What + * I tried to do with this class is provide an easy way to + * cut/slice/splice words inside sentences in whatever order desired. + * While the main focus of this class are words (ie characters + * separated by spaces/tabs), the two core functions here ( split() + * and join() ) will function given any char to use as a separator. + * This will make it easy to redefine what a 'word' means in the + * future if needed. + * + * I freely stole some of the function names from python. I also think + * some of these were influenced by mIRC (yes, believe it if you will, I + * used to write a LOT of scripts in mIRC). + * + * The ranges are a fairly powerful way of getting/stripping words from + * a string. These ranges function, for the large part, as they would in + * python. See the word(const TQString&, const char *) and remword(const TQString&, uint) functions for more detail. + * + * This class contains no data members of its own.
