NAME

String::Utils - Provide some optimized string functions

SYNOPSIS

use String::Utils;

say before("foobar","bar");            # foo

say between("foobarbaz","foo","baz");  # bar

say after("foobar","foo");             # bar

DESCRIPTION

String::Utils provides some simple string functions that are not (yet) provided by the core Raku Programming Language.

SUBROUTINES

after

say after("foobar","foo");   # bar

say "foobar".&after("foo");  # bar

say after("foobar","goo");   # Nil

Return the string after a given string, or Nil if the given string could not be found. The equivalent of the stringification of / <?after foo> .* /.

before

say before("foobar","bar");   # foo

say "foobar".&before("bar");  # foo

say before("foobar","baz");   # Nil

Return the string before a given string, or Nil if the given string could not be found. The equivalent of the stringification of / .*? <?before bar> /.

between

say between("foobarbaz","foo","baz");   # bar

say "foobarbaz".&between("foo","baz");  # bar

say between("foobarbaz","goo","baz");   # Nil

Return the string between two given strings, or Nil if either of the bounding strings could not be found. The equivalent of the stringification of / <?after foo> .*? <?before baz> /.
