+l3str

+A 'string' in TeX terms is a token list in which all of the tokens have
+category code 12 ('other'), with the exception of spaces which have the
+category code 10 ('space'). The l3str bundle consists of two parts. The
+first is l3str itself. This is a collection of functions to act on strings,
+including for manipulations such as UTF8 mappings in pdfTeX. The second
+part of the bundle is l3regex, a regular expression search-and-replace
+implementation written in TeX primitives. The regex module works on a string
+basis, ignoring category codes.
