SubStrings, a better way to deal with C strings

SubStrings is a small, platform independent, ANSI C library for manipulating C strings.

Features of SubStrings:


  • Supports safe concatenation and copy operations with predictable behaviour
    • 

  • Provides functions usually attributed to higher level languages, such as EndsWith(), StartsWith(), Strip(), Replace() and more.
    • 

  • Makes processing multi-line strings easy with the SubStrings.Line functions
    • 

  • Excellent for nibble parsing
    • 

  • Works in non-hosted/freestanding implementations; no need for the standard library/libc.
    • 

  • Standards compliant ANSI C/C89
    • 

  • Easy to add it to your source tree; no need to add a dependency. This is encouraged.

I wrote SubStrings because all/most of the other string libs for C either suck, try to reinvent the string, or both.
I didn't have a problem with C strings, just the functions that process them.

No documentation is available yet, but that will soon change.

SubStrings is in a somewhat unstable state, but it's good enough for me.
