preface

Python’s built-in data types — sequences and strings — do not have girlfriends, are not nannies, and are only useful to use. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the various common uses of strings. Everyone is welcome to comment on the triad.

String splicing

Use the + operator to concatenate the existing string code to the end of the string code, generating a new string code nongfeige good, code nongfeige niubi example:

str6 = 'Good for nongfei,'
# use the + operator
print('+ operator concatenation result =',(str6 + "Nongfeige Niubi"))
Copy the code

The results are as follows:

+ operator splicing result = code nongfei ge good, code Nongfei ge niubiCopy the code

String interception (string slice)

Slicing is another way to access a string. It can access a range of elements and, by slicing, generate a new string. The syntax format for a slice operation is:

sname[start : end : step]
Copy the code

The meanings of each parameter are as follows:

Sname: indicates the name of the string
Start: indicates the starting index position of the slice (including this position). This parameter can also be omitted. If this parameter is not specified, the default value is 0, that is, the slice starts from the beginning of the sequence.
End: indicates the end index position of the slice (excluding this position). If not specified, the default value is the length of the sequence.
Step: represents the step length, that is, in the process of slicing, the element is taken at several storage locations (including the current location) once. That is to say, if the value of step is greater than 1, for example, if step is 3, the next element will be taken at two locations during slicing.

Or an example to illustrate:

str1='Good good study, day day up'
Select * from index (7)
print(str1[7])
# select the value starting at index 0 and continuing until index 7 (not included)
print(str1[0:7])
# start at index 1 and continue until index 4 (not included). Step = 2, so one element is separated
print(str1[1:4:2])
Extract the last element
print(str1[-1])
# start at -9 and continue until the index is -2 (excluding)
print(str1[-9: -2])
Copy the code

The result of the run is:

Study well, study well every day, every dayCopy the code

Split string

Python provides the split() method to split strings. The split() method splits a string into substrings with specified separators. These substrings are stored in a list (without separators) and returned as the method’s return value. The basic syntax for this method is as follows:

str.split(sep,maxsplit)
Copy the code

The meanings of parameters in this method are as follows:

STR: indicates the string to be split
Sep: Specifies the separator. It can contain more than one character. This parameter defaults to None, indicating all empty characters, including Spaces, newline “\n”, TAB “\t”, and so on
Maxsplit: This parameter is optional. It is used to specify the number of splits. The maximum number of substrings in the final list is maxsplit+1.

In the split method, if sep is not specified, then maxsplit cannot be specified either. For example:

str = 'https://feige.blog.csdn.net/'
print('Do not specify split times'.str.split('. '))
print('Specify split count as 2'.str.split('. '.2))

Copy the code

The results are as follows:

Do not specify a partition number [' https://feige ', 'blog', 'CSDN', '.net/'] specified partition number is 2 times [' https://feige ', 'blog', 'csdn.net/]Copy the code

Merge string

Merging strings is just the opposite of split. Python provides the join() method to join multiple strings contained in a list (or tuple) into a single string. Its grammatical structure is:

newstr = str.join(iterable)
Copy the code

The meanings of the parameters for each part of this method are:

Newstr: indicates a new string generated after the merge
STR: Used to specify the delimiter at merge time
Iterable: Source string data for merging operations, which can be supplied as lists, tuples, etc.

Again, to illustrate:

list = ['Code Nongfei'.'Study hard'.'Very good']
print('Splice by.'.'. '.join(list))
print('Splice by -'.The '-'.join(list))
Copy the code

The results are as follows:

Splice code Nongfei with. Study hard. Very good pass. - Join the code Nongfego. - Study hard. - Very goodCopy the code

Count the number of occurrences of a string

The count() method retrieves the number of occurrences of a specified string in another string, returning 0 if the retrieved string does not exist, or the number of occurrences otherwise. Its grammatical structure is:

str.count(sub[,start[,end]])
Copy the code

The meanings of the parameters in each part of this method are:

STR: indicates the original string
Sub: Indicates the string to retrieve.
Start: specifies the start location of the search. If this parameter is not specified, the search starts from the beginning.
End: Specifies the end of the search. If not specified, the search continues to the end

