List of Functions

Length

Returns the length of a text string (number of characters) or binary buffer (buffer size in bytes)

Syntax: lengthString(value)

Lower

Converts all alphabetical characters in a text string to lowercase

Syntax: lower(text)

Capitalize

Converts first character in a text string to uppercase

Syntax: capitalize(text)

Startcase

Capitalizes the first letter of every word and lower cases all other letters

Syntax: startcase(text)

ASCII

Removes all non-ascii characters from a text string

Syntax: ascii(text, [remove diacritics])

Replace

Replaces part of a text string with a different text string

Syntax: replace(text, search, new_text)

Trim

Removes space characters at the start or end of the text

Syntax: trim(text)

Upper

Converts all alphabetical characters in a text string to uppercase

Syntax: upper(text)

Substring

Returns a portion of a text string between the 'start' position and 'the end' position

Syntax: substring(text, start, end)

indexOf

Returns the position of the first occurrence of a specified value in a string. This method returns '-1' if the value searched for never occurs

Syntax: indexOf(string, value, start)

Encode

Encode to Base64 format. You can also specify the character set as argument. Default (utf-8). example: Encode(<data to convert>,<utf-8>)

Syntax: Encode(value,charcterset)

Decode

Decode from Base64 format. You can also specify the character set as argument. Default (utf-8). example: Decode(<encoded data to convert>,<utf-8>). For Safe url decode use (safe) as character-set.

Syntax: Decode(value,charcterset)

toString

Converts any value to a string

Syntax: toString(value)

toDic

Converts string to a list or dictionary

Syntax: toDic(value)

toSchema

Generate a JSON Schema from JSON

Syntax: toSchema(value)

encodeURL

Encodes special characters in a text to a valid URL address

Syntax: encodeURL(text)

decodeURL

Decodes special characters in URL to text

Syntax: decodeURL(text)

escapeHTML

Escapes all HTML tags in text

Syntax: escapeHTML(text)

stripHTML

Removes all HTML tags from text

Syntax: stripHTML(text)

Contains

Verifies if text contains the search string

Syntax: contains(text, search)

Split

Splits a string into an array of substrings split at each point where the separator occurs in the given string. If the keepEmptyString is true, empty substrings are preserved in the array

Syntax: split(text, separator, keepEmptyString)

md5

Calculates the md5 hash of a string

Syntax: md5(text)

sha1

Calculates the sha1 hash of a string. If the key argument is specified, sha1 HMAC hash is returned instead. Supported output encodings: hex (default), base64 or latin1. Supported key encodings: text (default), hex, base64 or binary. When using binary key encoding, a key must be a buffer, not a string

Syntax: sha1(text, [output encoding], [key], [key encoding])

sha256

Calculates the sha256 hash of a string. If the key argument is specified, sha256 HMAC hash is returned instead. Supported encodings: hex (default), base64 or latin1. Supported key encodings: text (default), hex, base64 or binary. When using binary key encoding, a key must be a buffer, not a string

Syntax: sha256(text, [output encoding], [key], [key encoding])
