Delete(S,Index,Count)

Delete removes a substring of Count characters from string S starting with S[Index]. S is a string-type variable. Index and Count are integer-type expressions. If index is larger than the length of the string or less than 1, no characters are deleted. If count specifies more characters than remain starting at the index, Delete removes the rest of the string. If count is less than or equal to 0, no characters are deleted

Insert(Substr,Dest,Index)

Insert merges Source into S at the position S[index]. Source is a string-type expression. S is a string-type variable of any length. Index is an integer-type expression. It is a character index and not a byte index. If Index is less than 1, it is mapped to a 1. If it is past the end of the string, it is set to the length of the string, turning the operation into an append. If the Source parameter is an empty string, Insert does nothing

ProperCase(S)

ProperCase returns string, with the first letter of each word in uppercase and all other letters in lowercase “proper case”→“Proper Case”

AnsiQuotedStr(S,Quote)

Use AnsiQuotedStr to convert a string (S) to a quoted string, using the provided Quote character. A Quote character is inserted at the beginning and end of S, and each Quote character in the string is doubled.

AnsiExtractQuotedStr(S,Quote)

AnsiExtractQuotedStr removes the quote characters from the beginning and end of a quoted string, and reduces pairs of quote characters within the string to a single quote character. The Quote parameter defines what character to use as a quote character. If the first character in S is not the value of the Quote parameter, AnsiExtractQuotedStr returns an empty string.

Copy(S,Index,Count)

S is an expression of a string or dynamic-array type. Index and Count are integer-type expressions. Copy returns a substring or sub array containing Count characters or elements starting at S[Index]. The substring or sub array is a unique copy (that is, it does not share memory with S, although if the elements of the array are pointers or objects, these are not copied as well.) If Index is larger than the length of S, Copy returns an empty string or array. If Count specifies more characters or array elements than are available, only the characters or elements from S[Index] to the end of S are returned.

About GUID

A globally unique identifier (GUID) is a unique reference number used as an identifier in computer software. The term GUID also is used for Microsoft's implementation of the Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) standard.

The value of a GUID is represented as a 32-character hexadecimal string, such as {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}, and is usually stored as a 128-bit integer. The total number of unique keys is 2128 or 3.4×1038. This number is so large that the probability of the same number being generated randomly twice is negligible

Log2 returns the log base 2 of X.

LogN(Base,X)

LogN returns the log base Base of X.

Power(Base,Exponent)

Power raises Base to any power. For fractional exponents or exponents greater than MaxInt, Base must be greater than 0.

RadToCycle(X)

Use RadToCycle to convert angles measured in radians into cycles, where cycles = radians/(2pi).

RadToDeg(X)

Use RadToDeg to convert angles measured in radians to degrees, where degrees = radians(180/pi).

RadToGrad(X)

Use RadToGrad to convert angles measured in radians to grads, where grads = radians(200/pi).

RandG(Mean,StdDev)

RandG produces random numbers with Gaussian distribution about the Mean. This is useful for simulating data with sampling errors and expected deviations from the Mean.

Sec(X)

Call Sec to obtain the secant of X, where X is an angle in radians. The secant is calculated using the formula 1 / Cos(X).

SecH(X)

Call SecH to obtain the hyperbolic secant of X, where X is an angle in Radians.

Sinh(X)

Sinh calculates the hyperbolic sine of X.

Tan(X)

Tan returns the tangent of X. Tan(X) = Sin(X) / Cos(X).

Tanh(X)

Tanh calculates the hyperbolic tangent of X.
