Primitive Type str
1.0.0 ·Expand description
String slices.
The str
type, also called a ‘string slice’, is the most primitive string
type. It is usually seen in its borrowed form, &str
. It is also the type
of string literals, &'static str
.
String slices are always valid UTF-8.
Basic Usage
String literals are string slices:
let hello_world = "Hello, World!";
RunHere we have declared a string slice initialized with a string literal.
String literals have a static lifetime, which means the string hello_world
is guaranteed to be valid for the duration of the entire program.
We can explicitly specify hello_world
’s lifetime as well:
let hello_world: &'static str = "Hello, world!";
RunRepresentation
A &str
is made up of two components: a pointer to some bytes, and a
length. You can look at these with the as_ptr
and len
methods:
use std::slice;
use std::str;
let story = "Once upon a time...";
let ptr = story.as_ptr();
let len = story.len();
// story has nineteen bytes
assert_eq!(19, len);
// We can re-build a str out of ptr and len. This is all unsafe because
// we are responsible for making sure the two components are valid:
let s = unsafe {
// First, we build a &[u8]...
let slice = slice::from_raw_parts(ptr, len);
// ... and then convert that slice into a string slice
str::from_utf8(slice)
};
assert_eq!(s, Ok(story));
RunNote: This example shows the internals of &str
. unsafe
should not be
used to get a string slice under normal circumstances. Use as_str
instead.
Implementations§
source§impl str
impl str
const: 1.39.0 · sourcepub const fn len(&self) -> usize
pub const fn len(&self) -> usize
Returns the length of self
.
This length is in bytes, not char
s or graphemes. In other words,
it might not be what a human considers the length of the string.
Examples
Basic usage:
let len = "foo".len();
assert_eq!(3, len);
assert_eq!("ƒoo".len(), 4); // fancy f!
assert_eq!("ƒoo".chars().count(), 3);
Run1.9.0 (const: unstable) · sourcepub fn is_char_boundary(&self, index: usize) -> bool
pub fn is_char_boundary(&self, index: usize) -> bool
Checks that index
-th byte is the first byte in a UTF-8 code point
sequence or the end of the string.
The start and end of the string (when index == self.len()
) are
considered to be boundaries.
Returns false
if index
is greater than self.len()
.
Examples
let s = "Löwe 老虎 Léopard";
assert!(s.is_char_boundary(0));
// start of `老`
assert!(s.is_char_boundary(6));
assert!(s.is_char_boundary(s.len()));
// second byte of `ö`
assert!(!s.is_char_boundary(2));
// third byte of `老`
assert!(!s.is_char_boundary(8));
Runsourcepub fn floor_char_boundary(&self, index: usize) -> usize

pub fn floor_char_boundary(&self, index: usize) -> usize
round_char_boundary
#93743)Finds the closest x
not exceeding index
where is_char_boundary(x)
is true
.
This method can help you truncate a string so that it’s still valid UTF-8, but doesn’t exceed a given number of bytes. Note that this is done purely at the character level and can still visually split graphemes, even though the underlying characters aren’t split. For example, the emoji 🧑🔬 (scientist) could be split so that the string only includes 🧑 (person) instead.
Examples
#![feature(round_char_boundary)]
let s = "❤️🧡💛💚💙💜";
assert_eq!(s.len(), 26);
assert!(!s.is_char_boundary(13));
let closest = s.floor_char_boundary(13);
assert_eq!(closest, 10);
assert_eq!(&s[..closest], "❤️🧡");

This method is the natural complement to floor_char_boundary
. See that method
for more details.
Panics
Panics if index > self.len()