Here’s an example:

str = 'https://feige.blog.csdn.net/'
print('Statistics. Number of occurrences'.str.count('. '))
print('from position 1 to position 5 from the bottom. Number of occurrences'.str.count('. '.1, -5))

Copy the code

The results are as follows:

Statistics. The number of occurrences of 3 from the first position to the last 6 position statistics. The number of occurrences 2Copy the code

Checks if a string contains a substring

Python provides the find method to find if the string contains the target string and returns the index of the first occurrence of the string if it does, or -1 if it does not. Its grammatical structure is:

str.find(sub[,start[,end]])
Copy the code

The meanings of the parameters of this method are:

STR: indicates the original string
Sub: Indicates the target string to be retrieved
Start: indicates the start position for the search. If this parameter is not specified, the search starts from the beginning
End: indicates the end of the search. If this parameter is not specified, the search continues to the end by default.

Python also provides the rfind() method, which differs from the find() method in that rfind() is retrieved from the right-hand side of the string. Again, to illustrate:

str = 'Code Nongfei'
print('Retrieves whether the string "Fly" is included..str.find('flying elder brother'))
print("Retrieve if it contains the string 'hello '".str.find('hello'))

Copy the code

The results are as follows:

Retrieves whether it contains the string "Fly brother" 2 Retrieves whether it contains the string 'hello' -1Copy the code

Python also provides an indext() method that checks if a string contains a substring. The method takes the same arguments as find, except that index() throws an exception when the specified string does not exist. I won’t repeat it here.

String alignment

Python STR provides three methods for text alignment: the ljust(), rjust(), and center() methods

Ljust () is used to left-align text by padding the specified character to the right of the specified string:

S.ljust(width[, fillchar])
Copy the code

The meanings of the parameters in this method are:

S: indicates the string to be filled
Width: indicates the total length of the string including the length of S itself
Fillchar: As an optional parameter, specify the characters to be used to fill the string. By default, Spaces are used.

The rjust() method fills the left side of the string with specified characters to right-align the text.
The center() method is used to center text, not left-aligned or right-aligned

Here’s an example:

str1 = 'https://feige.blog.csdn.net/'
str2 = 'https://www.baidu.com/'
print("Left alignment by -", str1.ljust(30.The '-'))
print("Left alignment by -", str2.ljust(30.The '-'))
print("Align right by -", str1.rjust(30.The '-'))
print("Align right by -", str2.rjust(30.The '-'))
print("Center alignment by -", str1.center(30.The '-'))
print("Center alignment by -", str2.center(30.The '-'))
Copy the code

The results are as follows:

Realize left-aligned through - https://feige.blog.csdn.net/ - by - through - right-aligned left-aligned https://www.baidu.com/-------- - https://feige.blog.csdn.net/ By - right-aligned -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- https://www.baidu.com/ center alignment - through https://feige.blog.csdn.net/- - by - realizing centered alignment ----https://www.baidu.com/----Copy the code

Retrieves whether the string begins with the specified string (startswith())

The startswith() method is used to retrieve whether the string begins with the specified string, and returns True if so; Return False otherwise. Its grammatical structure is:

str.startswith(sub[,start[,end]])
Copy the code

The meanings of the parameters of this method are:

STR: indicates the original string
Sub: the substring to retrieve ‘
Start: specifies the start index of the search. If this parameter is not specified, the search starts from scratch by default
End: Specifies the index of the end location of the search. If not specified, the search continues to the end by default.

For example:

str1 = 'https://feige.blog.csdn.net/'
print('Does it start with HTTPS?', str1.startswith('https'))
print('Does it start with Feige?', str1.startswith('feige'.0.20))
Copy the code

The results are as follows:

Whether the value starts with HTTPS True Whether the value starts with feige FalseCopy the code

Retrieves whether the string endswith the specified string (endswith())

The endswith() method is used to retrieve whether the string ends in the specified string, returning True if so and False if not. Its grammatical structure is:

str.endswith(sub[,start[,end]])
Copy the code

The meaning of each parameter of this method is the same as that of the Startswith method, which I won’t go into here.

