Text functions evaluate or manipulate string data to perform operations like text modification, formatting, and extraction.


Concat	Combines multiple strings into a single text value.
Contains	Searches for a specified substring in a text value. If the substring is found, the function returns `True`, otherwise it returns `False`.
EndsWith	Determines if a text value ends with a specified substring. If the substring is found at the end of the text value, the function returns `True`, otherwise it returns `False`.
Find	Returns the index where it first finds the specified substring within a string. Returns `0` if not found.
ILike	Returns `True` if the string matches the pattern. Case insensitive.
Left	Returns the left portion of the string (the beginning), up to specified number of characters.
Len	Returns the number of characters in a string, including spaces.
Like	Returns `True` if the string value matches the pattern. Case sensitive.
LPad	Sets the string to a desired length by adding or removing characters at the front. Uses an optional fill character or defaults to extra spaces.
Lower	Converts a string to all lower case.
LTrim	Removes leading spaces from a string.
MD5	Calculates the hash value of a string for the MD5 message-digest algorithm (hashing function).
Mid	Returns a substring from a string, defined by offset and length. Same as Substring.
Proper	Converts text to proper case, capitalizing the first letter of each word.
RegexpExtract	Returns the substring that matches a regular expression within a string.
RegexpMatch	Returns `True` if a string matches a regular expression.
RegexpReplace	Returns a string for a pattern and replaces it with a specified string.

Replace	Replaces every instance of a specified string with a replacement string.
Reverse	Reverses the order of characters in a string.
Right	Returns the right portion of a string (the end), up to the specified number of characters.
RPad	Sets the string to a desired length by adding or removing characters at the end. Uses an optional fill character, or defaults to extra spaces.
RTrim	Removes trailing spaces from the end of a string.
SHA256	Transforms text input into a 256-bit hash value.
SplitPart	Splits the string into multiple parts at the positions of each appearance of the delimiter and returns the nth part of the string at the specified position.
StartsWith	Determines if a string starts with the specified substring. Returns `True` or `False`.
Substring	Returns a substring from a string, defined by offset and length. Same as Mid.
