This function is a total function just like 'takedrop', indexlength exceeds range will be ingored, e.g.

slice 1 3 "hello"   == "ell"
slice -1 -1 "hello" == ""

O(n+m) Find all non-overlapping instances of needle in haystack. Each element of the returned list consists of a pair:

• The entire string prior to the kth match (i.e. the prefix)
• The kth match, followed by the remainder of the string

Examples:

breakOnAll "::" ""
==> []
breakOnAll "" "abc"
==> [("a", "bc"), ("ab", "c"), ("abc", "/")]

The result list is lazy, search is performed when you force the list.

The group function takes a text and returns a list of texts such that the concatenation of the result is equal to the argument. Moreover, each sublist in the result contains only equal elements. For example,

group Mississippi = [M,"i","ss","i","ss","i","pp","i"]

It is a special case of groupBy, which allows the programmer to supply their own equality test.

The groupBy function is the non-overloaded version of group.

O(n) The stripPrefix function takes two texts and returns Just the remainder of the second iff the first is its prefix, and otherwise Nothing.

O(n) The stripSuffix function takes two texts and returns Just the remainder of the second iff the first is its suffix, and otherwise Nothing.

O(n) Break a text into pieces separated by the delimiter element consuming the delimiter. I.e.

split == splitWith . (==)

NOTE, this function behavior different with bytestring's. see #56.

O(n) Splits a text into components delimited by separators, where the predicate returns True for a separator char. The resulting components do not contain the separators. Two adjacent separators result in an empty component in the output. eg.

splitWith (=='a') "aabbaca" == ["","","bb","c",""]
splitWith (=='a') []        == [""]

O(m+n) Break haystack into pieces separated by needle.

Note: An empty needle will essentially split haystack element by element.

Examples:

>>> splitOn "\r\n" "a\r\nb\r\nd\r\ne"
["a","b","d","e"]

>>> splitOn "aaa"  "aaaXaaaXaaaXaaa"
["","X","X","X",""]

>>> splitOn "x"  "x"
["",""]

and

These are the Unicode Normalization Forms:

Form                         | Description
---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------
Normalization Form D (NFD)   | Canonical decomposition
Normalization Form C (NFC)   | Canonical decomposition, followed by canonical composition
Normalization Form KD (NFKD) | Compatibility decomposition
Normalization Form KC (NFKC) | Compatibility decomposition, followed by canonical composition

Check if a string is stable in the NFC (Normalization Form C).

Check if a string is stable in the specified Unicode Normalization Form.

This function can be used as a preprocessing step, before attempting to normalize a string. Normalization is a very expensive process, it is often cheaper to first determine if the string is unstable in the requested normalization form.

The result of the check will be YES if the string is stable and MAYBE or NO if it is unstable. If the result is MAYBE, the string does not necessarily have to be normalized.

For more information, please review <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/ Unicode Standard Annex #15 - Unicode Normalization Forms>.

Normalize a string to NFC (Normalization Form C).

Normalize a string to the specified Unicode Normalization Form.

The Unicode standard defines two standards for equivalence between characters: canonical and compatibility equivalence. Canonically equivalent characters and sequence represent the same abstract character and must be rendered with the same appearance and behavior. Compatibility equivalent characters have a weaker equivalence and may be rendered differently.

Unicode Normalization Forms are formally defined standards that can be used to test whether any two strings of characters are equivalent to each other. This equivalence may be canonical or compatibility.

The algorithm puts all combining marks into a specified order and uses the rules for decomposition and composition to transform the string into one of four Unicode Normalization Forms. A binary comparison can then be used to determine equivalence.

Get environment locale

Remove case distinction from UTF-8 encoded text with default locale.

Remove case distinction from UTF-8 encoded text.

Case folding is the process of eliminating differences between code points concerning case mapping. It is most commonly used for comparing strings in a case-insensitive manner. Conversion is fully compliant with the Unicode 7.0 standard.

Although similar to lowercasing text, there are significant differences. For one, case folding does _not_ take locale into account when converting. In some cases, case folding can be up to 20% faster than lowercasing the same text, but the result cannot be treated as correct lowercased text.

Only two locale-specific exception are made when case folding text. In Turkish, U+0049 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I maps to U+0131 LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I and U+0130 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE maps to U+0069 LATIN SMALL LETTER I.

Although most code points can be case folded without changing length, there are notable exceptions. For example, U+0130 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE) maps to "U+0069 U+0307" (LATIN SMALL LETTER I and COMBINING DOT ABOVE) when converted to lowercase.

