Description
To provide better support for strings, the Fortran Standard Library (stdlib) introduces stdlib_string_type, stdlib_strings and stdlib_stringlist module.
Since the start of the project, several string inquiry and manipulation procedures like pad, find, replace-all, etc have been added, adhering to the philosophy of unifying the community and providing simple and intuitive abstraction to the users.
Every type of usage from common ones like reversing a string to peculiar ones like finding n-th non-overlapping substring are developed in close collaboration with the community.
Flexible high-level procedures like slice cater to every possible need while low-level APIs like count are optimized to readily build upon (as stand-alone or in combination with other provided APIs) to meet any specific requirement of a user.
All procedures work with deferred-length intrinsic character as smoothly as with string-type. This allows for a seamless integration of stdlib's string processing with the existing projects. Moreover, APIs being backward compatible will continue to serve old projects even with their latest versions.
