Template talk:Strings

related tasks concerning (character) strings

Many Rosetta Code tasks deal with   (character)   strings,   whether that includes character strings that happen to be numeric   (that is, decimal digits, or possibly in other bases).

I tried to include Rosetta Code tasks that deal with character strings that included numeric digits,   even though some   (or maybe most)   Rosetta Code language examples/entries may have elected to treat/handle the character string as numeric digits   (i.e., as a number).   The inclusion should probably include sequences that are, in fact, sequences of various flavors of character strings, whether or not most of the strings deal with the numeric part of a string.  

Two related tasks for the   strings template   could be:

•   four is magic
•   four is the number of letters in the ....

Another class of related tasks would be various forms of encryption/decryption and encoding/decoding.     -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 22:48, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

I think it looks better without the ; on each sub-heading, but I'll not argue about it. --Pete Lomax (talk) 13:26, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

I think you are right. Removed. --Thundergnat (talk) 13:35, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Range_modifications possibly, in Remove / replace, maybe? --Pete Lomax (talk) 23:01, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

I think we need a new section for "Tedious, pointless, and unimaginative dictionary tasks"... --Pete Lomax (talk) 19:55, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
