String Methods and Properties

String Length
The length property returns the length of a string:
Example
var txt = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
var sln = txt.length;
//returns 26

indexOf()
The indexOf() method returns the index of (the position of) the first occurrence
of a specified text in a string: if not found returns -1.
Example
var str = "Please locate where 'locate' occurs!";
var pos = str.indexOf("locate");
//returns 7
var str = "Please locate where 'locate' occurs!";
var pos = str.indexOf("locate",15);
//returns 21

lastIndexOf()
The lastIndexOf() method returns the index of the last occurrence of a
specified text in a string: if not found returns -1.
Example:
var str = "Please locate where 'locate' occurs!";
var pos = str.lastIndexOf("locate");
//returns 21
var str = "Please locate where 'locate' occurs!";
var pos = str.lastIndexOf("locate",20);
//returns 7
substring(start, end)
substring() extracts a part of a string and returns the extracted part in a new
string. substring() cannot accept negative indexes.
Example
var str = "Apple, Banana, Kiwi";
var res = str.substring(7, 13);
//retuns Banana

substr()
substr() is similar to substring(). The difference is that the second parameter
specifies the length of the extracted part.
Example:
var str = "Apple, Banana, Kiwi";
var res = str.substr(7, 6);
//returns Banana

toLowerCase()
Converts a string to lowercase.

toUpperCase()
Converts a string to uppercase.

trim()
The trim() method removes whitespace from both sides of a string.
Example:
var str = myTrim(" Hello World! ");
alert(str);
