Nearly any change one might contemplate for a string can be made with one,
or a combination of these functions, or one of the closely-allied
 word manipulation functions . They'll cut chunks out of a string --
LEFT(), RIGHT(), SUBSTR(), DELSTR(); or remove only certain characters --
STRIP(), TRIM(), COMPRESS(); or add to the string -- OVERLAY(), INSERT(),
COPIES(), CENTER(); or transform it in subtle and wonderful ways --
TRANSLATE(), REVERSE().