Run1.20.0 · sourcepub unsafe fn as_bytes_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [u8]
pub unsafe fn as_bytes_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [u8]
Converts a mutable string slice to a mutable byte slice.
Safety
The caller must ensure that the content of the slice is valid UTF-8
before the borrow ends and the underlying str
is used.
Use of a str
whose contents are not valid UTF-8 is undefined behavior.
Examples
Basic usage:
let mut s = String::from("Hello");
let bytes = unsafe { s.as_bytes_mut() };
assert_eq!(b"Hello", bytes);
RunMutability:
let mut s = String::from("🗻∈🌏");
unsafe {
let bytes = s.as_bytes_mut();
bytes[0] = 0xF0;
bytes[1] = 0x9F;
bytes[2] = 0x8D;
bytes[3] = 0x94;
}
assert_eq!("🍔∈🌏", s);
Runconst: 1.32.0 · sourcepub const fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const u8
pub const fn as_ptr(&self) -> *const u8
Converts a string slice to a raw pointer.
As string slices are a slice of bytes, the raw pointer points to a
u8
. This pointer will be pointing to the first byte of the string
slice.
The caller must ensure that the returned pointer is never written to.
If you need to mutate the contents of the string slice, use as_mut_ptr
.
Examples
Basic usage:
let s = "Hello";
let ptr = s.as_ptr();
Run1.36.0 · sourcepub fn as_mut_ptr(&mut self) -> *mut u8
pub fn as_mut_ptr(&mut self) -> *mut u8
Converts a mutable string slice to a raw pointer.
As string slices are a slice of bytes, the raw pointer points to a
u8
. This pointer will be pointing to the first byte of the string
slice.
It is your responsibility to make sure that the string slice only gets modified in a way that it remains valid UTF-8.

Runsourcepub fn chars(&self) -> Chars<'_> ⓘ
pub fn chars(&self) -> Chars<'_> ⓘ
Returns an iterator over the char
s of a string slice.
As a string slice consists of valid UTF-8, we can iterate through a
string slice by char
. This method returns such an iterator.
It’s important to remember that char
represents a Unicode Scalar
Value, and might not match your idea of what a ‘character’ is. Iteration
over grapheme clusters may be what you actually want. This functionality
is not provided by Rust’s standard library, check crates.io instead.
Examples
Basic usage:

An iterator over substrings of this string slice, separated by characters matched by a pattern.
The pattern can be a &str

Iterator behavior
The returned iterator will be a DoubleEndedIterator
if the pattern
allows a reverse search and forward/reverse search yields the same
elements. This is true for, e.g., char
, but not for &str
.
If the pattern allows a reverse search but its results might differ
from a forward search, the rsplit
method can be used.

assert_eq!(v, ["2020", "11", "03", "23", "59"]);
RunA more complex pattern, using a closure:
let v: Vec<&str> = "abc1defXghi".split(|c| c == '1' || c == 'X').collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["abc", "def", "ghi"]);
RunIf a string contains multiple contiguous separators, you will end up with empty strings in the output:
let x = "||||a||b|c".to_string();
let d: Vec<_> = x.split('|').collect();
assert_eq!(d, &["", "", "", "", "a", "", "b", "c"]);
RunContiguous separators are separated by the empty string.
let x = "(///)".to_string();
let d: Vec<_> = x.split('/').collect();
assert_eq!(d, &["(", "", "", ")"]);
RunSeparators at the start or end of a string are neighbored by empty strings.
let d: Vec<_> = "010".split("0").collect();
assert_eq!(d, &["", "1", ""]);
RunWhen the empty string is used as a separator, it separates every character in the string, along with the beginning and end of the string.
let f: Vec<_> = "rust".split("").collect();
assert_eq!(f, &["", "r", "u", "s", "t", ""]);
RunContiguous separators can lead to possibly surprising behavior when whitespace is used as the separator. This code is correct:
let x = " a b c".to_string();
let d: Vec<_> = x.split(' ').collect();
assert_eq!(d, &["", "", "", "", "a", "", "b", "c"]);
RunIt does not give you:

pub fn split_inclusive<'a, P: Pattern<'a>>(
&'a self,
pat: P
) -> SplitInclusive<'a, P> ⓘ
An iterator over substrings of this string slice, separated by
characters matched by a pattern. Differs from the iterator produced by
split
in that split_inclusive
leaves the matched part as the
terminator of the substring.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Examples
let v: Vec<&str> = "Mary had a little lamb\nlittle lamb\nlittle lamb."
.split_inclusive('\n').collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["Mary had a little lamb\n", "little lamb\n", "little lamb."]);
RunIf the last element of the string is matched, that element will be considered the terminator of the preceding substring. That substring will be the last item returned by the iterator.
let v: Vec<&str> = "Mary had a little lamb\nlittle lamb\nlittle lamb.\n"
.split_inclusive('\n').collect();
assert_eq!(v, ["Mary had a little lamb\n", "little lamb\n", "little lamb.\n"]);

