The Vermont Views library contains many string utilities to assist in editing and data-entry tasks. Table 49.1 lists the tasks for which string functions are provided and what string function to use for that task. Table 49.2 lists the functions that work on characters. For more detailed information about these functions, refer to their function reference pages in the Function Reference.
Note: You may notice that some of these functions are already provided for in the standard library of your compiler. Unfortunately, all the compilers in the different operating systems that Vermont Views works under do not equally support the ANSI standard library. To ensure complete portability across all operating systems and compilers, Vermont Views internally uses its own string functions. When a string function is equally supported across all systems, it is dropped from the library.
