Represents text as a series of Unicode characters.
System.String
class for strings. See the Microsoft MSDN
documentation for Strings
for more details.Note: In c# string
is an alias for System.String
. This means that you
can use either string
or String
in your code (if you have added using System
to the top of your script.)
Note: In Javascript strings are represented using String
which you should use
in your Unity script code.
Here are some basic uses of the String class.// Javascript #pragma strictfunction Start () { var s : String = "hello"; Debug.Log(s); // prints hello s = String.Format("{0} {1}", s, "world"); Debug.Log(s); // prints hello world s = String.Concat("hello","world"); Debug.Log(s); // prints helloworld s = s.ToUpper(); Debug.Log(s); // prints HELLOWORLD s = s.ToLower(); Debug.Log(s); // prints helloworld //Debug.Log(s.CharAt(1)); // CharAt not supported, produces compiler error // instead use array syntax below Debug.Log(s[1]); // prints e var c : char = 'x'[0]; // slight odd JS way of specifying a char // 'x' is a string and [0] means first character Debug.Log(s.IndexOf(c)); // prints -1 (s does not contain an x) var i : int = 42; s = i.ToString(); Debug.Log(s); // prints 42 s = "-43"; i = int.Parse(s); Debug.Log(i); // prints -43 var f : float = 3.14159265358979f; s = f.ToString(); Debug.Log(s); // prints 3.141593 (which is an approximation) s = "-7.14159265358979"; f = float.Parse(s); Debug.Log(f); // prints -7.141593 (which is an approximation) }
// Javascript #pragma strictimport System; import System.Reflection;function Start () { var t : Type = System.String; // Iterate over all the methods from the System.String class and display // return type and parameters. // This reveals all the things you can do with a String. for (var mi : MethodInfo in t.GetMethods()) { var s : System.String = System.String.Format("{0} {1} (", mi.ReturnType, mi.Name); var pars : ParameterInfo[] = mi.GetParameters(); for (var j : int = 0; j < pars.Length; j++) { s = String.Concat(s, String.Format("{0}{1}", pars[j].ParameterType, (j == pars.Length-1) ? "" : ", ")); } s = String.Concat(s, ")"); Debug.Log(s); } }
