Some additional string library functions

[spikey]

#PB_String_InPlace for LCase and UCase
It would be useful to be able to LCase or UCase larger strings in place the same way that ReplaceString can.

FindString in a buffer
It would be useful to be able to supply a pointer argument to FindString's String$ parameter.

TCase or ICase
A New Function To Initial Capitalise A String

Thank you for consideration.

Sorry, wrong thread...

In version PB v6.40 Alpha there will be no string inplace. Has also been removed in ReplaceString.

Yes, that reminds me of something...

Extension of StringField() ... New Parameter => Mode

Code: Select all

Result$ = StringField(String$, Index, Delimiter$, Mode=#PB_StringField_None) 
; 
; All (new) Mode Constants 
;
; #PB_StringField_None        ; default, act like the old Version 
; #PB_StringField_NoCase      ; ... if Delimiter$ something like "Text"  (A=a) 
; #PB_StringField_CSV         ; eg. String$ = "Text", 128, "A Text Line ", 0 => returns "Text" or "128" or "A Test Line "
; #PB_StringField_Trim        ; eg. String$ = Field 1  | Field 2  |      => returns "Field 1" or "Field 2"
; 
; #PB_StringField_SkipSQuote  ; eg. String$ = 'Text', 'A "Text" Line, cool ',  => returns "Text" or "A "Test" Line, cool "
; #PB_StringField_SkipDQuote  ; eg. String$ = "Text", "A Text Line, cool ",    => returns "Text" or "A Test Line, cool "

New Funtions based on StringField() for Integer results ...

Code: Select all

Result = StringFieldInteger(String$, Index, Delimiter$, DefaultValue) 
Result = StringFieldRangeInteger(String$, Index, Delimiter$, DefaultValue, MinValue, MaxValue) 

Extension of FindString() ... New Constants for Mode

Code: Select all

Position = FindString(String$, StringToFind$ [, StartPosition [, Mode]]) 
;
;  Old Mode (existing) 
;           #PB_String_CaseSensitive  .. case sensitive search (a=a) (default).
;           #PB_String_NoCase         .. Case insensitive search (A=a).
;
;  New Mode (extended) 
;           #PB_String_SkipSQuotes ..   skip single quotation marks 
;           #PB_String_SkipDQuotes ..   skip double quotation marks 
;
; Example 
;   String$ => Procedure TraceOut(ErrCode, Message$="; No Error")  ; VOID .. displays the message in Trace-Monitor 
; 
    result = FindString(String$, ";", 1, #PB_String_SkipDQuotes) 
    ; result = 53 

Then I could finally retire my self-made faulty functions.

There is the utf16 module with 2 variants
it does Ucase Lcase and Titlecase inplace
https://github.com/idle-PB/UTF16/blob/main/UTF16.pb

In version PB v6.40 Alpha there will be no string inplace. Has also been removed in ReplaceString.

I haven't downloaded that yet to be honest. In which case, it's a request to have it re-instated too then!

There is the utf16 module ... t does Ucase Lcase and Titlecase inplace

Useful to know, thanks!

They are large 5000 and 11000 loc for accent stripping version but it means you can support full unicode with simple or full casefolding string compares. And do left right mid on utf16 encoded strings.
