Creates a string from clipboard, will return nil if clipboard is empty

Create a string by either converting to the best underlying format or by copying the data. cstring must be 0-terminated with 0 being mibenum-byte-width wide

Create a string by either converting to the best underlying format or by copying the data. Length is in *bytes*.

This method is deprecated!

Creates a new string (with UTF16 backing) by converting the format specifiers in the 'format' string using values provided after the string Supported format specifiers include: %@ - Objective-C object, appends the result of the 'description' method %% - '%' character %d,%D - signed 32bit int %u,%U - unsigned 32bit int %x - unsigned 32bit int, printed in hexadecimal, with lowercase a-f %X - unsigned 32bit int, printed in hexadecimal, with lowercase A-F %o,%O - unsigned 32bit int, printed in octal %f - 64bit floating point (double) %e,%E - 64bit floating point value, printed in scientific notation %g,%G - 64bit floating point value, printed in style of %e/E if exponent is less then -4 or greater than or equal to the precision, in %f otherwise %c - 8bit unsigned character %C - 32bit unicode character %s - null-terminated 8bit unsigned characters %S - null-terminated 16bit unicode characters [deprecated] %L - null-terminated 32bit unicode characters %p - void pointer, printed in hexadecimal digits with lowecase a-f and a leading 0x %a,%A - 64bit floating point, printed in scientific notation with leading 0x and one hexadecimal digit before the decimal point using p/P to introduce exponent %F - 64bit floating point, printed in decimal notation Length modifiers: h - used with d, o, u, x, X, conversion applies to an (U)WORD hh - used with d, o, u, x, X, conversion applies to an (U)BYTE l - used with d, o, u, x, X, conversion applies to an (U)LONG ll,q - used with d, o, u, x, X, conversion applies to an (U)QUAD

Create a string from UTF32 characters of given length (in characters)

Creates a string with UTF-8 as internal backing. cString returned by it is using its internal storage and remains valid as long as the OBString is valid

Converts the string to an absolute path, using CurrentDir() as reference: If a Lock() on the whole path fails, will try to resolve the path part in the string and Lock() that, then append FilePart() to resolved string (to handle both write locked and non-existing files). If string is empty, returns the result of Lock("", SHARED_LOCK). Returns self as-is if all of the attempts to resolve the path have failed

Returns a boolean value of the string

Returns an UTF-8 encoded c string

Creates a new string with every first letter of a word being uppercase

Performs a case insensitive compare of two strings

Returns a unichode character at a given index counted from 0 This method is DEPRECATED

Compares the string with the given string

Compares the string with the given string, limiting the operation to a given range and using the provided options

Creates an array of strings using the separator string

Creates an OBData representation of the string, using a given encoding

Returns a float (double-precistion) value of the string or 0.0 if it could not be converted corretly

Returns the file part of a path, like dos/FilePart()

Returns a float value of the string or 0.0 if it could not be converted corretly

Get whole buffer at once, same as [string getCharacters:buf range:OBMakeRange(0, [string length])]; This method is DEPRECATED

Fills the buffer with unichar characters of this string Buffer MUST be at least range.length * sizeof(unichar) sized This method is DEPRECATED

Fills the buffer with unichar characters of this string Buffer MUST be at least range.length * sizeof(OBUnichar) sized

Fills the buffer with unichar characters of this string Buffer MUST be at least range.length * sizeof(unichar) sized

Returns a hash of the string

Returns an integer value of the string

Returns YES if two strings are equal

Length of the string in unicode characters

Creates a new string with every character lowercased

Converts the string into a OBNativeString and returns its nativeCString If you need to reuse this string, consider caching an OBNativeString object to avoid converting on the go

Converts the string into a OBNativeString

Returns the path part of a path, like dos/PathPart()

Returns an 64bit integer value of the string

Appends a path component

Returns a new string created by combining a string with a formatted string

Returns a new string created by combining two strings

Returns a new string starting from the given index

Returns a new string with index-1 characters of the initial string

Returns a substring of this string

Returns a UTF-32 character at a given index counted from 0

Returns an unsigned integer value of the string

Creates a new string with every character uppercased
