The package provides a large and sundry set of macros for the
|
|
manipulation of strings. The macros are developed not merely
|
|
for cosmetic application (such as changing the case of letters
|
|
and string substitution), but also for programming applications
|
|
such as character look-ahead, argument parsing, conditional
|
|
tests on various string conditions, etc. The macros were
|
|
designed all to be expandable (note that things such as
|
|
\uppercase and \lowercase are not expandable), so that the
|
|
macros may be strung together sequentially and nested (after a
|
|
fashion) to achieve rather complex manipulations.
