Declarations Section

Character Counts To Variant Vector Function

Fill the elements of an Integer array so that they each represent the number of occurrences of the character with that ASCII value in string vString.

Characters Not In String Function

Return a string containing the characters with ASCII values from 0 (zero) through 255 that do not appear in string vValue.

Difference Characters Function

Return a string containing all of the unique characters in vStringOne which are not in vStringTwo. Each unique character in string vStringOne will appear at most once within the result string. Relational difference operation on characters in a string.

Integer Vector To String Asc Function

"Integer Vector To String ASCII" Turns a one-dimensional array of Integers representing characters into a character string.

Intersect Characters Function

Return a string containing the characters that two strings have in common. Each unique character which appears in both vStringOne and vStringTwo will appear once within the result string. Relational intersect operation on the characters in a string.

Inverse Permutation Function

Create the inverse permutation of the characters within a string.

Join String Characters Function

Form a string whose character pairs represent the Cartesian product of the characters from two string. Relational Cartesian product operation except that duplicates are not eliminated. A pair of characters is formed by joining each character in string vOne with each character in vTwo.

Keep Characters Function

Return a string containing all of the characters in vLine that also appear in vKeepChars. This is the opposite of the StripCharacters function.

Keep Range Of Characters Function

Returns the characters in string vValue whose ASCII values fall within the specific range.

Max Asc Function

"Maximum ASCII" Return the maximum ASCII value of the characters within a string.

Min Asc Function

"Minimum ASCII" Return the minimum ASCII value of the characters within a string.

Shuffle String Function

Shuffle the characters within a string. Randomly rearranges the characters within the string.

Sort Characters Function

Sorts the characters in a string using some specific collating sequence. Result string will contain all of the characters from string vValue, NOT just the unique ones. Usually slower than the SortCharactersBinary function which sorts based on the ASCII value of each character.

Sort Characters Benchmark Sub

Test the SortCharactersBenchmark function.

Sort Characters Binary Function

Sort the characters in a string according to their ASCII values. Result string will contain all of the characters from string vValue, NOT just the unique ones.

Sort Characters By Frequency Function

Sorts the characters in a string based upon the descending frequency of those characters. Result string will contain all of the characters from string vValue, NOT just the unique ones. The sort is stable so that if characters have the same frequency, then they are listed in the same order in which they appeared within the input string.

Sort Used Characters Function

Return a string containing each of the unique characters present in the input string. Characters are returned in sorted order, and each character will appear at most once. This function uses Binary sorting order, because of the algorithm.

String Asc To Integer Vector Function

"String ASCII To Integer Vector" Place the Asc value of the characters of a string into the elements of an integer array. This is the opposite of the IntegerVectorToStringAsc function.

Strip Characters Function

Strip characters out of a string wherever they occur. This is similar to the KeepCharacters function, except that KeepCharacters requires the list of characters to be kept instead of the ones to be removed.

Strip Range Of Characters Function

Returns the string vValue except for the characters whose ASCII values fall within a specific range.

Unique Characters Function

Quashes all repeated runs of a character to a single character.

Used Characters Function

Return a string containing the uniquely-occurring characters within a string. Characters are returned in the order in which they appear in string vValue; they are NOT returned in sorted order.
