This is a collection of string functions that I've written for a stack that I'm developing. I thought it might be useful to some of you. The string functions are ordinary hypertalk functions, unlike XFCNs. To use it all you have to do is copy them from the script of this card to wherever you want to use them. The reason for writing this function was one of my hypercard projects that involved heavy text processing. I thought it would have been nice if I could use functions that I've already been familiar with in BASIC, even though BASIC is commonly thought of as an ungly language. Things like "left()", "right()", "mid()" or so useful to me that I simply cannot do without them. Other functions such as "noLeading()" and "noTrailing" are useful to me to process user inputs. Surely as time goes on I will write and use more text routines. I will pass them around, too, but right now this is all I have.
