String defines several useful functions for string manipulation. The following list gives a short overview:

 * '''strip('''''string* pointer''''')''': Removes all whitespaces from a string. See ''getStripped'' for examples.
 * '''getStripped('''''string''''')''': Removes all whitespaces and returns the modified string.
  * Example: getStripped(" test abc\tabc test\nThis is a newline! ") = "testabcabctestThisisanewline!"

 * '''removeTrailingWhitespaces('''''string''''')''': Removes trailing whitespace and returns the modified string.
  * Example:
{{{
#!html
<span style="white-space:pre;">removeTrailingWhitespaces("    test      abc    ") = "test      abc"</span>
}}}

 * '''getNextQuote('''''string''''', '''''start''''')''': Returns the position of the next quote in the string, starting with start.
  * Examples:
   * getNextQuote("123\"567\"9", 0) = 4
   * getNextQuote("123\"567\"9", 4) = 4
   * getNextQuote("123\"567\"9", 6) = 8
   * getNextQuote("123\"567\"9", 9) = std::npos
 * '''isBetweenQuotes('''''string''''', '''''position''''')''': Returns true if ''position'' is between two quotes.
  * Examples:
   * isBetweenQuotes("123\"567\"9", 1) = false
   * isBetweenQuotes("123\"567\"9", 4) = false
   * isBetweenQuotes("123\"567\"9", 5) = true
   * isBetweenQuotes("123\"567\"9", 8'''''''''') = false
   * isBetweenQuotes("123\"567\"9", 9) = false

 * '''hasStringBetweenQuotes('''''string''''')''': Returns true if the string contains something like '..."between quotes"...'.
  * Examples:
   * hasStringBetweenQuotes("test") = false
   * hasStringBetweenQuotes("test\"abc") = false
   * hasStringBetweenQuotes("test\"abc\"") = true
 * '''getStringBetweenQuotes('''''string''''')''': If the string contains something like '..."between quotes"...' then 'between quotes' gets returned (without quotes).
  * Examples:
   * hasStringBetweenQuotes("test") = ""
   * hasStringBetweenQuotes("test\"abc") = ""
   * hasStringBetweenQuotes("test\"abc\"") = "abc"

 * '''stripEnclosingQuotes('''''string''''')''': Removes enclosing quotes if available (including whitespaces at the outside of the quotes).
  * Examples:
   * stripEnclosingQuotes(" \"hello!\" ") = "hello!"
   * stripEnclosingQuotes(" \"hello! ") = " \"hello! "
 * '''stripEnclosingBraces('''''string''''')''': Removes enclosing {braces} (braces must be exactly on the beginning and the end of the string).
  * Examples:
   * stripEnclosingBraces("{test}") = "test"
   * stripEnclosingBraces(" {test}") = " {test}"
   * stripEnclosingBraces("{ test }") = " test "

 * '''isEmpty('''''string''''')''': 
 * '''isComment('''''string''''')''': 
 * '''isNumeric('''''string''''')''': 

 * '''addSlashes('''''string''''')''': 
 * '''removeSlashes('''''string''''')''': 

 * '''lowercase('''''string* pointer''''')''': 
 * '''getLowercase('''''string''''')''': 

 * '''uppercase('''''string* pointer''''')''': 
 * '''getUppercase('''''string''''')''': 

 * '''nocaseCmp('''''string1''''', '''''string2''''')''': 
 * '''nocaseCmp('''''string1''''', '''''string2''''', '''''length''''')''': 

 * '''hasComment('''''string''''')''': 
 * '''getComment('''''string''''')''': 
 * '''getCommentPosition('''''string''''')''': 
 * '''getNextCommentPosition('''''string''''', '''''start''''')''':
