String manipulation is the process in computer programming languages for handling, matching, parsing, searching or formatting of character strings.

Strings are a list of characters, such as 'string', 'manipulation', and 'languages'. A number value such as 1, 2, or 3.14159 is traditionally held in other formats, although they could be contained as strings.
