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.
