Re: Str-Kat
I've been reading this string thread and I'm quite astonished because of two
simple facts.
Strings are just data and we are supposed to be programmers.
There are different types of strings of course, like BSTRings, unicode strings
and every C programmers favorite, null terminated strings. All of these
strings are referenced by address via pointer. The last fact is we already
have a euphoria word that produces a string...
allocate_string. Perhapa this needs to be promoted into the core, but we
have it already. I reiterate, we are programmers. We are free to manipulate
such strings in any way a programmer can, which is to say any way at all.
Limited only by the programmers imagination. So where is the problem?
Unicode, same deal. There may be a lot of things that are difficult for
programmers to do mainly because of undocumented interfaces, but manipulation
of data should not be one of them.
Are we not all programmers? Stand up and be counted.
