tuple_substrtuple_substrTupleSubstrTupleSubstrtuple_substr (Operator)
Name
tuple_substrtuple_substrTupleSubstrTupleSubstrtuple_substr — Cut characters from position “n1” through “n2” out of a string tuple.
Signature
def tuple_substr(string: MaybeSequence[str], position_1: MaybeSequence[Union[float, int]], position_2: MaybeSequence[Union[float, int]]) -> Sequence[str]
def tuple_substr_s(string: MaybeSequence[str], position_1: MaybeSequence[Union[float, int]], position_2: MaybeSequence[Union[float, int]]) -> str
Description
tuple_substrtuple_substrTupleSubstrTupleSubstrTupleSubstrtuple_substr cuts all characters from position “n1” through “n2”
out of each string of the input tuple StringStringStringStringstringValstring and
returns them as new strings in the output tuple SubstringSubstringSubstringSubstringsubstringsubstring. The
positions “n1” and “n2” are determined by the second and third input
tuples Position1Position1Position1Position1position1position_1 and Position2Position2Position2Position2position2position_2. Their
length has to be equal. If Position1Position1Position1Position1position1position_1 and Position2Position2Position2Position2position2position_2 only
contain one element, this element defines for all strings of
StringStringStringStringstringValstring “n1” and “n2”, respectively . If
StringStringStringStringstringValstring, Position1Position1Position1Position1position1position_1 and Position2Position2Position2Position2position2position_2 have got the
same number of elements, the first elements of Position1Position1Position1Position1position1position_1 and
Position2Position2Position2Position2position2position_2 determine the start and end position for the
first string of StringStringStringStringstringValstring. The second elements of Position1Position1Position1Position1position1position_1
and Position2Position2Position2Position2position2position_2 do so for the second string of StringStringStringStringstringValstring
and so on. If Position1Position1Position1Position1position1position_1 and Position2Position2Position2Position2position2position_2
contain more than one element and StringStringStringStringstringValstring contains only one string,
tuple_substrtuple_substrTupleSubstrTupleSubstrTupleSubstrtuple_substr cuts more than one substring out of this string.
The elements of Position1Position1Position1Position1position1position_1 and Position2Position2Position2Position2position2position_2 then determine
the start and end positions for
these substrings. If all input tuples contain more than one element but
differ in the number of elements, tuple_substrtuple_substrTupleSubstrTupleSubstrTupleSubstrtuple_substr returns an error.
If StringStringStringStringstringValstring is an empty tuple, the operator returns an empty tuple.
If StringStringStringStringstringValstring is not empty and Position1Position1Position1Position1position1position_1 and/or
Position2Position2Position2Position2position2position_2 are empty tuples, an exception is raised.
Unicode code points versus bytes
The positions reference Unicode code points. One Unicode code point may be
composed of multiple bytes in the UTF-8 string. If the positions should
reference the raw bytes of the string, this operator can be switched to byte
mode with set_system('tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode', 'byte')set_system("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode", "byte")SetSystem("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode", "byte")SetSystem("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode", "byte")SetSystem("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode", "byte")set_system("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode", "byte"). If
'filename_encoding'"filename_encoding""filename_encoding""filename_encoding""filename_encoding""filename_encoding" is set to 'locale'"locale""locale""locale""locale""locale" (legacy), this
operator always uses the byte mode.
