package xstring update version v1.3 2008/09/21 This package does not require LaTeX (but eTeX is required). Consequently, the xstring.tex file should be installed in the tex/ subtree. =========== Changes =========== * New macros : \IfStrEqCase and \IfEqCase These macros test if a string matches several other strings, with a specific code for each case and an optional alternative code if all test fail. * New macro : \StrSplit Split a string after n characters. * New macro : \StrCompare Compare 2 strings (2 tolerances possible, see manual). If the strings are equal, returns 0. If not, returns the position of the first difference. * Code improvement

xstring – String manipulation for

The package provides macros for manipulating strings — testing a string’s contents, extracting substrings, substitution of substrings and providing numbers such as string length, position of, or number of recurrences of, a substring.

The package works equally in Plain and (though e- is always required). The strings to be processed may contain (expandable) macros.
