lib-strings

A collection of string-handling routines (Shameless cut-n-paste from the library itself here). This library should be the third program installed on a new muck, (cmd-register and lib-glow-standard come first).

STRblank?	[ str -- bool ]	true if str is null or only spaces
STRsls	[ str -- str' ]	strip leading spaces
STRsts	[ str -- str' ]	strip trailing spaces
STRstrip	[ str -- str' ]	strip lead and trail spaces
STRsms	[ str -- str' ]	strips out mult. internal spaces
STRsplit	[ str delim -- prestr postr ]	splits str on first delim.
STRrsplit	[ str delim -- prestr postr ]	splits str on last delim.
STRsplitargs	[ str -- str str ]	split a string at first space or = sign
STRfillfield	[ str char width -- padstr ]	return padding string to width chars. (I think this one is miss-named, since it doesn't actually pad the field, you have add a final strcat to do that, although it does allow you to control easily where the padding goes: strcat for the end, swap strcat for the beginning.
STRcenter	[ str width -- str' ]	center a string in a field.
STRleft	[ str width -- str' ]	pad string w/ spaces to width chars
STRright	[ str width -- str' ]	right justify string to width chars
STRasc	[ char -- i ]	convert character to ASCII number
STRchr	[ i -- char ]	convert number to character
STRparse	[ str -- str1 str2 str3 ]	This routine is useful for parsing command line input: " #X Y y = Z" -> "X" "Y y" " Z"
