DESCRIPTION

The package textutil provides commands that manipulate strings or texts (a.k.a. long strings or string with embedded newlines or paragraphs). It is actually a bundle providing the commands of the six packages

in the namespace textutil.

The bundle is deprecated, and it will be removed in a future release of Tcllib, after the next release. It is recommended to use the relevant sub packages instead for whatever functionality is needed by the using package or application.

The complete set of procedures is described below.

Bugs, Ideas, Feedback
