Description

Every now and then we cant have nice data structures, so here are some handy functions to help with dealing with data with existing apis. All the functions require that they return a string that it is free'd using ffree().

group attributes ferite_lowercase() - Convert a string to lowercase ferite_strip_whitespace() - Create a new string based upon the data with the whitespace removed ferite_find_string() - Find a substring within a string and return the first occurance ferite_copy_string() - Copy a subsection of a string ferite_delete_string() - Cuts out a substring starting at "start" up to but not including "end" ferite_insert_string() - Insert a string within another string at a specified position ferite_replace_string() - Replace all occurances of a pattern in a string with another fstrdup() - Allocate the memory and copy the string

Functions

function ferite_lowercase Convert a string to lowercase Declaration:     char *ferite_lowercase( char *str ) Parameters:     Parameter #1: char *str - The string to convert Returns:     A new string that is a lowercase version of the passed string

function ferite_strip_whitespace Create a new string based upon the data with the whitespace removed Declaration:     char *ferite_strip_whitespace( char *str ) Description: This function will remove whitespace but not from within quotes Parameters:     Parameter #1: char *str - The string to remove the whitespace from Returns:     A new string without whitespace

function ferite_copy_string Copy a subsection of a string Declaration:     char *ferite_copy_string( char *str, int start, int end ) Parameters:     Parameter #1: char *str - The string to copy from     Parameter #2: int start - The start of the subsection     Parameter #3: int end - The end of the subsection Returns:     A string containing the data between the two bounds

function ferite_delete_string Cuts out a substring starting at "start" up to but not including "end" Declaration:     char *ferite_delete_string( char *str, int start, int end ) Parameters:     Parameter #1: int start - The start of the substring     Parameter #2: int end - The end of the substring Returns:     The string without the substring

function ferite_insert_string Insert a string within another string at a specified position Declaration:     char *ferite_insert_string( char *str, char *istr, int pos ) Parameters:     Parameter #1: char *str - The string to insert into     Parameter #2: char *istr - The string to insert     Parameter #3: int pos - The position to insert at Returns:     A new string

function ferite_replace_string Replace all occurances of a pattern in a string with another Declaration:     char *ferite_replace_string( char *str, char *pattern, char *data ) Parameters:     Parameter #1: char *str - The string to scan     Parameter #2: char *pattern - The pattern to look for     Parameter #3: char *datat - The data to replace with Returns:     A string that has had the replacements

function fstrdup Allocate the memory and copy the string Declaration:     char *fstrdup( char *str ) Parameters:     Parameter #1: char *str - The string to copy Returns:     The copied string
