Strings — bubblecode Docs

Strings in bubblecode are enclosed in double quotes. bubblecode provides two concatenation operators and a rich set of built-in string functions.

Concatenation

Operator	Effect	Example
`&`	Join directly	`"Hello" & "World"` → `HelloWorld`
`&&`	Join with a space	`"Hello" && "World"` → `Hello World`

example.bubble

put "Hello" into greeting
put "World" into target
 
say greeting & target
say greeting && target
say greeting & ", " & target & "!"

String functions

Function	Description
`length(s)`	Number of characters
`uppercase(s)`	Convert to UPPERCASE
`lowercase(s)`	Convert to lowercase
`reverse(s)`	Reverse the string
`trim(s)`	Strip leading/trailing spaces
`replace(s, old, new)`	Replace occurrences

example.bubble

put "Hello, bubblecode World!" into text
 
say "Original:" && text
say "Length:" && length(text)
say "Uppercase:" && uppercase(text)
say "Lowercase:" && lowercase(text)
say "Reverse:" && reverse("bubblecode")
say "Trim:" && trim("  hello  ")
say "Replace:" && replace("Hello World", "World", "bubblecode")

Contains check

The contains keyword tests whether one string appears inside another. It returns true or false.

example.bubble

put "Hello, bubblecode World!" into text
 
say text contains "bubblecode"
say text contains "Python"
 
if text contains "bubblecode" then
say "Found bubblecode!"
end if

The quote constant

The built-in quote constant holds a double-quote character, useful for building strings that contain quotes.

example.bubble

say "She said" && quote & "hello" & quote
