sdl_string.lua

Contains a few convenient string utility functions which are not supported in

Lua or not supported as intended.

]]

-- Performs a non-pattern based substring search of one string in another

-- string. It's of O(n^2) complexity. It returns nil if the result cannot be

-- found, otherwise it returns the starting index of the first found occurrence.

string.indexOf = function(str, substr)

local pos = 1

local i = 1

for i = 1, str:len(), 1 do

if str:sub(i, i) == substr:sub(pos, pos) then

-- have we matched the complete string?

if pos == substr:len() then

return i - pos + 1-- starting pos

end

-- matched character...keep going

pos = pos + 1

else

-- restart, no match

pos = 0

end

end

-- This is a public-access version of the explode function defined below.

function explode(str, delim)

return str:explode(delim)

end

-- Explodes a string into an array of elements, separated by a non-pattern

-- delimiter. This function is part of the string table, allowing for a

-- member-based invocation for strings.

string.explode = function(str, delim)

local exploded = { }

local needle = string.find(str, delim)

while needle ~= nil do

table.insert(exploded, string.sub(str, 0, needle - 1))

str = string.sub(str, needle + 1)

needle = string.find(str, delim)

end

table.insert(exploded, str)

return exploded

end

-- Similar to table.concat, except it supports more advanced token pasting. This

-- function is vastly used by the main meta-build script (premake4.lua) to

-- generate all the main lines of code for various tables that need to be in the

-- generated lua file.

-- - tbl: table of values to implode into a string

-- - prefix: string to paste before entire result

-- - pre: string to always paste before each entry in table

-- - post: string to always paste after each entry in table

-- - join: string to paste between entries (inclusive)

-- - suffix: string to paste after entire result

-- Returns the imploded string.

function implode(tbl, prefix, pre, post, join, suffix)

local result = ""

-- not the most efficient way to do this, but...

local itbl = { }

itbl[#itbl + 1] = v

end

for i = 1, #itbl, 1 do

if pre ~= nil then
