str2multislice

Parse a string-serialized MultiSlice object.

Usage

var str2multislice = require( '@stdlib/slice/base/str2multislice' );

str2multislice( str )

Parses a string-serialized MultiSlice object.

var s = str2multislice( 'MultiSlice(0,Slice(2,10,1),1)' );
// returns <MultiSlice>

var d = s.data;
// returns [ 0, <Slice>, 1 ]

The function returns null if provided an invalid string.

var s = str2multislice( 'MultiSlice(foo,bar)' );
// returns null

Notes

The string serialization format must match that of a MultiSlice object.

var Slice = require( '@stdlib/slice/ctor' );
var MultiSlice = require( '@stdlib/slice/multi' );

var s = new MultiSlice( null, new Slice( 2, 10, 1 ), 10 );
// returns <MultiSlice>

var str = s.toString();
// returns 'MultiSlice(null,Slice(2,10,1),10)'

Examples

var str2multislice = require( '@stdlib/slice/base/str2multislice' );

var s = str2multislice( 'MultiSlice(null,null,null)' );
var d = s.data;
// returns [ null, null, null ]

s = str2multislice( 'MultiSlice(10,Slice(2,10,1),null)' );
d = s.data;
// returns [ 10, <Slice>, null ]

s = str2multislice( 'MultiSlice(2,Slice(2,10,1),-5)' );
d = s.data;
// returns [ 2, <Slice>, -5 ]

s = str2multislice( 'MultiSlice(foo,bar)' );
// returns null
