The routines are developed not only for +cosmetic application, such as the changing of letter cases, selective +removal of character classes, and string substitution, but also for +programming application, such as character look-ahead applications, +argument parsing, if-tests for various string conditions, etc. A key +tenet employed during the development of this package (unlike, for +comparison, the \uppercase and \lowercase routines) was to have +resultant strings be ``expanded'' (i.e., the product of an \edef), so +that the \stringstrings routines could be strung together sequentially and +nested (after a fashion) to achieve very complex manipulations. + +Run `stringstrings.ins' through LaTeX to produce stringstrings.sty + from stringstrings.dtx. +Run `stringstrings.dtx' through LaTeX to produce the documentation. + +This program can be redistributed and/or modified, with attribution. + + Steven Segletes <steven@arl.army.mil> + 28 March 2008 + |
