String

A String object is used to manipulate a series of characters.

A String object is created with new String() or by assigning a string to a variable.

          var s = new String("Hello world!");
// or just:
var s = "Hello world!";

// Finding the length of a string
var message = "Hello World!";
var x = message.length; // x is 12

// Converting a string to uppercase
var message="Hello world!";
var x=message.toUpperCase(); // x is "HELLO WORLD!"

/* The indexOf()method returns the position (as a number) of the 
first found occurrence of a specified text inside a string */
var str="Hello world, welcome to SuiteProjects Pro.";
var n=str.indexOf("welcome");

String Properties
