String

Description

Str1 == Str2

Equality. Checks if the two strings are equal. Result is 1 if they are equal and 0 if they are not. Both strings can be of type string. Or one of them can be a string literal. If both operands are string literals, the expression is the same Verilog equality operator for integer types. The special value " " is allowed.

Str1 != Str2

Inequality. Logical Negation of ==

<,>,<=,=>

Comparison. Relational operators return 1 if the corresponding condition is true using the lexicographical ordering of the two strings Str1 and Str2. The comparison behaves like the ANSI C strcmp function (or the compare string method) (with regard to the lexical ordering) and embedded null bytes are included. Both operands can be of type string, or one of them can be a string literal.

{Str1,Str2,...,Strn}

Concatenation. Each operand can be of type string or a string literal (it shall be implicitly converted to type string). If at least one operand is of type string, then the expression evaluates to the concatenated string and is of type string. If all the operands are string literals, then the expression behaves like a Verilog concatenation of integral types; if the result is then used in an expression involving string types, it is implicitly converted to the string type.

{multiplier{Str}}

Replication. Str can be of type string or a string literal. Multiplier must be of integral type and can be non-constant. If multiplier is non-constant or Str is of type string, the result is a string containing N concatenated copies of Str, where N is specified by the multiplier. If Str is a literal and the multiplier is constant, the expression behaves like numeric replication in Verilog (if the result is used in another expression involving string types, it is implicitly converted to the string type).

Str.method(...)

The dot (.) operator is used to invoke a specified method on strings.

Str[index]

Indexing. Returns a byte, the ASCII code at the given index. Indexes range from 0 to N-1, where N is the number of characters in the string. If given an index out of range, returns 0.