Only a handful of scripts make a distinction between upper- and lowercase. In addition to modern scripts, such as Latin, Greek, Armenian and Cyrillic, a few historic or archaic scripts have case. The vast majority of scripts do not have case distinctions.

Convert UTF-8 encoded text to lowercase with default locale.

Convert UTF-8 encoded text to lowercase.

This function allows conversion of UTF-8 encoded strings to lowercase without first changing the encoding to UTF-32. Conversion is fully compliant with the Unicode 7.0 standard.

Although most code points can be converted to lowercase with changing length, there are notable exceptions. For example, U+0130 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE) maps to "U+0069 U+0307" (LATIN SMALL LETTER I and COMBINING DOT ABOVE) when converted to lowercase.

Only a handful of scripts make a distinction between upper- and lowercase. In addition to modern scripts, such as Latin, Greek, Armenian and Cyrillic, a few historic or archaic scripts have case. The vast majority of scripts do not have case distinctions.

Case mapping is not reversible. That is, toUpper(toLower(x)) != toLower(toUpper(x)).

Certain code points (or combinations of code points) apply rules based on the locale. For more information about these exceptional code points, please refer to the Unicode standard: ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/SpecialCasing.txt

Convert UTF-8 encoded text to uppercase with default locale.

Convert UTF-8 encoded text to uppercase.

Conversion is fully compliant with the Unicode 7.0 standard.

Although most code points can be converted without changing length, there are notable exceptions. For example, U+00DF (LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S) maps to "U+0053 U+0053" (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S and LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S) when converted to uppercase.

Only a handful of scripts make a distinction between upper and lowercase. In addition to modern scripts, such as Latin, Greek, Armenian and Cyrillic, a few historic or archaic scripts have case. The vast majority of scripts do not have case distinctions.

Case mapping is not reversible. That is, toUpper(toLower(x)) != toLower(toUpper(x)).

Certain code points (or combinations of code points) apply rules based on the locale. For more information about these exceptional code points, please refer to the Unicode standard: ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/SpecialCasing.txt

Convert UTF-8 encoded text to titlecase with default locale.

Convert UTF-8 encoded text to titlecase.

This function allows conversion of UTF-8 encoded strings to titlecase. Conversion is fully compliant with the Unicode 7.0 standard.

Titlecase requires a bit more explanation than uppercase and lowercase, because it is not a common text transformation. Titlecase uses uppercase for the first letter of each word and lowercase for the rest. Words are defined as "collections of code points with general category Lu, Ll, Lt, Lm or Lo according to the Unicode database".

Effectively, any type of punctuation can break up a word, even if this is not grammatically valid. This happens because the titlecasing algorithm does not and cannot take grammar rules into account.

Text                                 | Titlecase
-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------
The running man                      | The Running Man
NATO Alliance                        | Nato Alliance
You're amazing at building libraries | You'Re Amazing At Building Libraries

Although most code points can be converted to titlecase without changing length, there are notable exceptions. For example, U+00DF (LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S) maps to "U+0053 U+0073" (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S and LATIN SMALL LETTER S) when converted to titlecase.

Certain code points (or combinations of code points) apply rules based on the locale. For more information about these exceptional code points, please refer to the Unicode standard: ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/SpecialCasing.txt

Check if the input string conforms to the category specified by the flags.

This function can be used to check if the code points in a string are part of a category. Valid flags are members of the "list of categories". The category for a code point is defined as part of the entry in UnicodeData.txt, the data file for the Unicode code point database.

By default, the function will treat grapheme clusters as a single code point. This means that the following string:

Code point | Canonical combining class | General category      | Name
---------- | ------------------------- | --------------------- | ----------------------
U+0045     | 0                         | Lu (Uppercase letter) | LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E
U+0300     | 230                       | Mn (Non-spacing mark) | COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT

Will match with CategoryLetterUppercase in its entirety, because the COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT is treated as part of the grapheme cluster. This is useful when e.g. creating a text parser, because you do not have to normalize the text first.

If this is undesired behavior, specify the CategoryIgnoreGraphemeCluster flag.

In order to maintain backwards compatibility with POSIX functions like isdigit and isspace, compatibility flags have been provided. Note, however, that the result is only guaranteed to be correct for code points in the Basic Latin range, between U+0000 and 0+007F. Combining a compatibility flag with a regular category flag will result in undefined behavior.

Try to match as many code points with the matching category flags as possible and return the prefix and suffix.
