This library was originally meant to be vastly superior, faster, so on, to Deadron's TextHandling library. Unfortunately, in general usage, any kind of minor optimization I could do would just result in milliseconds of saved processing time. The end result was that this library provided what Deadron's does, optimized slightly (or in copytext's case, you might call it significant), and then a little bit more.
The full documentation can be found here and within the library.
r1
- trimWhitespace was not trimming the end of the supplied string.
r2
- Rewrote matchKeys and updated the comments for it.
r3
- Accidently left in reference to the global kText object when rewriting matchKeys.
r4
- autoComplete() was not searching in lists properly.
r5
- Renamed findTextOccurrence to findWhich, which is infinitely more intuitive.
r6
- Completely rewrote the documentation again.
- Finished all the functions to replicate Deadron's library.
- Library is mostly complete.
r8
- * Removed unused code again...
r9
- Added "find last" option to findWhich(). Supplying -1 to the "which" argument will search for the last occurrence of the substring.
I need to include this in the readme, still... I'm lazy.

| dd_centertext |
kText.padText |
kText.padText supports centering text using the PAD_BOTH option.
The syntax is kText.padText(string, length, PAD_BOTH, " "), compared to dd_centertext(string, length).
dd_centertext cuts off any text longer than the given length, which kText.padText does not, since I don't believe that is consistent with the intent behind an attempt to center/pad text. |
| dd_limittext |
kText.limitText |
Usage is 100% the same. |
