String source

Transform string values with built-in string operations inside a Smart String.
Read time 1 minuteLast updated 10 days ago
Transform string values with built-in string operations inside a Smart String.
The String source handles a 
string
value and exposes common string operations as selectors, so you can transform text directly in the format string. For example, 
{name.ToUpper}
outputs the value of 
name
in uppercase.

Selector

Description

Length
The number of characters in the string.
ToUpper
, 
ToLower
Convert to upper or lower case using the active culture.
ToUpperInvariant
, 
ToLowerInvariant
Convert to upper or lower case using the invariant culture.
Trim
, 
TrimStart
, 
TrimEnd
Remove surrounding whitespace.
Capitalize
Convert the first character to upper case.
CapitalizeWords
Convert the first letter of each word to upper case.
ToCharArray
Convert the string to a character array.
ToBase64
, 
FromBase64
Encode to, or decode from, a UTF-8 Base64 string.
The following examples show how to use a few common string operations with the String source:
Smart.Format("{0.ToUpper}", "hello");                // "HELLO"            Smart.Format("{0.Capitalize}", "hello");             // "Hello"            Smart.Format("{0.CapitalizeWords}", "hello world");  // "Hello World"            Smart.Format("Length: {0.Length}", "hello");         // "Length: 5"
  • Selectors are matched case-insensitively unless case-sensitive matching is enabled in the settings. Refer to Smart Strings settings reference for information on the different settings and how to enable them.
  • Enable Use Invariant Culture on the source to always use the invariant culture. Otherwise, the active culture is used for case conversions.
