Trait collections::str::FromStr [−] [src]

pub trait FromStr {
    type Err;
    fn from_str(s: &str) -> Result<Self, Self::Err>;
}

A trait to abstract the idea of creating a new instance of a type from a string.

FromStr's from_str() method is often used implicitly, through str's parse() method. See parse()'s documentation for examples.

Associated Types

type Err

The associated error which can be returned from parsing.

Required Methods

fn from_str(s: &str) -> Result<Self, Self::Err>

Parses a string s to return a value of this type.

If parsing succeeds, return the value inside Ok, otherwise when the string is ill-formatted return an error specific to the inside Err. The error type is specific to implementation of the trait.

Examples

Basic usage with i32, a type that implements FromStr:

fn main() { use std::str::FromStr; let s = "5"; let x = i32::from_str(s).unwrap(); assert_eq!(5, x); }
use std::str::FromStr;

let s = "5";
let x = i32::from_str(s).unwrap();

assert_eq!(5, x);
