This page summarizes Working With
Strings tutorial. The procedures, functions, and keywords
implemented are organized into three tables: Intrinsic IDL Routines; Goddard Library Routines; and idlutils Routines. You should become familiar
and comfortable with the procedures and functions listed here by
reading the documentation. Functions are distinguished from
procedures by having parenthesis at the end. Note that some routines
not explicitly included in the tutorial have been added.