String case conversion (3 kinds) function and usage

Python provides three methods for string capitalization conversion

The title() method is used to uppercase the first letter of each word in the string and lowercase all other letters. When the conversion is complete, this method returns the converted string. If there are no characters in the string that need to be converted, this method returns the string intact. Its grammatical structure isstr.title()
Lower () is used to convert all uppercase letters in a string to lowercase letters, and when the conversion is complete, the method returns the new substring. If the string is already lowercase, this method returns the original string. Its grammatical structure isstr.lower()
Upper () converts all lowercase letters in a string to uppercase letters, and returns a new string if the conversion succeeds; Otherwise, the original string is returned. Its grammatical structure is:str.upper().

Here are some examples:

STR = 'feiGe 'print(' uppercase ', str.title()) print(' lowercase ', str.lower()) print(' uppercase ', str.upper())Copy the code

The results are as follows:

All caps Feige Brave Fly all caps Feige brave flyCopy the code

Three ways to remove whitespace (remove special characters) from a string

Python provides three ways to remove Spaces from strings (to remove special characters). Special characters here are table characters (\t), carriage returns (\r), newlines (\n), and so on.

Strip () : Removes Spaces or special characters before and after the string
Lstrip () : Removes Spaces or special characters before (left) the string
Rstrip (): Removes Spaces or special characters following (right) the string

Python’s STR is immutable, so these three methods simply return a copy of the string after whitespace has been removed. They do not change the string itself, as an example:

str = 'n yard nongfei brother brave to fly'
print('Before and after whitespace (special string)'.str.strip())
print('Remove left whitespace (special string)'.str.lstrip())
print('Remove right space (special string)'.str.rstrip())

Copy the code

The results are as follows:

Remove the space before and after (special string) code Nongfei ge brave fly remove the left space (special string) code Nongfei ge brave fly remove the right space (special string) code Nongfei ge brave flyCopy the code

Encode () and decode() methods: string encoding conversions

The earliest string encoding is ASCll encoding, which only encodes 10 numbers, 26 upper and lower case English letters and some special characters. ASCII code can represent 256 characters at most, and each character takes only 1 byte. In order to be compatible with the characters of various countries, there have been THE EMERGENCE of GBK, GB2312,UTF-8 encoding, etc. Utf-8 is the international universal encoding format, it contains all the characters needed by all countries in the world, which requires that English characters occupy 1 byte, Chinese characters occupy 3 bytes.

The encode() method provides a method for the string type (STR) to convert the STR type into bytes, a process also known as “encoding.” Its grammatical structure is:str.encode([encoding="utf-8"][,errors="strict"])
Converts bytes binary data to STR. This process, also known as “decoding”, is syntactic:bytes.decode([encoding="utf-8"][,errors="strict"])

Here’s an example:

str = 'Come on, Nongfei.'
bytes = str.encode()
print('coding'.bytes)
print('the decoding'.bytes.decode())

Copy the code

The results are as follows:

Code b'\xe7\xa0\x81\xe5\x86\x9c\xe9\xa3\x9e\xe5\x93\xa5\xe5\x8a\xa0\xe6\ XB2 \ XB9Copy the code

The default encoding format is UTF-8. The encoding and decoding format must be the same; otherwise, the decoding will fail.

Serialization and deserialization

In practice, we often serialize a data object into a string and deserialize a string into a data object. Python’s built-in serialization module is the JSON module.

The json.dumps() method converts Python objects into strings
The json.loads() method decodes the encoded JSON string into a Python object

Here’s an example:

import json

dict = {'student id': 1001.'name': "Zhang".'score': [{'Chinese': 90.'mathematics': 100}}]str = json.dumps(dict,ensure_ascii=False)
print('Serialized to string'.str.type(str))
dict2 = json.loads(str)
print(Deserialize to object, dict2, type(dict2))

Copy the code

The results are as follows:

Serialized into string {" name ":" zhang ", "score" : [{" mathematics: "100," the language ": 90}]," student number ": 1001} < class 'STR' > deserialized into object {' name ':' Joe ', 'score' : [{' mathematics', 100, 'Chinese' : 90}], 'student number: 1001} < class >' dict 'Copy the code
