2.1.2 Character and String Manipulation
Functions
Name
Brief
Example
_stricmp
The _stricmp (alias stricmp) function compares lowercase versions of two character strings.
Examples
append_blanks_to_size
It appends the' ' characters to the string until its size reaches nSize.If the size of the string is bigger than nSize, the function will not append nor modify the original string.
Examples
check_convert_CR_str_to_CRLF
Convert all "\n" end-of-lines sequences to "\r\n" in a string.
Examples
count_list
Count a string list ,then construct a string vector and an appearance frequency vector for all duplicate occurences
Examples
find_any_of_characters_in_str
find any one of the specified characters in a string and return its pointer
Examples
find_end_char_number
Find the repeat appearance times of the end character at the end of a string.
Examples
find_in_list
Look for the given double or int value in list of numeric values
Examples
find_prefix_char_number
Find the repeat appearance times of the prefix character at the beginning of a string.
Examples
get_str_from_str_list
Get a specified index string from the string list separated by delimiter .
Examples
GetDecimalChar
GetDecimalChar is used to return the character used inside Origin for decimal in numbers
Examples
init_vector_string
initialize a string array, set the size as nSize, the value of all strings as strDefault.
Examples
is_good_C_identifier
Test if given string is a valid C or LabTalk compatible string to define a variable
Examples
is_good_C_identifier_ex
Test if given string is a valid C or LabTalk compatible string to define a variable
Examples
is_in_list
check and see if given string is in list
Examples
is_repeat_str
Get the repeat times of basic substring in a given string
Examples
is_str_has_path
Test the string to see if it begins with a file path, this function does not care whether the file exists or not.
Examples
is_str_has_space
Test a string to see if it has any white space character. Only ASCII space, CR and LF characters are tested but multibyte string can be supported.
Examples
is_str_match_begin
Check if a string begins with a particular string
Examples
is_str_match_begin_of_word
Check to see if a string is the start part of a word in a longer string
Examples
is_str_numeric
Check and convert a string to a double
Examples
is_str_numeric_integer
Check and convert a string to an integer
Examples
is_str_numeric_integer_with_args
Check and convert the substring before the separator token to an integer and return the remaining string
Examples
is_str_valid_file_path
Test a string to see if it is in correct form for a file name (full path) this function does not care whether the file existed or not
Examples
IsCharAlpha
This function determines whether a character is an alphabetic character.
Examples
lstrcat
The lstrcat (alias strcat) function append characters of a string.
Examples
lstrcmp
The lstrcmp (alias strcmp) function compares two character strings. The comparison is case sensitive.
Examples
lstrcmpi
The lstrcmpi (alias stricmp) function compares two character strings. The comparison is not case sensitive.
Examples
lstrcpy
The lstrcpy (alias strcpy) function copies a string to a buffer.
Examples
lstrcpyn
The lstrcpyn (alias strncpy) function copies a specified number of characters from a source string into a buffer.
Examples
lstrlen
The lstrlen (alias strlen) function returns the length of a string in bytes(not including the terminating null character).
Examples
memchr
Find a pointer to first occurrence of character.
Examples
memcmp
Compares characters between two buffers.
Examples
memcpy
Copy characters between buffers.
Examples
memmove
Move contents of one buffer to another.
Examples
memory_replace
Replace all occurances of certain characters in given buffer with a new character
Examples
memset
Set buffers to a specified character.
Examples

Examples
remove_repeat_item
Remove the repeat items in a string list
Examples
remove_str_from_str_list
Remove a specified string from the string list separated by delimiter.
Examples
