String Utilities

Byte Truncate String

Truncate a string to a specified number of bytes while preserving UTF-8 character boundaries.

Parameter	Description
String	The input string to truncate. Can be provided with or without quotes.
Max Bytes	The maximum number of bytes for the truncated string. Examples: • `10` - 10 bytes • `10000` - 10 kb • `10000000` - 10 mb

Convert To Lower Case

Converts a string to lower case.

Parameter	Description
String	The string which will be converted to lower case. For example: For the string - `Hello World`, the returned string will be: `hello world`

Convert To Upper Case

Converts a string to upper case.

Parameter	Description
String	The string which will be converted to upper case. For example: For the string - `Hello World`, the returned string will be: `HELLO WORLD`

Find String

Returns the index of the first occurrence of a substring within the given string. The action returns -1 if the value is not found.

Parameter	Description
String	The original string where the `Value` will be searched.
Substring	The substring to be find within the original `String`.

Generate Random String

Generates a random string of specified length with the given character sets.

Parameter	Description
String Length	The length of the generated string, default 10.
Include Special Chars	`[!-]` character set - `!@#$%&`.
Include Uppercase Chars	`[A-Z]` character set - `ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ`.
Include Digit Chars	`[0-9]` character set - `0123456789`.
Custom Characters	’Characters that will be appended to character pool. For example: `Bl1#K@p$`.‘

Get String Length

Get length of a string.

Parameter	Description
String	The string whose length will be returned. For example: For the string - `Hello World`, the returned value will be: 11

Join String

Concatenate any number of strings into a single string using an optional separator. Equivalent to Python’s join() method.

Parameter	Description
String List	The list of strings that needs to be concatenated. Also, it could be a single string like `"blink"`. In this case, each character will act as a ‘substring’. For example: The input string - `"blink"` (with quotes) will act the same as the following input: `["b", "l", "i", "n", "k"]`
Separator	The string that will be inserted in between each one of the ‘Strings’. For example: For the string list - `["I", "Love", "Blink"]` and the separator - `#`, the returned string will be: `I#Love#Blink`

Replace String

Replaces a given substring with another string.

Parameter	Description
String	The original string where replacements will be made.
Old Substring	The substring to be find within the original `String` parameter.
New Substring	The replacement substring.
Count	The maximum number of replacements to perform. If empty, replaces all occurrences.

Split String

Splits a given string according to the specified delimiter and returns a list of substrings.

Parameter	Description
String	The string that needs to be split.
Delimiter	The delimiter based on which the string will be split. For example: For the string - `Hello there, this is Blink's example!` and the delimiter - `,`, the returned list looks like the following: `["Hello there", " this is Blink's example!"]`

Trim Spaces

Removes all leading and trailing whitespaces from a given string.

Parameter	Description
String	The string that needs to be trimmed.

Trim String

Shorten a string from either or both sides, using optional Start and End indexes. This action is based on Python’s array slicing, where the start index is included and the end index is excluded. For example, using the string blinkops and the input indexes 0 and -3, the output will be: blink. The same as if the End index was 5. Additional options:

Use only Start to trim from the beginning: Start: 2 → inkops
Use only End to trim from the end: End: 5 → blink
Leave both empty to get the full string

Parameter	Description
String	The string that needs to be trimmed.
Start Index	The index of the first character you want to include in the slice. The string will be trimmed from this index (inclusive). Note: The first character’s index is `0`.
End Index	The index of the first character you want to exclude from the slice. The string will be trimmed to this index (exclusive). Note: The last character’s index is `-1` or the length of the string.

Truncate String

Shortens a given string to a limited number of characters.

Parameter	Description
String	The string that will be shortened.
Limit	The amount of characters the string will be limited to. For example: For the string - `Hello World` and the limit `8`, the returned value will be: `Hello Wo` Note: You can truncate the string from the end using a `Negative Limit`. For instance: the limit `-2` will remove the last 2 characters.
