python的字符串操作通过2部分的方法函数基本上就可以解决所有的字符串操作需求:
- python的字符串属性函数
- python的string模块
1.字符串属性方法操作:
1.>字符串格式输出对齐
>>> str = "Python stRING" >>> print str.center(20) #生成20个字符长度,str排中间 Python stRING >>> print str.ljust(20) #生成20个字符长度,str左对齐 Python stRING >>> print str.rjust(20) #生成20个字符长度,str右对齐 Python stRING
2.>大小写转换
>>> str = "Python stRING" >>> str.upper() #转大写 'PYTHON STRING' >>> str.lower() #转小写 'python string' >>> str.capitalize() #字符串首为大写,其余小写 'Python string' >>> str.swapcase() #大小写对换 'pYTHON STring' >>> str.title() #以分隔符为标记,首字符为大写,其余为小写 'Python String'
3.>字符串条件判断
>>> str = '01234' >>> str.isalnum() #是否全是字母和数字,并至少有一个字符 True >>> str.isdigit() #是否全是数字,并至少有一个字符 True >>> str = 'string' >>> str.isalnum() #是否全是字母和数字,并至少有一个字符 True >>> str.isalpha() #是否全是字母,并至少有一个字符 True >>> str.islower() #是否全是小写,当全是小写和数字一起时候,也判断为True True >>> str = "01234abcd" >>> str.islower() #是否全是小写,当全是小写和数字一起时候,也判断为True True >>> str.isalnum() #是否全是字母和数字,并至少有一个字符 True >>> str = ' ' >>> str.isspace() #是否全是空白字符,并至少有一个字符 True >>> str = 'ABC' >>> str.isupper() #是否全是大写,当全是大写和数字一起时候,也判断为True True >>> str = 'Aaa Bbb' >>> str.istitle() #所有单词字首都是大写,标题 True >>> str = 'string learn' >>> str.startswith('str') #判断字符串以'str'开头 True >>> str.endswith('arn') #判读字符串以'arn'结尾 True
4.>字符串搜索定位与替换
>>> str='string lEARn' >>> str.find('z') #查找字符串,没有则返回-1,有则返回查到到第一个匹配的索引 -1 >>> str.find('n') #返回查到到第一个匹配的索引 4 >>> str.rfind('n') #返回的索引是最后一次匹配的 11 >>> str.index('a') #如果没有匹配则报错 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: substring not found >>> str.index("n") #同find类似,返回第一次匹配的索引值 4 >>> str.rindex("n") #返回最后一次匹配的索引值 11 >>> str.count('a') #字符串中匹配的次数 0 >>> str.count('n') #同上 2 >>> str.replace('EAR','ear') #匹配替换 'string learn' >>> str.replace('n','N') 'striNg lEARN' >>> str.replace('n','N',1) 'striNg lEARn' >>> str.strip('n') #删除字符串首尾匹配的字符,通常用于默认删除回车符 'string lEAR' >>> str.lstrip('n') #左匹配 'string lEARn' >>> str.rstrip('n') #右匹配 'string lEAR' >>> str = " tab" >>> str.expandtabs() #把制表符转为空格 ' tab' >>> str.expandtabs(2) #指定空格数 ' tab'
5.>字符串编码与解码
>>> str = "字符串学习" >>> str 'xe5xadx97xe7xacxa6xe4xb8xb2xe5xadxa6xe4xb9xa0' >>> str.decode('utf-8') #解码过程,将utf-8解码为unicode u'u5b57u7b26u4e32u5b66u4e60' >>> str.decode("utf-8").encode('gbk') #编码过程,将unicode编码为gbk 'xd7xd6xb7xfbxb4xaexd1xa7xcfxb0' >>> str.decode('utf-8').encode('utf-8') #将unicode编码为utf-8 'xe5xadx97xe7xacxa6xe4xb8xb2xe5xadxa6xe4xb9xa0'
6.>字符串分割变换
>> str = "Learn string" >>> '-'.join(str) 'L-e-a-r-n- -s-t-r-i-n-g' >>> li = ['Learn','string'] >>> '-'.join(li) 'Learn-string' >>> str.split('n') ['Lear', ' stri', 'g'] >>> str.split('n',1) ['Lear', ' string'] >>> str.rsplit('n') ['Lear', ' stri', 'g'] >>> str.rsplit('n',1) ['Learn stri', 'g'] >>> str.splitlines() ['Learn string'] >>> str.partition('n') ('Lear', 'n', ' string') >>> str.rpartition('n') ('Learn stri', 'n', 'g')
