Strings█ OVERVIEW
This library provides string manipulation functions to complement the Pine Script™ `str.*()` built-in functions.
█ CONCEPTS
At the time our String Manipulation Framework was published, there was little in the way of built-in functions to manipulate strings. Since then, we have witnessed several meaningful developments on this front by the nimble Pine team. The newly released functions (including the ones in this blog post ) have deprecated most of our functions. This library captures the small handful of functions we think are still pertinent. It is worth noting that, thanks to the new string built-ins in Pine Script™, these functions greatly outperform their earlier counterparts, both performance-wise and because they can return values of simple form, which are a necessity in some circumstances, such as when used as arguments to some parameters of request.security() .
█ NOTES
`leftOf()` and `rightOf()`
Using the functions in this library is straightforward. The `leftOf()` and `rightOf()` functions extract the part of a string that is to the left or to the right of another string or character. This can be useful to separate the exchange and symbol components of user-entered tickers, for example. The separation is done with the underused str.match() , which can use regular expressions (or regex) to scan a string and separate characters based on a search pattern. The possibilities with regex are virtually endless; they can be used in “find and replace” applications, or to validate phone numbers, emails, passwords, credit card numbers, dates, etc. Note that Pine supports the same regex features as Java .
String operations in Pine Script™
The Pine Script™ runtime is optimized for number crunching. You can thus optimize script performance by limiting operations on strings whenever possible. This includes declaring strings with the var keyword, and containing re-assignments to local if blocks using barstate.islast , for example.
Look first. Then leap.

hashmapsA simple hashmap implementation for pinescript.
It gets your string array and transforms it into a hashmap.
Before using it you need to initialize your array with the size you need for your specific case since the size is not dynamic.
To use it, first you need to import it the following way:
> import marspumpkin/hashmaps/1
Then, initialize your array with the size needed for your specific case:
> hashmap = array.new_string(10000)
After that you can call:
> hashmaps.put() and hashmaps.get()
Passing in the array(hashmap), key and value.
I hope this helps you in your pinescript journey.
psonPineScript Object Notation
A workaround not having objects in pinescript.
This is a Json-look-alike interpreter.
Format: "attr=value:attr1=value1:attr2=value2".
You can add new attributes, get the value in those attributes, set new values to existing attributes and check if an attribute exists.
Dictionary/Object LibraryThis Library is aimed to mitigate the limitation of Pinescript having only one structured data type which is only arrays.
It lacks data types like Dictionaries(in Python) or Object (in JS) that are standard for other languages. Tuples do exist, but it hardly solves any problem.
Working only with Arrays could be overwhelming if your codebase is large. I looked for alternatives to arrays but couldn't find any library.
So I coded it myself and it's been working good for me. So I wanted to share it with you all.
What does it do:
==================
If you are familiar with Python or Javascript, this library tries to immimate Object/Dictonary like structure with Key Value Pairs.
For Example:
object= {name:"John Doe", age: 28 , org: "PineCoders"}
And then it also tries to immitate the Array of Objects (I call it Stack)
like this:
stack= Array({name:"John Doe", age: 28 , org: "PineCoders"},
{name:"Adam Smith", age: 32 , org: "PineCoders"},
{name:"Paragjyoti Deka", age: 25 , org: "PineCoders"})
So there are basically two ideas: Objects and Stacks.
But it looks whole different in Pinescript for obvious reasons.
Limitation:
The major limitation I couldn't overcome was that, for all of the values: both input and return values for properties will be of string type.
This is due to the limiation of Pinecsript that there is no way to return a value on a if-else statement dynamically with different data types.
And as the input data type must be explicitly defined when exporting the library functions, only string inputs are allowed.
Now that doesn't mean you won't be able to use integer, float or boolens, you just need to pass the string value for it using str.tostring() method.
And the output for the getter functions will be in strings as well. But I have added some type conversion methods that you could use from this library itself.
From String to Float, String To Integer and String to Boolean: these three methods are included in this library.
So basically the whole library is based on a manipulatiion of Array of strings under the hood.
///////////////
Usage
///////////////
Import the library using this statement:
import paragjyoti2012/STR_Dict_Lib/4 as DictLib
Objects
First define an object using this method:
for eample:
object1= DictLib.init("name=John,age=26,org=")
This is similar to
object1= {name:"John",age:"26", org:""} in JS or Python
Just like we did here in for "org", you can set initital value to "". But remember to pass string values, even for a numerical properties, like here in "age".
You can use "age="+str.tostring(age). If you find it tedious, you can always add properties later on using .set() method.
So it could also be initiated like this
object= DictLib.init("name=John")
and later on
DictLib.set(object1,"age", str.toString(age))
DictLib.set(object1,"org", "PineCoders")
The getter function looks like this
age= DictLib.get(object1,"age")
name=DictLib.get(object1,"name")
The first argument for all methods .get, .set, and .remove is the pointer (name of the object).
///////////////////////////
Array Of Objects (Stacks)
///////////////////////////
As I mentioned earlier, I call the array of objects as Stack.
Here's how to initialize a Stack.
stack= DictLib.initStack(object1)
The .initStack() method takes an object pointer as argument. It simply converts the array into a string and pushes it into the newly created stack.
Rest of all the methods for Stacks, takes the stack pointer as it's first arument.
For example:
DictLib.pushStack(stack,object2)
The second argument here is the object pointer. It adds the object to it's stack. Although it might feel like a two dimentional array, it's actually an one dimentional array with string values.
Under the hood, it looks like this
////////////////////

...............
1. Always pass string values as arguments.
2. The return values will be of type string, so convert them before to avoid typecasting conflict.
3. Horses can't vomit.
More Informations
====================
Yes, You can store this objects and stacks for persisting through the iterations of a script across successive bars.
You just need to set the variable using "var" keyword. Remember this objects and stacks are just arrays,
so any methods and properties an array have it pinescript, would be applicable for objects and stacks.
It can also be used in security functions without any issues for MTF Analysis.
If you have any suggestions or feedback, please comment on the thread, I would surely be happy to help.

