Apply common string operations
The jit.str.op object performs common string operations on string matrices.
A word on Jitter strings: In Jitter, any 1 plane char matrix may be manipulated as a string. String matrices may have one or two dimensions. If 1-dimensional, the string is considered terminated at the first 0 (like in C). If 2-dimensional, the string may be considered a multi-line string, with the first 0 encountered on each row treated as a carriage return. The jit.textfile and jit.str.op objects will accept and output 2D matrices. jit.str.fromsymbol only outputs 1D matrices and jit.str.tosymbol only accepts 1D matrices (or the first row of a 2D matrix).
Most operations input and output a single string matrix. The strcat operation (which concatenates strings) and the strcmp operation (which compares strings) take two input matrices.
| Name | IOProc | Planelink | Typelink | Dimlink | Plane | Dim | Type |
| in2 | adapt | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | char |
| out | n/a | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | char |
| Name | Type | g/s | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| end | int | The end of the slice when in mode (default = 0) | |
| multiline_in | int | Enables the jit.str.op object to work with 2D matrices, with each row interpreted as a CR-terminated string. If disabled, only the first row of an incoming 2D matrix is used. (default = 1) | |
| multiline_out | int | Causes the jit.str.op object to convert any CR to the start of a new row in a 2D output matrix and output an 'expanded' 2D matrix. If disabled, a 'collapsed', single-row matrix is output. (default = 0) | |
| op | symbol | String operation mode (default = strcat) Available modes are: strcat = Concatenate two strings strrev = Reverse a string slice = Output an arbitrary substring as a zero-terminated string strcmp = Compare two strings lexicographically, returning the difference between the two characters at the point that the strings become dissimilar, as well as the index of that point strlen = Report the length of a string toupper = Convert to uppercase tolower = Convert to lowercase thru = Properly truncate (if necessary) and terminate string matrix |
|
| start | int | The start of the slice when in mode (default = 0) |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| jit.op | Apply binary or unary operators |
| jit.str.fromsymbol | Convert Max symbol to Jitter string matrix |
| jit.str.tosymbol | Convert Jitter string matrix to Max symbol |
| jit.str.regexp | Use PERL-compatible regular expressions on Jitter matrices |
| jit.textfile | Read and write a matrix as an ASCII text file |
