-Search and Replace With Plain Strings
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-.. _FIND:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- 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.
-
-The ``string(FIND)`` subcommand treats all strings as ASCII-only characters.
-The index stored in ``<output_variable>`` will also be counted in bytes,
-so strings containing multi-byte characters may lead to unexpected results.
-
-.. _REPLACE:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- 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_variable>``.
-
-Search and Replace With Regular Expressions
-"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
-
-.. _`REGEX MATCH`:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- 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.
-Regular expressions are specified in the subsection just below.
-
-.. _`REGEX MATCHALL`:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- 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`:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(REGEX REPLACE <regular_expression>
- <replacement_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 ``<replacement_expression>`` may refer to parenthesis-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`:
-
-Regex Specification
-"""""""""""""""""""
-
-The following characters have special meaning in regular expressions:
-
-``^``
- Matches at beginning of input
-``$``
- Matches at end of input
-``.``
- Matches any single character
-``\<char>``
- Matches the single character specified by ``<char>``. Use this to
- match special regex characters, e.g. ``\.`` for a literal ``.``
- or ``\\`` for a literal backslash ``\``. Escaping a non-special
- character is unnecessary but allowed, e.g. ``\a`` matches ``a``.
-``[ ]``
- Matches any character(s) inside the brackets
-``[^ ]``
- Matches any character(s) not inside the brackets
-``-``
- Inside brackets, specifies an inclusive range between
- characters on either side e.g. ``[a-f]`` is ``[abcdef]``
- To match a literal ``-`` using brackets, make it the first
- or the last character e.g. ``[+*/-]`` matches basic
- mathematical operators.
-``*``
- Matches preceding pattern zero or more times
-``+``
- Matches preceding pattern one or more times
-``?``
- Matches preceding pattern zero or once only
-``|``
- Matches a pattern on either side of the ``|``
-``()``
- Saves a matched subexpression, which can be referenced
- in the ``REGEX REPLACE`` operation. Additionally it is saved
- by all regular expression-related commands, including
- e.g. :command:`if(MATCHES)`, in the variables
- :variable:`CMAKE_MATCH_<n>` for ``<n>`` 0..9.
-
-``*``, ``+`` and ``?`` have higher precedence than concatenation. ``|``
-has lower precedence than concatenation. This means that the regular
-expression ``^ab+d$`` matches ``abbd`` but not ``ababd``, and the regular
-expression ``^(ab|cd)$`` matches ``ab`` but not ``abd``.
-
-CMake language :ref:`Escape Sequences` such as ``\t``, ``\r``, ``\n``,
-and ``\\`` may be used to construct literal tabs, carriage returns,
-newlines, and backslashes (respectively) to pass in a regex. For example:
-
-* The quoted argument ``"[ \t\r\n]"`` specifies a regex that matches
- any single whitespace character.
-* The quoted argument ``"[/\\]"`` specifies a regex that matches
- a single forward slash ``/`` or backslash ``\``.
-* The quoted argument ``"[A-Za-z0-9_]"`` specifies a regex that matches
- any single "word" character in the C locale.
-* The quoted argument ``"\\(\\a\\+b\\)"`` specifies a regex that matches
- the exact string ``(a+b)``. Each ``\\`` is parsed in a quoted argument
- as just ``\``, so the regex itself is actually ``\(\a\+\b\)``. This
- can alternatively be specified in a :ref:`bracket argument` without
- having to escape the backslashes, e.g. ``[[\(\a\+\b\)]]``.

