Another two-liner, which sometimes comes in handy, is bloating your string: add before and after each character a specified string, like `, `n or |.

@Laszlo, the 'Bloat' feature looks cool; I don't know where I could use it but I added it's functionality in StringMod(). I also added the 'Pattern' feature - Goyyah can explain that

Haven't read this long thread but why not adding a replace mode that lets you replace one word or all occurences of a word inside a string.

I made s.th like this some time ago:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5365

Syntax might be s.th. like:
StringMod(String,"Replace","Word", "All")

Just a rough idea. Sorry if this has been proposed already.

Dear AGU,

Thanks for the suggestion.

StringMod() uses a parsing loop , and charactersers are processed one by one.
Maybe Titan will give it a try,

Thanks for posting the link. * I think this post can be a one stop resource for String Manipulation. I may collect all such useful string functions found everywhere and post it on the first post.

I encourage others to post their String Manipulation Functions here

Cheers,

Pattern is useful for breaking simple substitution ciphers: In the (long enough) encrypted text, the frequencies of the letters are roughly the same as the frequencies of the letters in the used language. If you want to check anagrams, sorting the letters are simpler.

Dear Laszlo,

I thank you for your analysis on Pattern().

Titan had already adapted Pattern() into StringMod() which is similar to your following version:

Dear Titan,

I am writing Hangman game in which I use your StringMod.ahk unmodified, by including the following line

#Include StringMod.ahk

at the bottom of my script.

The #NoTrayIcon in StringMod.ahk is making my script's icon disappear from the taskbar.
I would be glad if you can make changes such a way that your script uses #NoTrayIcon
only when run as a standalone.

I thought of suggesting :

Hello Goyyah,

The script I uploaded contained a sort of introduction message box for those who where unaware of it's uses. If you want to use the function you'll have to extract the function only which is the line starting with 'StringMod(...' up until it's closing brace '}'.

Dear Titan,

I am going to post only Hangman.ahk (and may be words.db).
Anybody want to use it will have download your StringMod.ahk

Even if I include your StringMod.ahk in the zip, any future changes to it will not be incorporated properly.

So I am planning to use in my code:

[polyethene]

Okay, it's safe for you to download that file and use it as an include now

Dear Friends,

I had a requirement to chop a large HexString into manageable slices.
See my post @ Ask for Help Topic: How do I create a Binary file {Bitmap Image} with AHK Code?
I wrote function StringSlice() for BIN2AHK - Binary to AHK Code which does it and I am sharing it here.

I will feel glad if somebody optimises it..

Thank you all - Regards,

Looks like a complete rewriting...
I would use k := StrLen(String) // n, but it is probably a matter of taste/habits. Same for index, I would have written (A_Index - 1) * n + 1, showing better the logic (IMHO).
And using SetEnv to avoid having two lines is a bit less readable.
But overall, code is very clever, and the idea is a good one. I regretted sometime that Loop Parse didn't has such functionnality, now we have it...
