1.4.3 Strings
Some string functions can be found in the section on Sequences as well.
| (make-character-list x) → character-listp |
| x : t |
This function will coerce a value to a list of characters.
Example: |
| > (make-character-list "hello") |
() |
Uses coerce to convert the input into a string.
| (string-append x y) → t |
| x : (stringp x) |
| y : (stringp y) |
Concatenates two strings together.
Example: |
| > (string-append "ab" "cd") |
"abcd" |
| (string-downcase str) → t |
| str : (and (stringp str) (standard-char-listp (coerce str 'list))) |
Converts the characters in str to lowercase.
Example: |
| > (string-downcase "ABCdef") |
"abcdef" |
| (string-equal x y) → t |
| x : (and (stringp x) (standard-char-listp (coerce x 'list))) |
| y : (and (stringp y) (standard-char-listp (coerce y 'list))) |
Compares two strings to see if they are equal.
Examples: |
| > (string-equal "ab" "cd") |
() |
| > (string-equal "ab" "ab") |
t |
| (string-upcase str) → t |
| str : (and (stringp str) (standard-char-listp (coerce str 'list))) |
Converts the characters in str to uppercase.
Example: |
| > (string-upcase "ABCdef") |
"ABCDEF" |
Compares the two strings for lexicographical ordering. Returns non-nil if and only if x precedes y lexicographically. When non-nil, the number returned is the first position at which the strings differ.
Compares the two strings for lexicographical ordering. Returns non-nil if and only if x precedes y lexicographically. If they differ, the number returned is the first position at which the strings differ. Otherwise, the number returned is their common length.

Determines whether x is a string.
