-String operations.
-
-Search and Replace
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-FIND
-""""
-
-::
-
- string(FIND <string> <substring> <output variable> [REVERSE])
-
-Return the position where the given substring was found in
-the supplied string. If the ``REVERSE`` flag was used, the command will
-search for the position of the last occurrence of the specified
-substring. If the substring is not found, a position of -1 is returned.
-
-REPLACE
-"""""""
-
-::
-
- string(REPLACE <match_string>
- <replace_string> <output variable>
- <input> [<input>...])
-
-Replace all occurrences of ``match_string`` in the input
-with ``replace_string`` and store the result in the output.
-
-Regular Expressions
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-REGEX MATCH
-"""""""""""
-
-::
-
- string(REGEX MATCH <regular_expression>
- <output variable> <input> [<input>...])
-
-Match the regular expression once and store the match in the output variable.
-All ``<input>`` arguments are concatenated before matching.
-
-REGEX MATCHALL
-""""""""""""""
-
-::
-
- string(REGEX MATCHALL <regular_expression>
- <output variable> <input> [<input>...])
-
-Match the regular expression as many times as possible and store the matches
-in the output variable as a list.
-All ``<input>`` arguments are concatenated before matching.
-
-REGEX REPLACE
-"""""""""""""
-
-::
-
- string(REGEX REPLACE <regular_expression>
- <replace_expression> <output variable>
- <input> [<input>...])
-
-Match the regular expression as many times as possible and substitute the
-replacement expression for the match in the output.
-All ``<input>`` arguments are concatenated before matching.
-
-The replace expression may refer to paren-delimited subexpressions of the
-match using ``\1``, ``\2``, ..., ``\9``. Note that two backslashes (``\\1``)
-are required in CMake code to get a backslash through argument parsing.
-
-Regex Specification
-"""""""""""""""""""
-
-The following characters have special meaning in regular expressions:
-
-::
-
- ^ Matches at beginning of input
- $ Matches at end of input
- . Matches any single character
- [ ] Matches any character(s) inside the brackets
- [^ ] Matches any character(s) not inside the brackets
- - Inside brackets, specifies an inclusive range between
- characters on either side e.g. [a-f] is [abcdef]
- To match a literal - using brackets, make it the first
- or the last character e.g. [+*/-] matches basic
- mathematical operators.
- * Matches preceding pattern zero or more times
- + Matches preceding pattern one or more times
- ? Matches preceding pattern zero or once only
- | Matches a pattern on either side of the |
- () Saves a matched subexpression, which can be referenced
- in the REGEX REPLACE operation. Additionally it is saved
- by all regular expression-related commands, including
- e.g. if( MATCHES ), in the variables CMAKE_MATCH_(0..9).
-
-``*``, ``+`` and ``?`` have higher precedence than concatenation. ``|``
-has lower precedence than concatenation. This means that the regular
-expression ``^ab+d$`` matches ``abbd`` but not ``ababd``, and the regular
-expression ``^(ab|cd)$`` matches ``ab`` but not ``abd``.
-
-Manipulation
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-APPEND
-""""""
-
-::

-
-Append all the input arguments to the string.

-""""""
-
-::

-Concatenate all the input arguments together and store
-the result in the named output variable.

-"""""""

-
-LENGTH
-""""""
-
-::
-
- string(LENGTH <string> <output variable>)
-
-Store in an output variable a given string's length.
-
-SUBSTRING
-"""""""""
-
-::
-
- string(SUBSTRING <string> <begin> <length> <output variable>)
-
-Store in an output variable a substring of a given string. If length is
-``-1`` the remainder of the string starting at begin will be returned.
-If string is shorter than length then end of string is used instead.
-
-.. note::
- CMake 3.1 and below reported an error if length pointed past
- the end of string.
-
-STRIP
-"""""
-
-::
-
- string(STRIP <string> <output variable>)
-
-Store in an output variable a substring of a given string with leading and
-trailing spaces removed.
-

-"""""""""""
-
-::
-
- string(GENEX_STRIP <input string> <output variable>)
-
-Strip any :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`
-from the ``input string`` and store the result in the ``output variable``.
-
