15 JavaScript String Functions

This guide provides an overview of 15 basic JavaScript string functions that are ideal for jQuery scripts and other string operations.

Core points:

• This article introduces 15 basic JavaScript string functions, including charAt(x), charCodeAt(x), concat(v1, v2,…), fromCharCode(c1, c2,…), indexOf(substr, [start]), lastIndexOf(substr, [start]), match(regexp), replace(regexp/substr, replacetext), search(regexp), slice(start, [end]), split(delimiter, [limit]), substr(start, [length]), substring(from, [to]), toLowerCase(), toUpperCase(),

Each function comes with usage examples and expected output, providing a practical guide for those who learn JavaScript or need to review these string functions. This article also answers some common questions about JavaScript string functions, such as the difference between and , how to convert a string to an array or change its case, what is for it, and how to check if a string contains a specific word. Example of JavaScript string function:

1. charAt(x) Returns the character at the "x" position in the string.

// charAt(x)
var myString = 'jQuery FTW!!!';
console.log(myString.charAt(7));
// 输出：F

2. charCodeAt(x) Returns the Unicode value of the character "x" position in the string.

// charCodeAt(position)
var message = "jquery4u";
// 警报显示 "q"
alert(message.charCodeAt(1));

3. concat(v1, v2,…) Combine one or more strings (parameters v1, v2, etc.) into an existing string and return the combined string. The original string will not be modified.

// concat(v1, v2,..)
var message = "Sam";
var final = message.concat(" is a", " hopeless romantic.");
// 警报显示 "Sam is a hopeless romantic."
alert(final);

4. fromCharCode(c1, c2,…) Create a string using the specified sequence of Unicode values ​​(parameters c1, c2, etc.). is a method of the String object, not a method of the String instance. For example: String.fromCharCode().

// fromCharCode(c1, c2,...)
console.log(String.fromCharCode(97, 98, 99, 120, 121, 122));
// 输出：abcxyz
console.log(String.fromCharCode(72, 69, 76, 76, 79));
// 输出：HELLO

5. indexOf(substr, [start]) Search and return the index number of the character or substring searched in (if found). If not found, return -1. "Start" is an optional parameter that specifies where the search starts in the string. The default is 0.

// indexOf(char/substring)
var sentence = "Hi, my name is Sam!";
if (sentence.indexOf("Sam") != -1)
  alert("Sam is in there!");

6. lastIndexOf(substr, [start]) Search and return the index number of the character or substring searched in (if found). Start the search from the end of the string. If not found, return -1. "Start" is an optional parameter that specifies where the search starts in the string. The default is string.length-1.

// lastIndexOf(substr, [start])
var myString = 'javascript rox';
console.log(myString.lastIndexOf('r'));
// 输出：11

7. match(regexp) Performs a search for matches in a string based on regular expressions. If a match is found, an array containing information is returned; if no match is found, null is returned.

// match(regexp) // 只选择整数
var intRegex = /[0-9 -()+]+$/;

var myNumber = '999';
var myInt = myNumber.match(intRegex);
console.log(myInt); // 输出：999

var myString = '999 JS Coders';
var myInt = myString.match(intRegex);
console.log(myInt); // 输出：null

8. replace(regexp/substr, replacetext) Search and replace the regular expression (or substring) part (match) to replace text.

// replace(substr, replacetext)
var myString = '999 JavaScript Coders';
console.log(myString.replace(/JavaScript/i, "jQuery"));
// 输出：999 jQuery Coders

// replace(regexp, replacetext)
var myString = '999 JavaScript Coders';
console.log(myString.replace(new RegExp("999", "gi"), "The"));
// 输出：The JavaScript Coders

9. search(regexp) Test the match in the string. If a match is found, the index of the match is returned; if not found, -1 is returned.

// search(regexp)
var intRegex = /[0-9 -()+]+$/;

var myNumber = '999';
var isInt = myNumber.search(intRegex);
console.log(isInt); // 输出：0

var myString = '999 JS Coders';
var isInt = myString.search(intRegex);
console.log(isInt); // 输出：-1

10. slice(start, [end]) Returns a substring of a string based on the "start" and "end" index parameters, but does not include the "end" index itself. "End" is optional, and if not specified, the slice includes all characters from "start" to the end of the string.

// slice(start, end)
var text = "excellent";
text.slice(0, 4); // 返回 "exce"
text.slice(2, 4); // 返回 "ce"

11. split(delimiter, [limit]) Split the string into multiple strings according to the specified delimiter and returns an array containing each element. The optional "limit" is an integer that allows you to specify the maximum number of elements to return.

// split(delimiter)
var message = "Welcome to jQuery4u";
// word[0] 包含 "We"
// word[1] 包含 "lcome to jQuery4u"
var word = message.split("l");

12. substr(start, [length]) Returns the character in the string starting from "start" and the specified number of characters "length"."Length" is optional and if omitted, it is assumed to be the end of the string.

// charAt(x)
var myString = 'jQuery FTW!!!';
console.log(myString.charAt(7));
// 输出：F

13. substring(from, [to]) Returns the character between the "from" and "to" indexes in the string, but does not include "to" itself. "To" is optional, and if omitted, it is assumed to be the end of the string.

// charCodeAt(position)
var message = "jquery4u";
// 警报显示 "q"
alert(message.charCodeAt(1));

14. toLowerCase() Returns a string whose characters are converted to lowercase.

// concat(v1, v2,..)
var message = "Sam";
var final = message.concat(" is a", " hopeless romantic.");
// 警报显示 "Sam is a hopeless romantic."
alert(final);

15. toUpperCase() Returns a string whose characters are converted to uppercase.

// fromCharCode(c1, c2,...)
console.log(String.fromCharCode(97, 98, 99, 120, 121, 122));
// 输出：abcxyz
console.log(String.fromCharCode(72, 69, 76, 76, 79));
// 输出：HELLO
