DESCRIPTION¶
The package
textutil::string provides miscellaneous string manipulation
commands.
The complete set of procedures is described below.
- ::textutil::string::chop string
- A convenience command. Removes the last character of string and
returns the shortened string.
- ::textutil::string::tail string
- A convenience command. Removes the first character of string and
returns the shortened string.
- ::textutil::string::cap string
- Capitalizes the first character of string and returns the modified
string.
- ::textutil::string::capEachWord string
- Capitalizes the first character of word of the string and returns
the modified string. Words quoted with either backslash or dollar-sign are
left untouched.
- ::textutil::string::uncap string
- The complementary operation to ::textutil::string::cap. Forces the
first character of string to lower case and returns the modified
string.
- ::textutil::string::longestCommonPrefixList list
- ::textutil::string::longestCommonPrefix ?string...?
- Computes the longest common prefix for either the strings given to
the command, or the strings specified in the single list, and
returns it as the result of the command.
If no strings were specified the result is the empty string. If only one
string was specified, the string itself is returned, as it is its own
longest common prefix.
