SUBSTRING

Syntax:

substring[T <: STRING | BYTES](input: T, position: INT64) -> T
substring[T <: STRING | BYTES](input: T, position: INT64, length: INT64) -> T

Description:

Returns a substring of input starting at position (zero-based index) and including up to length entries. If no length is provided, returns the substring from position to the end of the input.

If input is a STRING value, position and length are measured in unicode code points. If it is a BYTES value, they are measured in bytes.
If position is greater than the length of the input, an empty substring is returned. If position plus length is greater than the length of input, the substring is truncated to the end of input.
If position is negative, the position is taken from the end of the input. If the negative position is greater than the size of the input, the position is set to zero. length must be non-negative.

Examples:

When length is not provided:

input	position	`substring(input, position)`
"abc"	0	"abc"
"abc"	1	"bc"
"abc"	3	""
"abc"	-1	"c"
b"abc"	1	b"bc"

When length is provided:

input	position	length	`substring(input, position, length)`
"abc"	0	1	"a"
"abc"	1	2	"bc"
"abc"	-1	1	"c"
b"abc"	0	1	b"a"

STRING_REVERSE

Syntax:

string_reverse[T <: STRING | BYTES](input: T) -> T

Description:

Returns the supplied input in reverse order.

Characters are delineated by Unicode code points when the input is a STRING, and bytes when the input is a BYTES value.

Examples:

input	`string_reverse(input)`
"abc"	"cba"
"a🌹b"	"b🌹a"
"hello"	"olleh"
b"abc"	b"cba"

TRIM

Syntax:

trim[T <: STRING | BYTES](input: T, values_to_trim: T) -> T
trim[T <: STRING | BYTES](input: T) -> T

Description:

Trims a specified set of BYTES or CHARS from the beginning and end of the supplied input.

If no values_to_trim are provided, trims whitespace characters.

Examples:

When values_to_trim is not provided:

input	`trim(input)`
" foo "	"foo"
b" foo "	b"foo"
"foo"	"foo"
""	""
" "	""
"\t foo \n"	"foo"
b"\t foo \n"	b"foo"
"\r\f\v foo \r\f\v"	"foo"
b"\r\f\v foo \r\f\v"	b"foo"

When values_to_trim is provided:

input	values_to_trim	`trim(input, values_to_trim)`
"abcbfooaacb"	"abc"	"foo"
"abcdaabadbac"	"abc"	"daabad"
b"C1C2C3"	b"C1"	b"C2C3"
b"C1C2"	"foo"	error

SPLIT

Syntax:

split(input: STRING) -> ARRAY<STRING>
split[T <: STRING | BYTES](input: T, delimiter: T) -> ARRAY<T>

Description:

Splits a STRING or BYTES value, using a delimiter.

For STRING the default delimiter is the comma ,. The delimiter is treated as a single string.
For BYTES, you must specify a delimiter.
Splitting on an empty delimiter produces an array of Unicode codepoints for STRING values, and an array of BYTES for BYTES values.
Splitting an empty STRING returns an ARRAY with a single empty STRING.

Examples:

When delimiter is not provided:

input	`split(input)`
"foo,bar,foo"	["foo", "bar", "foo"]
"foo"	["foo"]
",foo,"	["", "foo", ""]
""	[""]
b"C120C2C4"	error

When delimiter is provided:

input	delimiter	`split(input, delimiter)`
"foo bar foo"	" "	["foo", "bar", "foo"]
"foo bar foo"	"z"	["foo bar foo"]
"abc"	""	["a", "b", "c"]
b"C1,C2,C4"	b","	[b"C1", b"C2", b"C4"]
b"ABC"	b""	[b"A", b"B", b"C"]
"foo"	b"C1"	error
