythons string repr (w/o any escaping, just single quotes around)
STRING *get_string()INTVAL is_equal(PMC *value)- The
==operation. PMC* "isalpha"(PMC *self)- Return True if all characters in S are alphabetic and there is at least one character in S, False otherwise.
PMC* "isalnum"()- Return True if all characters in S are alphabetic or numeric and there is at least one character in S, False otherwise.
PMC* "isdigit"(PMC *self)- Return True if all characters in S are numeric and there is at least one character in S, False otherwise.
PMC* "isspace"(PMC *self)- Return True if all characters in S are whitespace and there is at least one character in S, False otherwise.
PMC* "join"(PMC *self, PMC *sequence)- Return True if all characters in S are whitespace and there is at least one character in S, False otherwise.
PMC* "lower"(PMC *self)- downcase this string
PMC* "find"(PMC *haystack, PMC *needle)void modulus(PMC *value, PMC *dest)- Interpolates a formatstring with a set of values.
void set_pmc(PMC *value)- Sets the PMC
*value, calling the appropriateset_*method according to the type of*value. void set_string_native(STRING *value)- Sets the string's value to the value of the specified Parrot string.
void set_string_same(PMC *value)- Sets the string's value to the value of the specified
PyString.
