bunches of string functions

what does all of this do?

[kunzite1]

adds functions to the string class of s2.

you can only define new functions in layout layers.

these are all global functions.

if you wanted to add them to the string class you would have to declare them like:
function string alter_entry(string original) : string {
}or
function string alter_entry() : string {
var string original = $this;
}depending on which version of the function you use you would call them as:
$e.text-or
$e.text->alter_entry();

I tried using the altered_entry function, but the code you have there didn't work, I had to change it to this:

function alter_entry(string original) : string {
var string find = "";
var string replace = "";
var string altered = "";

$find = "http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif";
$replace = "http://pics.livejournal.com/img/fb-userinfo.gif";
$altered = replace_text($original, $find, $replace);

return $altered;
}

Not sure if you'll see this, but is there an official story as to why the builtin striphtml is broken?

[kunzite1]

official? somewhere. here.
unofficial? never implemented.

same with alternate(string a, string b) that i could have used today.

This is in the description of one of the functions:

rehtml(string text) : string "Unescape html in \$text by replacing > with > and < with <."

Should probably be: < with > and > with >. It's repeated twice there.

yeah... i noticed that too and forgot to do something about it. :D

Sorry to bother you, but...

Is there a simple function for just checking whether a string contains a certain substring?

For example, say i want to check entries for img tags ("

<3 php.net
if($string->contains("

Oh, it's not likely that I'll come up with any nice functions on my own. This S2 stuff is out of my league.

I used what you listed to check for img tags and it works great. I've even got it checking for any instance of [info] with the img tags so that it will ignore lj-user tags.

Unfortunately, using foreach to go through and check the image dimensions is beyond me, so I'll just stick with my half-assed job.

Thanks for your help, though. It allowed me to do basically what I was trying to do.

could you show me how you use the code that i gave you?
i might be able to rig something to search for height and width and extract it.
then it would hopefully be able to be used for anything.

yay for getting it worked out. :)
