A header-only library that has common string functions.

Features

Functions for:

  • Centering a string
  • Converting a string to lower/upper case
  • Converting from a string to a type (using streams)
  • Converting a type to a string (using streams)
  • Getting an extension from a string (e.g. txt)

Example Usage

Usage is simple and straight-foward, you may want to look into the actual header file.

// converting to upper case
std::string tryingToYell = "you'RE grounDED";
auto actuallyYelling = util::to_upper(tryingToYell);

// converting to lower case
std::string notSoQuietMessage "PSST... I aM trYin' to WISper 'ere";
auto quietMessage = util::to_lower(notSoQuietMessage); 

// converting an int to a string
int x = 3;
auto str = util::to_string<std::string>(x);

// converting a string to an int
std::string twentyTwo = "22";
auto actuallyTwentyTwo = util::from_string<int>(twentyTwo);

// centering a string
std::string text = "THE END";
auto centeredText = util::center_string(text, 80, '=');

// getting the extension of a string
std::string whatIsTheExtension = "this.is.very.complicated.png.txt.jpg";
auto ext = util::get_extension(whatIsTheExtension); // == "jpg"
