1. 字符串属性函数

     系统版本：CentOS release 6.2 (Final)2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64

     python版本：Python 2.6.6

字符串属性方法

1. >>> str='string learn'
2. >>> dir(str)
3. ['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__', '__getnewargs__', '__getslice__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__le__', '__len__', '__lt__', '__mod__', '__mul__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__rmod__', '__rmul__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '_formatter_field_name_split', '_formatter_parser', 'capitalize', 'center', 'count', 'decode', 'encode', 'endswith', 'expandtabs', 'find', 'format', 'index', 'isalnum', 'isalpha', 'isdigit', 'islower', 'isspace', 'istitle', 'isupper', 'join', 'ljust', 'lower', 'lstrip', 'partition', 'replace', 'rfind', 'rindex', 'rjust', 'rpartition', 'rsplit', 'rstrip', 'split', 'splitlines', 'startswith', 'strip', 'swapcase', 'title', 'translate', 'upper', 'zfill']

可以将这些方法按功能用途划分为以下几种类型：

字符串格式输出对齐

1. >>> str='stRINg lEArn'
2. >>>
3. >>> str.center(20)      #生成20个字符长度，str排中间
4. '    stRINg lEArn    '
5. >>>
6. >>> str.ljust(20)       #str左对齐
7. 'stRINg lEArn        '
8. >>>
9. >>> str.rjust(20)       #str右对齐
10. '        stRINg lEArn'
11. >>>
12. >>> str.zfill(20)       #str右对齐，左边填充0
13. '00000000stRINg lEArn'

大小写转换

1. >>> str='stRINg lEArn'
2. >>>
3. >>> str.upper() #转大写
4. 'STRING LEARN'
5. >>>
6. >>> str.lower() #转小写
7. 'string learn'
8. >>>
9. >>> str.capitalize() #字符串首为大写，其余小写
10. 'String learn'
11. >>>
12. >>> str.swapcase() #大小写对换
13. 'STrinG LeaRN'
14. >>>
15. >>> str.title() #以分隔符为标记，首字符为大写，其余为小写
16. 'String Learn'

字符串条件判断

1. >>> str='0123'
2. >>> str.isalnum()  #是否全是字母和数字，并至少有一个字符
3. True
4. >>> str.isdigit()   #是否全是数字，并至少有一个字符
5. True
6. >>> str='abcd'
7. >>> str.isalnum()
8. True
9. >>> str.isalpha()   #是否全是字母，并至少有一个字符
10. True
11. >>> 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
12. True
13. >>> str='abcd0123'
14. >>> str.islower()   #同上
15. True
16. >>> str.isalnum()
17. True
18. >>> str=' '
19. >>> str.isspace()    #是否全是空白字符，并至少有一个字符
20. True
21. >>> str='ABC'
22. >>> 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
23. True
24. >>> str='Abb Acc'
25. >>> str.istitle()    #所有单词字首都是大写，标题
26. True
27. >>> str='string learn'
28. >>> str.startswith('str') #判断字符串以'str'开头
29. True
30. >>> str.endswith('arn')   #判读字符串以'arn'结尾
31. True

字符串搜索定位与替换

1. >>> str='string lEARn'
2. >>>
3. >>> str.find('a')      #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
4. -1
5. >>> str.find('n')
6. 4
7. >>> str.rfind('n')     #同上，只是返回的索引是最后一次匹配的
8. 11
9. >>>
10. >>> str.index('a')     #如果没有匹配则报错
11. Traceback (most recent call last):
12. File "", line 1, in <module>
13. ValueError: substring not found
14. >>> str.index('n')     #同find类似,返回第一次匹配的索引值
15. 4
16. >>> str.rindex('n')    #返回最后一次匹配的索引值
17. 11
18. >>>
19. >>> str.count('a')     #字符串中匹配的次数
20. 0
21. >>> str.count('n')     #同上
22. 2
23. >>>
24. >>> str.replace('EAR','ear')  #匹配替换
25. 'string learn'
26. >>> str.replace('n','N')
27. 'striNg lEARN'
28. >>> str.replace('n','N',1)
29. 'striNg lEARn'
30. >>>
31. >>>
32. >>> 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
33. 'string lEAR'
34. >>> str.lstrip('n')  #左匹配
35. 'string lEARn'
36. >>> str.rstrip('n')  #右匹配
37. 'string lEAR'
38. >>>
39. >>> str=' tab'
40. >>> str.expandtabs()  #把制表符转为空格
41. '      tab'
42. >>> str.expandtabs(2) #指定空格数
43. ' tab'

字符串编码与解码

1. >>> str='字符串学习'
2. >>> str
3. '\xe5\xad\x97\xe7\xac\xa6\xe4\xb8\xb2\xe5\xad\xa6\xe4\xb9\xa0'
4. >>>
5. >>> str.decode('utf-8')               #解码过程，将utf-8解码为unicode
6. u'\u5b57\u7b26\u4e32\u5b66\u4e60'
7. >>> str.decode('utf-8').encode('gbk')  #编码过程，将unicode编码为gbk
8. '\xd7\xd6\xb7\xfb\xb4\xae\xd1\xa7\xcf\xb0'

10. '\xe5\xad\x97\xe7\xac\xa6\xe4\xb8\xb2\xe5\xad\xa6\xe4\xb9\xa0'

字符串分割变换

2. >>> '-'.join(str)
3. 'L-e-a-r-n- -s-t-r-i-n-g'
4. >>> l1=['Learn','string']
5. >>> '-'.join(l1)

16. ['Learn string']
17. >>>
