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::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.
