Hi,
in the current GPC version, I've included a StringUtils unit for general string handling routines (on a higher level than the built-in and RTS routines).
Up to now, it only contains routines for a string hash table, but I'm planning to add some more routines. Perhaps some of you also have some routines to contribute (or features to request). Conditions for inclusion into this unit should be, IMHO:
- Generally useful (not meant specifically for a certain program or something),
- self-contained (not relying on an external library etc.),
- new functionality compared to the existing routines (whereas the same or similar functionality under a different interface for compatibility purposes should go into other units, like GPCUtil for compatibility to `Turbo Power' units),
- and, of course, compilable with the current GPC version, portable, bug-free, etc. ;-)
The same goes for the FileUtils unit which has been there for some months already.
