Text Utilities are an integrated API for performing a variety of operations on text, ranging from sorting strings to finding word boundaries. Text Utilities work in conjunction with the Macintosh script management system and can take into account the differences in text-handling among script systems. If you use the Text Utilities, you can handle text operations in a manner that is transportable to different parts of the world.
