Module for working with strings. A string is a flatten list of Unicode characters.

All actions with Unicode were described in the Unicode Standards <http://www.unicode.org/reports/>_.

.. image:: https://secure.travis-ci.org/erlang-unicode/ux.png?branch=master :alt: Build Status :target: http://travis-ci.org/erlang-unicode/ux

This library realized only these documents:

  • UAX 15 <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/>_ Unicode Normalization Forms
  • UTS 10 <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr10/>_ Unicode Collation Algorithm

and some parts from:

  • UAX 44 <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr44/>_ Unicode Character Database

Structure of the library

ux_string uses ux_char and ux_unidata.

ux_uca uses ux_char and ux_unidata.

ux_char uses ux_unidata.

ux_unidata is for an internal data access.

ux_string.erl: String Functions for lists of Unicode characters.

This module provides the functions for operations with UNIDATA <http://www.ksu.ru/eng/departments/ktk/test/perl/lib/unicode/UCDFF301.html>_. UNIDATA contains data about Unicode characters.

Functions for working with Unicode Normal Forms (UNF)

  • to_nfc/1
  • to_nfd/1
  • to_nfkd/1
  • to_nfkc/1
  • is_nfc/1
  • is_nfd/1
  • is_nfkc/1
  • is_nfkd/1

Functions from stdlib for Unicode strings

  • to_lower/1
  • to_upper/1

Functions for processing strings as groups of graphemes

Grapheme is a letter with its modifiers.

  • length/1
  • reverse/1
  • first/2
  • last/2

Examples

Code:

.. code-block:: erlang

(ux@delta)11> ux_string:length("FF g̈").
4
(ux@delta)12> string:len("FF g̈").       
5
(ux@delta)13> ux_string:to_graphemes("FF g̈").
["F","F"," ",[103,776]]

"PHP-style" string functions

  • explode/2,3
  • html_special_chars/1 (htmlspecialchars in php)
  • strip_tags/1,2

Examples


Code:

.. code-block:: erlang

    ux_string:explode(["==", "++", "|"], "+++-+=|==|==|=+-+++").

Result:

.. code-block:: erlang

    [[],"+-+=",[],[],[],[],"=+-","+"]

Code:

.. code-block:: erlang

    ux_html:strip_tags("<b>bold text</b>").

Result:

.. code-block:: erlang

    "bold text"

Types function
--------------

Type is a General Category in Unicode.

Code:

.. code-block:: erlang

    Str = "Erlang created the field of telephone
    networks analysis. His early work in scrutinizing the use of local, exchange
    and trunk telephone line usage in a small community, to understand the
    theoretical requirements of an efficient network led to the creation of the
    Erlang formula, which became a foundational element of present day
    telecommunication network studies.",
    ux_string:explode_types(['Zs', 'Lu'], Str).

Result:

.. code-block:: erlang

    [[],"rlang","created","the","field","of","telephone",
     "networks","analysis.",[],"is","early","work","in",
     "scrutinizing","the","use","of","local,","exchange","and",
     "trunk","telephone","line","usage","in","a","small",
     [...]|...]

Code:

.. code-block:: erlang

    ux_string:types(Str).

Result:

.. code-block:: erlang

    ['Lu','Ll','Ll','Ll','Ll','Ll','Zs','Ll','Ll','Ll','Ll',
     'Ll','Ll','Ll','Zs','Ll','Ll','Ll','Zs','Ll','Ll','Ll','Ll',
     'Ll','Zs','Ll','Ll','Zs','Ll'...]

Where atom ``'Lu'`` is Letter, Uppercase; ll is Letter, Lowercase. Read
more about types from description of ``ux_char:type/1``.

Code:

.. code-block:: erlang

    ux_string:delete_types(['Ll'], Str).

Result:

.. code-block:: erlang

    "E       . H        ,          ,                E ,           ."

ux_char.erl: Char Functions
===========================

Code:

.. code-block:: erlang

    ux_char:type($ ).

Result:

.. code-block:: erlang

    'Zs'

            {alternate, shifted} 
        ]),
    InStrings = ["erlang", "esl", "nitrogen", "epm", "mochiweb", "rebar", "eunit"],
    OutStrings = ux_uca:sort(Options, InStrings),
    [io:format("~ts~n", [S]) || S <- OutStrings],

    SortKeys = [{Str, ux_uca:sort_key(Options, Str)} || Str <- OutStrings],

    (ux@delta)20> CF = fun(S) -> ux_uca_options:get_options([{strength,S}]) end.      
    #Fun<erl_eval.6.80247286>

    (ux@delta)32> ux_uca:search(CF(2), "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy
    dog.", "dog", maximal).
    {"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy"," dog.",[]}

    (ux@delta)21> ux_uca:search(CF(2), "fF", "F").                                    
    {[],"f","F"}

    (ux@delta)22> ux_uca:search(CF(3), "fF", "F").
    {"f","F",[]}

Searching and Match-Style
-------------------------

Code:

.. code-block:: erlang

    (ux@delta)20> CF = fun(S) -> ux_uca_options:get_options([{strength,S}]) end.      
    #Fun<erl_eval.6.80247286>

    (ux@delta)27> ux_uca:search(CF(3), "! F   ?S?", "! F !", 'minimal').
    {"! ","F","   ?S?"}

    (ux@delta)28> ux_uca:search(CF(3), "! F   ?S?", "! F !", 'maximal').
    {[],"! F   ?","S?"}

    (ux@delta)29> ux_uca:search(CF(3), "! F   ?S?", "! F !", 'medium'). 
    {[],"! F ","  ?S?"}

ux_unidata.erl
==============

Stores UNIDATA information. For internal using only.

Data loading
============

.. code-block:: erlang

    ux_unidata_filelist:set_source(Level, ParserType, ImportedDataTypes,
    FromFile).

For example:

.. code-block:: erlang

    ux_unidata_filelist:set_source(process, blocks, all, code:priv_dir(ux) ++ "/UNIDATA/Blocks.txt").

loads data about Unicode blocks from ``priv/UNIDATA/Blocks.txt``.

So, different processes can use their own unidata dictionaries.

Level is ``process``, ``application`` or ``node``.

Parsers are located into ``ux_unidata_parser_*`` modules.

Default unidata files are loaded when the application tries get the
access to them.
