| EqualString | Compares two Pascal strings for equality, using the comparison rules of the Macintosh file system. This is a simple, character-by-character value comparison. |
| IdenticalString | Compares two Pascal strings for equality, making use of the string comparison information from a resource that you specify as a parameter. |
| IdenticalText | Compares two text strings for equality, making use of the string comparison information from a resource that you specify as a parameter. |
| NumToString | Converts a long integer value into a Pascal string. |
| StringToNum | Converts the Pascal string representation of a base-10 number into a long integer value. |
| ExtendedToString | Converts an internal floating-point representation of a number into a string that can be presented to the user, using a NumFormatStringRec structure to specify how the output number string is formatted |
| StringToExtended | Converts a string representation of a number into a floating-point number, using a NumFormatStringRec structure to specify how the input number string is formatted. |
| GetIndString | Loads a string from a string list ('STR#') resource into memory, given the resource ID of the string list and the index of the individual string. |
| GetString | Loads a string from a string ('STR ') resource into memory. |
| NewString | Allocates memory in the heap for a string, copies its contents, and produces a handle for the heap version of the string. |
| SetString | Changes the contents of a string referenced by a string handle, replacing the previous contents by copying the specified string. |
| LanguageOrder | Determines the order in which strings in two different languages should be sorted. |
| ScriptOrder | Determines the order in which strings in two different scripts should be sorted. |
| StringOrder | Compares two Pascal strings, taking into account the script system and language for each of the strings. |
| TextOrder | Compares two text strings, taking into account the script and language for each of the strings. |
| CompareString | Compares two Pascal strings, making use of the string comparison information from a resource that you specify as a parameter. |
| CompareText | Compares two text strings, making use of the string comparison information from a resource that you specify as a parameter. |
| RelString | Compares two Pascal strings using the string comparison rules of the Macintosh file system and returns a value that indicates the sorting order of the first string relative to the second string. |
| LowercaseText | Converts any uppercase characters in a text string into their lowercase equivalents. |
| UpperString | Converts any lowercase letters in a Pascal string to their uppercase equivalents, using the Macintosh file system rules. |
| UppercaseStripDiacritics | Converts any lowercase characters in a text string into their uppercase equivalents and strips any diacritical marks from the text. |
| UppercaseText | Converts any lowercase characters in a text string into their uppercase equivalents. |
| Munger | Searches text for a specified string pattern and replaces it with another string. |
| ReplaceText | Searches text on a character-by-character basis, replacing all instances of a string in that text with another string. |
| TruncString | Ensures that a Pascal string fits into the specified pixel width, by truncating the string as necessary. This function makes use of the current script and font. |
| TruncText | Ensures that a text string fits into the specified pixel width, by truncating the string as necessary. This function makes use of the current script and font. |
| FormatRecToString | Converts an internal representation of number formatting information into a number format specification string, which can be displayed and modified. |
| StringToFormatRec | Creates a number format specification string structure from a number format specification string that you supply in a Pascal string. |
| FindScriptRun | Finds the next block of subscript text within a script run. |
| FindWordBreaks | Determines the beginning and ending boundaries of a word in a text string. |
| StyledLineBreak | Returns the proper location to break a line of text, taking into account script and language considerations, making use of tables in the string-manipulation ('itl2') resource in its computations. |
