nx.str

nx.str.trim(text, mask, dir)

No documentation comment in the prelude.

_{Defined in stdlib.lua.}

nx.str.startswith(s, prefix)

nx.str.startswith(s, prefix) [alias vim.startswith]: does s begin with prefix?

_{Defined in stdlib.lua.}

nx.str.endswith(s, suffix)

nx.str.endswith(s, suffix) [alias vim.endswith]: does s end with suffix?

_{Defined in stdlib.lua.}

nx.str.split(s, sep, opts)

nx.str.split(s, sep, opts) [alias vim.split]: split s on sep.

_{Defined in stdlib.lua.}

nx.str.to_list(s, _utf8)

nx.str.to_list(s[, utf8]) [alias vim.fn.str2list]: the codepoint of each character in s, as a list of numbers (str2list("AB") == { 65, 66 }). nxvim is always UTF-8, so the utf8 flag is accepted and ignored (the result is the same either way). A plugin’s key parser round-trips a keymap’s lhs through this and nr2char.

_{Defined in stdlib.lua.}

nx.str.from_char(nr, _utf8)

nx.str.from_char(nr[, utf8]) [alias vim.fn.nr2char]: the string for codepoint nr (nr2char(65) == "A"). The inverse of one nx.str.to_list element; nxvim is always UTF-8 so utf8 is accepted and ignored.

_{Defined in stdlib.lua.}

nx.str.chars(s, _skipcc)

nx.str.chars(s[, skipcc]) [alias vim.fn.strchars]: number of characters (codepoints) in s. INCOMPLETE: skipcc (skip composing characters) is ignored — every codepoint counts, since nxvim doesn’t classify combining marks.

_{Defined in stdlib.lua.}

nx.str.displaywidth(s, col)

nx.str.displaywidth(s[, col]) [alias vim.fn.strdisplaywidth]: the display cells s occupies, expanding tabs to the next tabstop boundary and counting wide chars as two. col is the starting screen column used for tab-stop math (default 0); the return value is the width of s itself (cells consumed beyond col). INCOMPLETE: tabs expand on a fixed tabstop of 8, not the current buffer’s ‘tabstop’.

nx.str.utfindex(s, a, b)

No documentation comment in the prelude.

nx.str.byteindex(s, a, b)

No documentation comment in the prelude.

_{Defined in stdlib.lua.}

nx.str.charpart(s, start, len)

nx.str.charpart(s, start[, len]) [alias vim.fn.strcharpart]: the substring of s starting at character index start (0-based), spanning len characters (default: to the end). A negative start drops that many leading characters off the count (vim’s behavior) and clamps the start to 0.

_{Defined in stdlib.lua.}

nx.str.trans(s)

nx.str.trans(s) [alias vim.fn.strtrans]: s with unprintable characters shown as printable text — control chars 0x00–0x1F as ^@…^_, 0x7F as ^? — matching vim, so a key label built from raw bytes displays readably. Multibyte UTF-8 is left intact.

_{Defined in stdlib.lua.}

nx.str.substitute(str, pat, sub, flags)

nx.str.substitute(str, pat, sub, flags) [alias vim.fn.substitute]: a real vim-regex substitution, backed by the Rust engine (nx._substitute) so plugins that rely on vim’s magic dialect + replacement syntax (\(\), \{-}, &, \1, \U…\E, …) get the same result neovim gives. This is a DIFFERENT dialect from nxvim’s / search (canonical regex); the divergence is intentional and lives in the compat layer. An invalid / unsupported pattern raises (fail loud).
