String operations
*****************

.. currentmodule:: numpy.core.defchararray

This module provides a set of vectorized string operations for arrays
of type `numpy.string_` or `numpy.unicode_`.   All of them are based on
the string methods in the Python standard library.

String operations

.. autosummary::
   :toctree: generated/

   add

   center
   decode
   encode
   join
   ljust
   lower
   lstrip
   partition
   replace
   rjust
   rpartition
   rsplit
   rstrip
   split
   splitlines
   strip
   swapcase
   title
   translate
   upper
   zfill

Comparison
----------

Unlike the standard numpy comparison operators, the ones in the `char`
module strip trailing whitespace characters before performing the
comparison.

   :toctree: generated/

   equal
   not_equal
   greater_equal
   less_equal
   greater
   less