An iterator over substrings of the given string slice, separated by characters matched by a pattern and yielded in reverse order.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Iterator behavior
The returned iterator requires that the pattern supports a reverse
search, and it will be a DoubleEndedIterator
if a forward/reverse
search yields the same elements.
For iterating from the front, the split
method can be used.
Examples
Simple patterns:

An iterator over substrings of the given string slice, separated by characters matched by a pattern.
The pattern can be a &str
, char
, a slice of char
s, or a
function or closure that determines if a character matches.
Equivalent to split
, except that the trailing substring
is skipped if empty.
This method can be used for string data that is terminated, rather than separated by a pattern.
Iterator behavior
The returned iterator will be a DoubleEndedIterator

If the pattern allows a reverse search but its results might differ

pub fn parse<F: FromStr>(&self) -> Result<F, F::Err>
Parses this string slice into another type.
Because parse
is so general, it can cause problems with type
inference. As such, parse
is one of the few times you’ll see
the syntax affectionately known as the ‘turbofish’: ::<>
. This
helps the inference algorithm understand specifically which type
you’re trying to parse into.
parse
can parse into any type that implements the FromStr
trait.
Errors
Will return Err
if it’s not possible to parse this string slice into
the desired type.
Examples
Basic usage
let four: u32 = "4".parse().unwrap();
assert_eq!(4, four);
RunUsing the ‘turbofish’ instead of annotating four
:
let four = "4".parse::<u32>();
assert_eq!(Ok(4), four);
RunFailing to parse:
let nope = "j".parse::<u32>();
assert!(nope.is_err());
Run1.23.0 · sourcepub fn eq_ignore_ascii_case(&self, other: &str) -> bool
pub fn eq_ignore_ascii_case(&self, other: &str) -> bool
Checks that two strings are an ASCII case-insensitive match.
Same as to_ascii_lowercase(a) == to_ascii_lowercase(b)
,
but without allocating and copying temporaries.
Examples
assert!("Ferris".eq_ignore_ascii_case("FERRIS"));
assert!("Ferrös".eq_ignore_ascii_case("FERRöS"));
assert!(!"Ferrös".eq_ignore_ascii_case("FERRÖS"));
Run1.23.0 · sourcepub fn make_ascii_uppercase(&mut self)
pub fn make_ascii_uppercase(&mut self)
Converts this string to its ASCII upper case equivalent in-place.
ASCII letters ‘a’ to ‘z’ are mapped to ‘A’ to ‘Z’, but non-ASCII letters are unchanged.
To return a new uppercased value without modifying the existing one, use
to_ascii_uppercase()
.
Examples
let mut s = String::from("Grüße, Jürgen ❤");
s.make_ascii_uppercase();
assert_eq!("GRüßE, JüRGEN ❤", s);
Run1.23.0 · sourcepub fn make_ascii_lowercase(&mut self)

Run1.34.0 · sourcepub fn escape_debug(&self) -> EscapeDebug<'_> ⓘ
pub fn escape_debug(&self) -> EscapeDebug<'_> ⓘ
Return an iterator that escapes each char in self
with char::escape_debug
.
Note: only extended grapheme codepoints that begin the string will be escaped.
Examples
As an iterator:
for c in "❤\n!".escape_debug() {
print!("{c}");
}
println!();
RunUsing println!
directly:
println!("{}", "❤\n!".escape_debug());
RunBoth are equivalent to:
println!("❤\\n!");
RunUsing to_string

print!("{c}");
}
println!();
RunUsing println!
directly:
println!("{}", "❤\n!".escape_default());
RunBoth are equivalent to:
println!("\\u{{2764}}\\n!");
RunUsing to_string

.
Examples
As an iterator:
for c in "❤\n!".escape_unicode() {
print!("{c}");
}
println!();
RunUsing println!
directly:
println!("{}", "❤\n!".escape_unicode());
RunBoth are equivalent to:
println!("\\u{{2764}}\\u{{a}}\\u{{21}}");

impl Ord for str
Implements ordering of strings.
Strings are ordered lexicographically by their byte values. This orders Unicode code
points based on their positions in the code charts. This is not necessarily the same as
“alphabetical” order, which varies by language and locale. Sorting strings according to
culturally-accepted standards requires locale-specific data that is outside the scope of
the str
type.
