{
>> Version: 1.14
>> Description
Various string routines. Works with Win1251 Russian encoding. Part of InvLibs unit
collection.
>> Author
Peter Karpov
Email : [email protected]
Homepage : inversed.ru
GitHub : inversed-ru
Twitter : @inversed_ru
>> ToDo
- Procedures vs Functions: analyze actual usage to decide. Routines in question:
- LowerCase, UpperCase
- FilterChars, FilterCharsReplace
- Insert, Replace
- ReplaceControlChars, StripWhitespace, TrimWhitespace*, MergeSpaces
- PadLeft, PadRight
- Test the performance of new functions based on sets
- Optimize routines which appear to be bottlenecks in other programs
- Try to get rid of StrUtils, Math, SysUtils dependencies
- ReverseString
- Endline style detection, conversion
? Incorporate direction into GetPos (extra overloaded version)
>> Changelog
1.14 : 2019.03.10 * SeekChars and TrimWhitespace not working with empty strings
1.13 : 2017.12.05 ~ Changed SubstrCount and GetPos argument order for consistency
with other search and replace routines
~ SubstringAtPosition renamed to SubstrAtPos
~ EnforceDirSlash renamed to EnforceDirSep, now uses
platform-specific directory separator
~ Non-breaking space and soft hyphen added to Whitespace
+ NonWhitespace constant
~ SeekWhitespace, SeekNonWhitespace functions replaced by
SeekChars
~ Freepascal compatibility
1.12 : 2015.02.07 + IsUpperCase function
1.11 : 2014.09.24 ~ Renamed MergeMultipleSpaces to MergeSpaces
1.10 : 2014.08.21 + IsPrefix, IsSuffix functions
1.9 : 2013.10.21 + Contains function
1.8.2 : 2011.10.14 ~ Moved to generic types
1.8.1 : 2011.09.17 * FilterCharsReplace bug (inverted Reject option)
1.8 : 2011.08.07 ~ Split Format function into separate unit
1.7 : 2011.07.24 ~ Replaced FillCharacter with DupeString function
1.6 : 2011.05.15 + Boolean type support for Format function
1.5 : 2011.04.17 + ReplacePairs and SaveString functions
1.4 : 2011.03.20 * Sign formating in Format
+ SubstrCount function
* SameText
1.0 : 2011.03.16 ~ Overall reorganization, sectioning
~ Filtering and related routines use sets instead of tables
+ Format function
0.0 : 2010.05.05 + Initial version
Notation: + added, - removed, * fixed, ~ changed
