DA.Text¶

Functions for working with Text.

Functions¶

explode: : Text -> [Text]

implode: : [Text] -> Text

isEmpty

: Text -> Bool

Test for emptiness.

length

: Text -> Int

Compute the number of symbols in the text.

trim

: Text -> Text

Remove spaces from either side of the given text.

replace

: Text -> Text -> Text -> Text

Replace a subsequence everywhere it occurs. The first argument must not be empty.

lines

: Text -> [Text]

Breaks a Text value up into a list of Text’s at newline symbols. The resulting texts do not contain newline symbols.

unlines

: [Text] -> Text

Joins lines, after appending a terminating newline to each.

words

: Text -> [Text]

Breaks a ‘Text’ up into a list of words, delimited by symbols representing white space.

unwords

: [Text] -> Text

Joins words using single space symbols.

linesBy

: (Text -> Bool) -> Text -> [Text]

A variant of lines with a custom test. In particular, if there is a trailing separator it will be discarded.

wordsBy

: (Text -> Bool) -> Text -> [Text]

A variant of words with a custom test. In particular, adjacent separators are discarded, as are leading or trailing separators.

intercalate

: Text -> [Text] -> Text

intercalate inserts the text argument t in between the items in ts and concatenates the result.

dropPrefix

: Text -> Text -> Text

dropPrefix drops the given prefix from the argument. It returns the original text if the text doesn’t start with the given prefix.

dropSuffix

: Text -> Text -> Text

Drops the given suffix from the argument. It returns the original text if the text doesn’t end with the given suffix. Examples:

dropSuffix "!" "Hello World!"  == "Hello World"
dropSuffix "!" "Hello World!!" == "Hello World!"
dropSuffix "!" "Hello World."  == "Hello World."

stripSuffix

: Text -> Text -> Optional Text

Return the prefix of the second text if its suffix matches the entire first text. Examples:

stripSuffix "bar" "foobar" == Some "foo"
stripSuffix ""    "baz"    == Some "baz"
stripSuffix "foo" "quux"   == None

stripPrefix

: Text -> Text -> Optional Text

The stripPrefix function drops the given prefix from the argument text. It returns None if the text did not start with the prefix.

isPrefixOf

: Text -> Text -> Bool

The isPrefixOf function takes two text arguments and returns True if and only if the first is a prefix of the second.

isSuffixOf

: Text -> Text -> Bool

The isSuffixOf function takes two text arguments and returns True if and only if the first is a suffix of the second.

isInfixOf

: Text -> Text -> Bool

The isInfixOf function takes two text arguments and returns True if and only if the first is contained, wholly and intact, anywhere within the second.

takeWhile

: (Text -> Bool) -> Text -> Text

The function takeWhile, applied to a predicate p and a text, returns the longest prefix (possibly empty) of symbols that satisfy p.

takeWhileEnd

: (Text -> Bool) -> Text -> Text

The function ‘takeWhileEnd’, applied to a predicate p and a ‘Text’, returns the longest suffix (possibly empty) of elements that satisfy p.

dropWhile

: (Text -> Bool) -> Text -> Text

dropWhile p t returns the suffix remaining after takeWhile p t.

dropWhileEnd

: (Text -> Bool) -> Text -> Text

dropWhileEnd p t returns the prefix remaining after dropping symbols that satisfy the predicate p from the end of t.

splitOn

: Text -> Text -> [Text]

Break a text into pieces separated by the first text argument (which cannot be empty), consuming the delimiter.

splitAt

: Int -> Text -> (Text, Text)

Split a text before a given position so that for 0 <= n <= length t, length (fst (splitAt n t)) == n.

take

: Int -> Text -> Text

take n, applied to a text t, returns the prefix of t of length n, or t itself if n is greater than the length of t.

drop

: Int -> Text -> Text

drop n, applied to a text t, returns the suffix of t after the first n characters, or the empty Text if n is greater than the length of t.

substring

: Int -> Int -> Text -> Text

Compute the sequence of symbols of length l in the argument text starting at s.

isPred

: (Text -> Bool) -> Text -> Bool

isPred f t returns True if t is not empty and f is True for all symbols in t.

isSpace

: Text -> Bool

isSpace t is True if t is not empty and consists only of spaces.

isNewLine

: Text -> Bool

isSpace t is True if t is not empty and consists only of newlines.

isUpper

: Text -> Bool

isUpper t is True if t is not empty and consists only of uppercase symbols.

isLower

: Text -> Bool

isLower t is True if t is not empty and consists only of lowercase symbols.

isDigit

: Text -> Bool

isDigit t is True if t is not empty and consists only of digit symbols.

isAlpha

: Text -> Bool

isAlpha t is True if t is not empty and consists only of alphabet symbols.

isAlphaNum

: Text -> Bool

isAlphaNum t is True if t is not empty and consists only of alphanumeric symbols.

parseInt

: Text -> Optional Int

Attempt to parse an Int value from a given Text.

parseNumeric

: NumericScale n => Text -> Optional (Numeric n)

Attempt to parse a Numeric value from a given Text. To get Some value, the text must follow the regex (-|\+)?[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)? In particular, the shorthands ".12" and "12." do not work, but the value can be prefixed with +. Leading and trailing zeros are fine, however spaces are not. Examples:

parseNumeric "3.14" == Some 3.14
parseNumeric "+12.0" == Some 12

parseDecimal

: Text -> Optional Decimal

Attempt to parse a Decimal value from a given Text. To get Some value, the text must follow the regex (-|\+)?[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)? In particular, the shorthands ".12" and "12." do not work, but the value can be prefixed with +. Leading and trailing zeros are fine, however spaces are not. Examples:

parseDecimal "3.14" == Some 3.14
parseDecimal "+12.0" == Some 12

sha256

: Text -> Text

Computes the SHA256 hash of the UTF8 bytes of the Text, and returns it in its hex-encoded form. The hex encoding uses lowercase letters.

This function will crash at runtime if you compile Daml to Daml-LF < 1.2.

reverse

: Text -> Text

Reverse some Text.

reverse "Daml" == "lmaD"

toCodePoints

: Text -> [Int]

Convert a Text into a sequence of unicode code points.

fromCodePoints

: [Int] -> Text

Convert a sequence of unicode code points into a Text. Raises an exception if any of the code points is invalid.

asciiToLower

: Text -> Text

Convert the uppercase ASCII characters of a Text to lowercase; all other characters remain unchanged.

asciiToUpper

: Text -> Text

Convert the lowercase ASCII characters of a Text to uppercase; all other characters remain unchanged.
