 14// Function: substr()
 15// Usage:
 16//   newstr = substr(str, [pos], [len]);
 17// Description:
 18//   Returns a substring from a string start at position `pos` with length `len`, or 
 19//   if `len` isn't given, the rest of the string.  
 20// Arguments:
 21//   str = string to operate on
 22//   pos = starting index of substring, or vector of first and last position.  Default: 0
 23//   len = length of substring, or omit it to get the rest of the string.  If len is zero or less then the emptry string is returned.  
 24// Example:
 25//   substr("abcdefg",3,3);     // Returns "def"
 26//   substr("abcdefg",2);       // Returns "cdefg"
 27//   substr("abcdefg",len=3);   // Returns "abc"

 43// Description:
 44//   Returns the last `len` characters from the input string `str`.
 45//   If `len` is longer than the length of `str`, then the entirety of `str` is returned.

 56
 57// Function: str_find()
 58// Usage:
 59//   ind = str_find(str,pattern,[last=],[all=],[start=]);
 60// Description:
 61//   Searches input string `str` for the string `pattern` and returns the index or indices of the matches in `str`.
 62//   By default `str_find()` returns the index of the first match in `str`.  If `last` is true then it returns the index of the last match.
 63//   If the pattern is the empty string the first match is at zero and the last match is the last character of the `str`.
 64//   If `start` is set then the search begins at index start, working either forward and backward from that position.  If you set `start`
 65//   and `last` is true then the search will find the pattern if it begins at index `start`.  If no match exists, returns `undef`.
 66//   If you set `all` to true then `str_find()` returns all of the matches in a list, or an empty list if there are no matches.
 67// Arguments:
 68//   str = String to search.
 69//   pattern = string pattern to search for
 70//   ---
 71//   last = set to true to return the last match. Default: false
 72//   all = set to true to return all matches as a list.  Overrides last.  Default: false  
 73//   start = index where the search starts
 74// Example:

114//   Returns true if the string `pattern` matches the string `str` starting
115//   at `str[start]`.  If the string is too short for the pattern, or
116//   `start` is out of bounds---either negative or beyond the end of the

183//   then no empty strings are included in the output list.
184//   .
185//   If sep is a single string then each character in sep is treated as a delimiting character and the input string is

187//   If sep is a list of strings then the input string is split sequentially using each string from the list in order.

441//   Converts a string fraction to a floating point number.  A string fraction has the form `[-][# ][#/#]` where each `#` is one or more of the
442//   digits 0-9, and there is an optional sign character at the beginning. 
443//   The full form is a sign character and an integer, followed by exactly one space, followed by two more
444//   integers separated by a "/" character.  The leading integer and 
445//   space can be omitted or the trailing fractional part can be omitted.  If you set `mixed` to false then the leading integer part is not
446//   accepted and the input must include a slash.  If you set `improper` to false then the fractional part must be a proper fraction, where
447//   the numerator is smaller than the denominator.  If you set `signed` to false then the leading sign character is not permitted.
448//   The empty string evaluates to zero.  Any invalid string evaluates to NaN.

664//   - A leading `{` character to show the start of the placeholder.
665//   - An integer index into the `vals` list to specify which value should be formatted at that place. If not given, the first placeholder will use index `0`, the second will use index `1`, etc.
666//   - An optional `:` separator to indicate that what follows if a formatting specifier.  If not given, no formatting info follows.
667//   - An optional `-` character to indicate that the value should be left justified if the value needs field width padding.  If not given, right justification is used.
668//   - An optional `0` character to indicate that the field should be padded with `0`s.  If not given, spaces will be used for padding.
669//   - An optional integer field width, which the value should be padded to.  If not given, no padding will be performed.
670//   - An optional `.` followed by an integer precision length, for specifying how many digits to display in numeric formats.  If not give, 6 digits is assumed.
671//   - An optional letter to indicate the formatting style to use.  If not given, `s` is assumed, which will do it's generic best to format any data type.
672//   - A trailing `}` character to show the end of the placeholder.

674//   Formatting styles, and their effects are as follows:
675//   - `s`: Converts the value to a string with `str()` to display.  This is very generic.
676//   - `i` or `d`: Formats numeric values as integers.
677//   - `f`: Formats numeric values with the precision number of digits after the decimal point.  NaN and Inf are shown as `nan` and `inf`.
678//   - `F`: Formats numeric values with the precision number of digits after the decimal point.  NaN and Inf are shown as `NAN` and `INF`.
679//   - `g`: Formats numeric values with the precision number of total significant digits.  NaN and Inf are shown as `nan` and `inf`.  Mantissas are demarked by `e`.
680//   - `G`: Formats numeric values with the precision number of total significant digits.  NaN and Inf are shown as `NAN` and `INF`.  Mantissas are demarked by `E`.
681//   - `b`: If the value logically evaluates as true, it shows as `true`, otherwise `false`.
