- ::textutil::string::uncap string
- The complementary operation to ::textutil::string::cap. Forces the first character of string to lower case and returns the modified string.
- ::textutil::string::longestCommonPrefixList list
- ::textutil::string::longestCommonPrefix ?string...?
-
Computes the longest common prefix for either the strings given
to the command, or the strings specified in the single list, and
returns it as the result of the command.
If no strings were specified the result is the empty string. If only one string was specified, the string itself is returned, as it is its own longest common prefix.
