The package textutil::string provides miscellaneous string
    manipulation commands.


The complete set of procedures is described below.



  
::textutil::string::chop string

  
A convenience command. Removes the last character of string and
      returns the shortened string.

  
::textutil::string::tail string

  
A convenience command. Removes the first character of string and
      returns the shortened string.

  
::textutil::string::cap string

  
Capitalizes the first character of string and returns the modified
      string.

  
::textutil::string::capEachWord string

  
Capitalizes the first character of word of the string and returns
      the modified string. Words quoted with either backslash or dollar-sign are
      left untouched.

  
::textutil::string::uncap string

  
The complementary operation to ::textutil::string::cap. Forces the
      first character of string to lower case and returns the modified
      string.

  
::textutil::string::longestCommonPrefixList list

  

  
::textutil::string::longestCommonPrefix ?string...?

  
Computes the longest common prefix for either the strings given to
      the command, or the strings specified in the single list, and
      returns it as the result of the command.
    
If no strings were specified the result is the empty string.
        If only one string was specified, the string itself is returned, as it
        is its own longest common prefix.
