lib.strings.stringToCharacters

Convert a string s to a list of characters (i.e. singleton strings). This allows you to, e.g., map a function over each character. However, note that this will likely be horribly inefficient; Nix is not a general purpose programming language. Complex string manipulations should, if appropriate, be done in a derivation. Also note that Nix treats strings as a list of bytes and thus doesn't handle unicode.

Inputs

s

1. Function argument

Type

stringToCharacters :: string -> [string]

Examples

stringToCharacters ""
=> [ ]
stringToCharacters "abc"
