Modifying Strings - tolower, toupper, trim, format
These are the commands which modify a string. Note that none of these modify the string in place. In all cases a new string is returned.
string tolower string </dt>
- ''
- Returns string with all the letters converted from upper to lower case.
string toupper string </dt>
- ''
- Returns string with all the letters converted from lower to upper case.
string trim string ?trimChars?
- ''
- Returns string with all occurrences of trimChars removed from both ends. By default trimChars are whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines). Note that the characters are not treated as a "block" of characters - in other words, string trim "davidw" dw would return the string avi and not davi.
string trimleft string ?trimChars? </dt>
- ''
- Returns string with all occurrences of trimChars removed from the left. By default trimChars are whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines)
string trimright string ?trimChars? </dt>

format formatString ?arg1 arg2 ... argN? </dt>
