Functions

function	what it does	status
`byte`	Returns the numerical code of a character in a string. `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`char`	Generate a string representing the character codes passed as arguments. Numerical codes are not necessarily portable across platforms. `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`concat`	Returns a concatenated string (without use of a delimiter). `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`contains`	Returns true if a string contains the specified literal substring. `(str: stringView, substring: stringView): boolean`	implemented
`endswith`	Returns true if a string ends with the specified suffix. `(str: stringView, suffix: stringView): boolean`	implemented
`find`	Returns a pair of numbers representing the start and end of the first occurrence of the pattern within the string, if it exists. `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`format`	Formats a string by substituting arguments. = format = s:format `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`gfind`	Returns an iterator over the matches of a pattern in a string. It is the Lua 5.0 name of `string.gmatch`, which new code should use. · by wowlua `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`gmatch`	Returns an iterator that gives the next match of a pattern in a string, or its captures, on each call; used as `for word in string.gmatch(text, "%a+") do`. · by wowlua `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`gsub`	Substitutes text matching a pattern with a replacement. = gsub = s:gsub `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`join`	Joins strings together with a delimiter. = string.join(delimiter, string1 [, ...]) `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`len`	Return the length, in bytes, of the string passed. `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`lower`	Gets a string with all lower case letters instead of upper case. = strlower `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`ltrim`	Returns a string with all bytes in the specified character set removed from the start. `(str: stringView, characters: stringView): stringView`	implemented
`match`	Extract substrings by matching against a pattern. match [, match2, ...] = string.match(string, pattern[, initpos]) match1[, match2, ...] = strmatch(string, pattern[, initpos]) `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`rep`	Generate a string which is n copies of the string passed concatenated together. `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`reverse`	Reverses all of the characters in a string. `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`rtrim`	Returns a string with all bytes in the specified character set removed from the end. `(str: stringView, characters: stringView): stringView`	implemented
`split`	Splits a string using a delimiter. `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`startswith`	Returns true if a string starts with the specified prefix. `(str: stringView, prefix: stringView): boolean`	implemented
`sub`	Return a substring of the string passed. The substring starts at i. If the third argument j is not given, the substring will end at the end of the string. If the third argument is given, the substring ends at and includes j. `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
`trim`	Trim characters (chars), off the left and right of str `(str: stringView, characters: stringView): stringView`	implemented
`upper`	Make all the lower case characters in a string upper case. `not in Blizzard's documentation`	implemented
