What Are String Utilities?
String utilities are small functions that help you inspect, clean, transform, and format text. They are useful in web development, programming, content preparation, data cleanup, and everyday text-processing tasks.
Available String Operations
ToolSwift provides a range of operations on the text entered above:
- Count words: count words in the supplied text.
- Reverse: reverse the characters in the string.
- Count sentences: count sentences in the supplied text.
- Uppercase and lowercase: change the letter case of text.
- HTML escaping: escape markup characters for text-safe HTML output.
- Length: measure the string length.
- Line count: count newline characters in the input.
- HTML unescaping and entity decoding: convert encoded HTML representations back into text.
- Latin character accent removal: remove supported accents from Latin characters.
- Case conversion: create camel case, title case, dash-delimited, underscore-delimited, and related formats.
- Whitespace cleanup: collapse adjacent whitespace characters.
- URL slug creation: convert text into a URL-friendly slug.
How to Use String Utilities
- Enter or paste your text into the input box.
- Select the string operation you want to perform.
- Click Result to process the input.
- Review the generated result or message.
- Click Clear when you want to process another string.
String Counting for Text Analysis
Word, sentence, character, and line counts can help when checking document length, preparing content for a specific interface, testing sample data, or reviewing text before publishing. Counts can vary depending on how whitespace, punctuation, and special characters are interpreted by a particular implementation.
Text Case Conversion
Uppercase, lowercase, title case, capitalization, camel case, dash-delimited, and underscore-delimited formats are commonly used when preparing text for interfaces, identifiers, labels, filenames, URLs, and programming-related workflows. Review the output before using it in code because naming conventions differ between languages and projects.
HTML Escape and Unescape
HTML escaping converts characters with special meaning in HTML into encoded representations. This can be useful when displaying markup as text. Unescaping or decoding HTML entities performs the reverse type of transformation. These operations are different from security validation, so application developers should still use appropriate server-side input handling and output-encoding practices.
Creating URL-Friendly Slugs
The slugify operation is useful for turning readable titles into URL-friendly text. A typical slug uses lowercase words separated by delimiters and avoids unnecessary spaces. Always check the generated slug before publishing it, especially when the original text contains special characters or non-Latin scripts.