ConverterTFLibrary "ConverterTF"
I have found a bug Regarding the timeframe display, on the chart I have found that the display is numeric, for example 4Hr timeframe instead of '4H', but it turns out to be '240', which I want it to be displayed in abbreviated form. And in all other timeframes it's the same. So this library was created to solve those problems. It converts a timeframe from a numeric string type to an integer type by selecting a timeframe manually and displaying it on the chart.
CTF()
str = "240"
X.GetTF( str )
Example
str = input.timeframe(title='Time frame', defval='240')
TimeF = CTF(str)
L=label.new(bar_index, high, 'Before>> Timeframe '+str+' After>> Timeframe '+TimeF,style=label.style_label_down,size=size.large)
label.delete(L )
Custom timeframes can handle this issue as well.
An example from the use. You will find it on the bottom right hand side.
Hopefully it will be helpful to the Tradingview community. :)

Pinescript - Common String Functions Library by RRBCommon String Functions Library by RagingRocketBull 2021
Version 1.0
Pinescript now has strong support for arrays with many powerful functions, but still lacks built-in string functions. Luckily you can easily process and manipulate strings using arrays.
This script provides a library of common string functions for everyday use, such as: indexOf, substr, replace, ascii_code, str_to_int etc. There are 100+ unique functions (130 including all implementations)
It should serve as building blocks to speed up the development of your custom scripts. You should also be able to learn how Pinescript arrays works and how you can process strings.
Similar libraries for Array and Statistical Functions are in the works. You can find the full list of functions below.
Features:
- 100+ unique string functions (130 including all implementations) in categories: lookup, testing, conversion, modification, extraction, type conversion, date and time, console output
- Live Output for all/selected functions based on User Input. Test any function before using in script.
- Live Unit Test Output for several functions based on pre-defined inputs.
- Output filters: show unique functions/all implementations, grouping
- Console customization options: set custom text size, color, page length
- Support for Pages - auto splits output into pages with fixed length, use pages in your scripts
- Several easy to use console output functions to speed up debugging/output.
WARNING:
- Compilation Time: 1 min
Notes:
- uses Pinescript v3 Compatibility Framework
- this script is packed to the max and sets a new record in testing of Pinescript's limits: 500 local scopes, 4000+ lines, 180kb+ source size. It's not possible to add more ifs/fors/functions without reducing functionality
- to fit the max limit of local scopes = 500 all ifs were replaced with ?: where possible, the number of function calls was reduced, some calls replaced with inline function code
- ifs are faster (especially when lots of them are used in a for cycle), more readable, but ifs/fors/functions increase local scopes (+1) and compiled file size, have max nesting limit = 10.
- ?: are slower (especially in for cycles), hard to read when nested, don't affect local scopes, reduce compiled file size, can't contain plots, for statements (break/continue) and sets of statements
- for most array functions to work (except push), an array must be defined with at least 1 pre-existing dummy element 0.
- if you see "String too long" error - enable Show Pages, reduce Max Chars Per Page < Max String Length limit = 4096.
- if you see "Loop too long" error - hide/unhide or reattach the script
- some functions have several implementations that can be faster/slower, use internal code/ext functions
- 1 is manual string processing using for cycles (array.get) and ext functions - provided in case you want to implement your own logic, may sometimes be slower
- 2 is a 2nd alternate implementation mostly done using built-in functions (array.indexof, array.slice, array.insert, array.remove, str.replace_all),
attempts to minimize local scopes and dependency on ext functions, should generally be faster
- 3 is a 3rd alternate (array.includes, array.fill) or a more advanced implementation (datetime3_str) with lots of params, giving you the most control over output
- most functions have dependencies, such as const names, global arrays, inputs, other functions.
P.S. Strings of Time may be closed unto themselves or have loose ends; they can vibrate, stretch, join or split.

DEMO ASCII Encode/DecodeDemo
Encode a string to an ascii array and decode the ascii array to a string.
Reads ascii 32 to 126.
Takes a long time to execute. You may get the "Loop is too long (> 200 ms)" execution error.
You can change the loop to iterate fewer times thereby shorten the string length.
OR
you can limit the characters converted.
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE KLUDGE.
Just showing how to do this.
Store several numbers in a stringA method to store a bunch of numbers in one string.
Using my method of translating a string to a number, we can put several values in one string and then pop them up when we need.
To store the values I use a semicolon as a separator, so the format of the string is next one:
NUMBER:NUMBER:NUMBER:NUMBER
I don't see any useful application of this method (maybe, to pass some additional info to the script in one string), but maybe it'll be helpful to someone.
