Perl Miscellaneous String Functions not explicitly provided.
To use the PTools::String module, you can simply include it in your Perl code using the "use PTools::String;" statement. From there, you can create a new PTools::String object and start using the various functions it provides.
One of the features of the PTools::String module is the ability to add commas to a large number using the "addCommasToNumber" function. This function can be useful when you want to display a large number in a more readable format.
Another function that is provided by the PTools::String module is "centerInBuffer". This function allows you to center a string in a buffer of a specified length. With the "justifyRight" function, you can easily justify text to the right. There is also a function called "justifyListRight" that can be used to justify text that is stored in an array.
The PTools::String module also includes functions for manipulating strings in various ways. The "initialCaps" function can be used to capitalize the first letter of a string, while the "stripExtraWhiteSpace" function can be used to remove any extra whitespace from a string. The "stripLeftWhiteSpace" and "stripRightWhiteSpace" functions are similar to "stripExtraWhiteSpace", but they only remove whitespace from the left and right sides of the string, respectively.
Other features of the PTools::String module include the ability to convert a value to zero using the "zero" function, pluralize a word using the "plural" function, and prompt for input using the "prompt" function. Additionally, the "untaint" function can be used to remove potentially unsafe characters from a string.
Overall, the PTools::String module provides a range of powerful and useful functions for manipulating strings in Perl. If you frequently work with strings in your Perl code, this module is definitely worth checking out.
