Various functions operating with Erlang strings and binaries.

Examples

Conversion of string (list of characters) to string containing hexadecimally encoded ASCII characters of the input string i.e. 'a' => 0x61 (97 decimally), '1' => 0x31 (49 decimally).

list_to_hex_string/1, hex_string_to_list/1

1> string_utils:list_to_hex_string("abc123").
"616263313233"
2> string_utils:hex_string_to_list("616263313233").
"abc123"

list_to_string/1

Concatenate list of atoms, integers and strings into comma-separated string with list of values.

3> string_utils:list_to_string([atom, 1, "str"]).
"atom,1,str"

get_random_string/2

Generate random string of given size from characters set.

4> string_utils:get_random_string(8, lists:seq($a,$f) ++ lists:seq($0,$9) ++ [$_, $/]).
"b/138_6f"

get_random_hex_bytes/1

Generate random binary string with given number of hexadecimal ASCII characters.

5> string_utils:get_random_hex_bytes(4).
<<"A01327EB">>

convert_case/2

Conversion of strings into different formats (camelCase, PascalCase, lower_case).

6> string_utils:convert_case("this_is_erlang", camel).
"thisIsErlang"
7> string_utils:convert_case("this_is_erlang", pascal).
"ThisIsErlang"
8> string_utils:convert_case("HelloWorld", lower).
