- StringOps 1.0.08 release notes
- (6/10/99)
- ==============================
-
- Bug fixes:
- * Fixed a big huge gaping bug in the GetDelimited(), StripDelimited(),
- StripPunctuation(), and StripSingle() functions which sometimes
- caused the OCX to get stuck in a loop, which prevented further use
- of the control and made it impossible to exit whatever program uses
- the control.
- * Changed the date specified for the previous release in version
- 1.0.07 release notes. There was a little typo that made it look like
- version 1.0.07 was released on May 17, 1997 rather than May 17,
- 1999. Heh, I must've been real tired when I wrote that.
- * As usual, did some minor code-tweaking here and there to speed some
- stuff up.
-
- Other stuff:
- I've been using StringOps extensively in various projects both for
- my own personal amusement and for very big important programs which
- I write for Intel Corporation. One of the programs I'm writing is an
- IRC-style client/server intranet chat application, which uses
- StringOps to do lots of string parsing for commands and stuff.
-
- Another application I'm building is an integrated development
- environment for a custom installation scripting language that Intel
- uses for some of its software products. We're basically writing an
- entire programming language from scratch here, and StringOps is what
- we use to do all the string parsing.
-
- This is just a quick little testomonial so you know that I actually
- do use this thing and I care very much about the quality and
- stability of this OCX. It also means that as I need to do new things
- I'll add new features to StringOps, so keep your eyes open.

- ==============================
- StringOps 1.0.07 release notes
- (5/17/99)
- ==============================
-
- Bug fixes:
- * Fixed bug in GetDelimited() that overwrote the supplied string with
- the resulting string -- this was a really stupid mistake on my part
- and I apologize for all the trouble this may have caused.
- * Fixed bug in GetAllAfter() that wouldn't properly handle a delimiter
- string longer than one character.
-
- Major changes:
- * Got rid of the progress bar. If you guys want a progress bar, you
- can do it yourselves -- it just slows things down way too much and
- adds too much extra code to the OCX to be useful.
- * Removed the SearchReplace() method. This method was redundant,
- because I just found out that VB6+ has a native function called
- Replace() that does an even better Search and Replace operation on
- strings.
- * Renamed the ReturnDelimited() method to GetDelimited(), which makes
- more sense. The old method still works though (that way your code
- won't all be broken).
- * Modified the GetDelimited() method to return a collection containing
- all instances of the delimited text rather than just a string
- containing the first instance. Old code will *not* work without
- modifications.
- * Reduced the Reverse() method down to only a few lines of code --
- much faster than before.
-
- Other stuff:
- The OCX is now 12Kb smaller than the previous version, and it's more
- stable than ever. I've run as many tests as I can think of to make
- this thing not work, and it seems to be rock solid. If you have any
- problems, please contact me at ryan@wonko.com.
