DESCRIPTION

30       The package textutil::string provides miscellaneous string manipulation
31       commands.
32
33       The complete set of procedures is described below.
34
35       ::textutil::string::chop string
36              A convenience command. Removes the last character of string  and
37              returns the shortened string.
38
39       ::textutil::string::tail string
40              A convenience command. Removes the first character of string and
41              returns the shortened string.
42
43       ::textutil::string::cap string
44              Capitalizes the first character of string and returns the  modi‐
45              fied string.
46
47       ::textutil::string::uncap string
48              The  complementary  operation to ::textutil::string::cap. Forces
49              the first character of string to lower case and returns the mod‐
50              ified string.
51
52       ::textutil::string::longestCommonPrefixList list
53
54       ::textutil::string::longestCommonPrefix ?string...?
55              Computes  the longest common prefix for either the strings given
56              to the command, or the strings specified in the single list, and
57              returns it as the result of the command.
58
59              If no strings were specified the result is the empty string.  If
60              only one string was specified, the string itself is returned, as
61              it is its own longest common prefix.
