strconv.AppendQuoteToASCII()

The AppendQuoteToASCII() function is an inbuilt function of the strconv package which is used to append the double-quoted Go string literal representing s (as generated by QuoteToASCII() function), to dst and returns the extended buffer. Where dst is the first parameter of []byte type and s is the second parameter of string type.

It accepts two parameters (dst, s) and returns the extended buffer.

Syntax

func AppendQuoteToASCII(dst []byte, s string) []byte

Parameters

• dst : A byte array (or byte slices) in which we have to append the double-quoted Go string literal.
• s : String to be appended.

Return Value

The return type of AppendQuoteToASCII() function is a []byte, it returns the extended buffer after appending the double-quoted string.

Example 1

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of strconv.AppendQuoteToASCII() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	x := []byte("QuoteToASCII:")
	fmt.Println("Before AppendQuoteToASCII()")
	fmt.Println(string(x))

	// Appending a quote to the x
	x = strconv.AppendQuoteToASCII(x, `"If you can dream it, you can do it."`)
	fmt.Println("After AppendQuoteToASCII()")
	fmt.Println(string(x))
}

Output:

Before AppendQuoteToASCII()
QuoteToASCII:
After AppendQuoteToASCII()
QuoteToASCII:"\"If you can dream it, you can do it.\""

Example 2

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of strconv.AppendQuoteToASCII() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	x := []byte("AppendQuoteToASCII:")
	fmt.Println("Before appending...")
	fmt.Println("x:", string(x))
	fmt.Println("Length(x): ", len(x))

	// Appending quotes to the x
	x = strconv.AppendQuoteToASCII(x, `"If you can dream it, you can do it."`)
	x = strconv.AppendQuoteToASCII(x, `"Aspire to inspire before we expire."`)

	fmt.Println("After appending...")
	fmt.Println("x:", string(x))
	fmt.Println("Length(x): ", len(x))
}

Output:

Before appending...
x: AppendQuoteToASCII:
Length(x):  19
After appending...
x: AppendQuoteToASCII:"\"If you can dream it, you can do it.\"""\"Aspire to inspire before we expire.\""
Length(x):  101
