Strings

Here are issues dealing with handling character strings. Handling textual information is a fundamentally important concept in computer programming. Don’t let the section name limit you though! Many of the concepts discussed in Strings can be used for any sequence type.

S T R I N G S		A R R A Y S
Split a string?		`sizeof()` doesn’t work on arrays!
Parse CSV data?		Determine the dimension(s) of my array?
Parse XML data?		Pass my (N-dimensional) array to a function?
C-strings and pointers?		Pass any (N-dimensional) array to a single function?
`strtok()`!
`toupper()` or `tolower()` a string?		S E Q U E N C I N G
Compare strings without case-sensitivity?		Sort stuff?
`trim()` a string?		Sort stuff myself?
Use strings in a `switch` statement?		Reverse a string/array/etc?