-Manipulation
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-.. _APPEND:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(APPEND <string_variable> [<input>...])
-
-Append all the ``<input>`` arguments to the string.
-
-.. _PREPEND:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(PREPEND <string_variable> [<input>...])
-
-Prepend all the ``<input>`` arguments to the string.
-
-.. _CONCAT:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(CONCAT <output_variable> [<input>...])
-
-Concatenate all the ``<input>`` arguments together and store
-the result in the named ``<output_variable>``.
-
-.. _JOIN:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(JOIN <glue> <output_variable> [<input>...])
-
-Join all the ``<input>`` arguments together using the ``<glue>``
-string and store the result in the named ``<output_variable>``.
-
-To join a list's elements, prefer to use the ``JOIN`` operator
-from the :command:`list` command. This allows for the elements to have
-special characters like ``;`` in them.
-
-.. _TOLOWER:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(TOLOWER <string> <output_variable>)
-
-Convert ``<string>`` to lower characters.
-
-.. _TOUPPER:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(TOUPPER <string> <output_variable>)
-
-Convert ``<string>`` to upper characters.
-
-.. _LENGTH:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(LENGTH <string> <output_variable>)
-
-Store in an ``<output_variable>`` a given string's length in bytes.
-Note that this means if ``<string>`` contains multi-byte characters, the
-result stored in ``<output_variable>`` will *not* be the number of characters.
-
-.. _SUBSTRING:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- 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 the
-end of the string is used instead.
-
-Both ``<begin>`` and ``<length>`` are counted in bytes, so care must
-be exercised if ``<string>`` could contain multi-byte characters.
-
-.. note::
- CMake 3.1 and below reported an error if ``<length>`` pointed past
- the end of ``<string>``.
-
-.. _STRIP:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(STRIP <string> <output_variable>)
-
-Store in an ``<output_variable>`` a substring of a given ``<string>`` with
-leading and trailing spaces removed.
-
-.. _GENEX_STRIP:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(GENEX_STRIP <string> <output_variable>)
-
-Strip any :manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`
-from the input ``<string>`` and store the result in the ``<output_variable>``.
-
-.. _REPEAT:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(REPEAT <string> <count> <output_variable>)
-
-Produce the output string as the input ``<string>`` repeated ``<count>`` times.
-
-Comparison
-^^^^^^^^^^
-
-.. _COMPARE:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(COMPARE LESS <string1> <string2> <output_variable>)
- string(COMPARE GREATER <string1> <string2> <output_variable>)
- string(COMPARE EQUAL <string1> <string2> <output_variable>)
- string(COMPARE NOTEQUAL <string1> <string2> <output_variable>)
- string(COMPARE LESS_EQUAL <string1> <string2> <output_variable>)
- string(COMPARE GREATER_EQUAL <string1> <string2> <output_variable>)
-
-Compare the strings and store true or false in the ``<output_variable>``.
-
-.. _`Supported Hash Algorithms`:
-
-Hashing
-^^^^^^^
-
-.. _`HASH`:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(<HASH> <output_variable> <input>)
-
-Compute a cryptographic hash of the ``<input>`` string.
-The supported ``<HASH>`` algorithm names are:

-
- string(ASCII <number> [<number> ...] <output_variable>)
-
-Convert all numbers into corresponding ASCII characters.
-
-.. _HEX:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(HEX <string> <output_variable>)
-
-Convert each byte in the input ``<string>`` to its hexadecimal representation
-and store the concatenated hex digits in the ``<output_variable>``. Letters in
-the output (``a`` through ``f``) are in lowercase.

-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(MAKE_C_IDENTIFIER <string> <output_variable>)
-
-Convert each non-alphanumeric character in the input ``<string>`` to an
-underscore and store the result in the ``<output_variable>``. If the first
-character of the ``<string>`` is a digit, an underscore will also be prepended
-to the result.
-
-.. _RANDOM:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(RANDOM [LENGTH <length>] [ALPHABET <alphabet>]
- [RANDOM_SEED <seed>] <output_variable>)
-
-Return a random string of given ``<length>`` consisting of
-characters from the given ``<alphabet>``. Default length is 5 characters
-and default alphabet is all numbers and upper and lower case letters.
-If an integer ``RANDOM_SEED`` is given, its value will be used to seed the
-random number generator.
-
-.. _TIMESTAMP:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(TIMESTAMP <output_variable> [<format_string>] [UTC])
-
-Write a string representation of the current date
-and/or time to the ``<output_variable>``.
-
-If the command is unable to obtain a timestamp, the ``<output_variable>``
-will be set to the empty string ``""``.
-
-The optional ``UTC`` flag requests the current date/time representation to
-be in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) rather than local time.
-
-The optional ``<format_string>`` may contain the following format
-specifiers:
-
-::
-
- %% A literal percent sign (%).
- %d The day of the current month (01-31).
- %H The hour on a 24-hour clock (00-23).
- %I The hour on a 12-hour clock (01-12).
- %j The day of the current year (001-366).
- %m The month of the current year (01-12).
- %b Abbreviated month name (e.g. Oct).
- %B Full month name (e.g. October).
- %M The minute of the current hour (00-59).
- %s Seconds since midnight (UTC) 1-Jan-1970 (UNIX time).
- %S The second of the current minute.
- 60 represents a leap second. (00-60)
- %U The week number of the current year (00-53).

- %a Abbreviated weekday name (e.g. Fri).
- %A Full weekday name (e.g. Friday).
- %y The last two digits of the current year (00-99)
- %Y The current year.
-
-Unknown format specifiers will be ignored and copied to the output
-as-is.
-
-If no explicit ``<format_string>`` is given, it will default to:
-
-::
-
- %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S for local time.
- %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ for UTC.
-
-.. note::
-
- If the ``SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`` environment variable is set,
- its value will be used instead of the current time.
- See https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/ for details.
-
-.. _UUID:
-
-.. code-block:: cmake
-
- string(UUID <output_variable> NAMESPACE <namespace> NAME <name>
- TYPE <MD5|SHA1> [UPPER])
-
-Create a universally unique identifier (aka GUID) as per RFC4122
-based on the hash of the combined values of ``<namespace>``
-(which itself has to be a valid UUID) and ``<name>``.
-The hash algorithm can be either ``MD5`` (Version 3 UUID) or
-``SHA1`` (Version 5 UUID).
-A UUID has the format ``xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx``
-where each ``x`` represents a lower case hexadecimal character.
-Where required, an uppercase representation can be requested
-with the optional ``UPPER`` flag.
