'''String manipulation''' (or '''string handling''') is the process of changing, parsing, splicing, pasting, or analyzing [[strings]]. String manipulation typically comes as a mechanism or a library feature of in most [[programming language]]s.

'''String manipulation''' (or '''string handling''') is a mechanism or a library feature of most [[programming language]]s that provides the capabilities of performing various operations on [[string]]s. Typically such operations include performing basic tasks such as concatenation, copying, tokenization, searching, and replacing.
  
 
Typically, most programming languages provide a [[string]] [[data type]] that holds a sequence of characters. Such types often expose a set of [[function]]s and various other low-level functionality for manipulating the contained characters.

== Common operations ==
+
Below is a summary of various string manipulation facilities in different languages.
  
−
*'''[[Concatenation - string manipulation|Concatenation]]''' is the process of joining two [[strings]] together into a single string. For example "<code>race</code>" concatenated with "<code>car</code>" results in "<code>racecar</code>".
+
== ALGOL ==
−
*'''[[Splitting - string manipulation|Splitting]]''' is the process of breaking down a string into multiple strings according to a certain [[delimiter]] or rule (e.g. [[regex]] pattern). For example "<code>A B C</code>" could be split into three separate strings, ("<code>A</code>", "<code>B</code>", "<code>C</code>"), using the space character as a delimiter.

−
*'''[[Substrings - string manipulation|Substrings]]''' is the process of extracting a portion of the string from a bigger string. Such operations typically involve a starting offset and a length. For example, one possible substring of "<code>apples</code>" is "<code>pp</code>".
 
−
*'''[[Case conversion - string manipulation|Case conversion]]''' is the process of converting a string into a specific case for example into all lowercase or [[titlecase]].
 
−
*'''[[Searching - string manipulation|Searching]]''' is the process of searching for a specific pattern in a string.
