added in 0.4, january 8th 2018, waiting for Quicklisp release.

from-file (filename)

Read the file and return its content as a string.

Example: (str:from-file "path/to/file.txt").

:external-format: if nil, the system default. Can be bound to :utf-8.

to-file (filename s)

Write the string s to the file filename. If the file does not exist, create it, if it already exists, replace it.

Options:

• :if-does-not-exist: :create (default), :error
• :if-exists: :supersede (default), :append, :overwrite, :rename, :error,...

Returns the string written to file.

Added common-prefix, 0.5. Not in QL yet.

common-prefix (list-of-strings)

Find the common prefix between strings.

Example: (str:common-prefix '("foobar" "foozz")) => "foo"

Uses the built-in mismatch, that returns the position at which the strings fail to match.

Return a string, "" when no results, or nil when the input is the void list.

version 0.6 is available in Quicklisp update of end of january.

(ql:update-dist "quicklisp")

Added:

• str:split-omit-nulls, because sometimes the key :omit-nulls comes after too many parentheses.

[vindarel]

in 0.8: added string-case.

in 0.9:

• added prune: (str:prune 5 "fooooooo") => `"fo..."
• added s-first, s-rest, s-nth
• suffix and prefix functions and predicates: (str:prefix '("foo?" "foobar")) => "foo"

in 0.10 (upcoming in Quicklisp):

• added s-last
• split doesn't try to fix cl-ppcre's inconsistency anymore. When the separator appears at the end, it doesn't return a trailing "". See #18.
