To be documented soon...

The number of Chinese characters contained in this string.

The number of Cyrillic characters contained in this string. The Cyrillic alphabet also called azbuka, from the old name of the first two letters) is actually a family of alphabets, subsets of which are used by certain East and South Slavic languages ” Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Rusyn, Serbian and Ukrainian”as well as many other languages of the former Soviet Union, Asia and Eastern Europe.

The number of Korean characters contained in this string.

The number of Latin characters contained in this string. Latin characters include all major Western European languages, such as German, Spanish, French, Italian, Nordic languages, etc.

Note: This is the number of chars that are Latin characters that do not fall in the us-ascii range. In other words, the 8bit Latin chars.

The number of Thai characters contained in this string.

The size, in bytes, of the ANSI encoding of the string.

The size, in bytes, of the utf-8 encoding of the string.

The string value of this object.

Returns the ASCII value of the Nth char in the string. The 1st char is at index 0.

The str is appended to end of this instance.

Appends a date/time string in RFC 3339 format to the end of this instance.

The dateTime is appended in RFC 822 format to the end of this instance.

Appends characters from an encoded string. The encoding may be base64, hex, url, or quoted-printable. For example, to append ABC 123 from a URL-encoded string, call:

strObj.AppendEncoded(ABC+123,url,iso-8859-1)

Appends the contents of the string to a file. The string is first converted to the character encoding specified by charsetEncoding before being appended to the file.

Returns 1 if the string begins with str. Otherwise returns 0. This method is case sensitive.

Truncates the string after the 1st occurrence of findStr. If findStr is not present, nothing is truncated.

Truncates the string before the 1st occurrence of findStr. If findStr is not present, nothing is truncated.

Clears the string. After calling this method, the string contains 0 characters.

Returns 1 if substr is present in the string (case sensitive), otherwise returns 0.

Returns 1 if the string ends with substr (case-sensitive). Otherwise returns 0.

Returns the character string in an encoding use the charsetEncoding specified. The binaryEncoding may be base64, hex, url, or quoted-printable. For example:

(Visual Basic 6.0)

Dim s As New CkString

s.Str = èèè
Text1.Text = s.GetEncoded(hex, iso-8859-1) & vbCrLf
Text1.Text = Text.Text & s.GetEncoded(hex, utf-8) & vbCrLf
Text1.Text = Text1.Text & s.GetEncoded(hex, unicode)

'Output:
'E8E8E8
'C3A8C3A8C3A8
'E800E800E800

Returns NULL on failure

Decodes any HTML entities found in the string.

HTML entity encodes all special characters. (Those characters that might require HTML entity encoding.)

Returns the ASCII value of the last character in the string.

Returns a string that is the leftmost numChars of this instance.

Returns NULL on failure

Returns the length, in characters, of the string.

Loads an entire text file into the string object. The character encoding of the text file is specified by charsetEncoding. This method allows for text files in any charset to be loaded: utf-8, Unicode, Shift_JIS, iso-8859-1, etc.

Returns 1 if the string matches the strPattern, which may contain one or more asterisk wildcard characters. Case-sensitivity is controlled by , where 1 = case sensitive, 0 = case insensitive.

Same as the VB/VBScript Mid function, except that the 1st char is at index 0 (i.e. it is not 1-based). Returns a substring of length numChars starting at index.

Returns NULL on failure

Converts the date string (in RFC 3339 format) to a Date type.

Converts the date string (in RFC 822 format) to a Date type.

Pluralizes an English word.

Prepends str to this instance.

In-place decodes the string from punycode.

In-place encodes the string to punycode.

Removes all occurrences of ch from the string.

Replaces all occurrences of findStr with replaceStr. (case sensitive)

Replaces all occurrences of findCh with replaceCh.

Replaces the first occurrence of findStr with replaceStr. (case sensitive)

Returns a string that is the rightmost numChars of this instance.

Returns NULL on failure

Saves the string to a file, using the character encoding specified by charsetEncoding. This method allows for the string to be saved using character encodings such as utf-8, Unicode, Shift-JIS, or anything else...

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Removes the final numChars from the string.

Lexicographically compares two strings. Returns 0 if both strings are equal. A value greater than zero indicates that the first character that does not match has a greater value in the caller's string than in str; And a value less than zero indicates the opposite.

Strips HTML tags from a string.

Converts all line endings to CRLF.

Converts all line endings to bare-LF (Unix/Linux style).

Trim SPACE and Tab characters from both ends of the string.

Trim SPACE, Tab, CR, and LF characters from both ends of the string.

Replaces all tabs, CR's, and LF's, with SPACE chars, and removes extra SPACE's so there are no occurrences of more than one SPACE char in a row.
