Very nice. Are you keeping this up to date there? Perhaps a link to this
reference should be included in the help

Yes. I am planning to keep this up-to-date.

 

I notice this:

> Finding string length

The mentioned functions (len(), strlen()) do not handle multibyte
characters, but return the byte-length, perhaps explicitly add
strwidth()

> Getting a substring

Again, using str[index] uses byte index, same for strpart, perhaps
mention strcharpart()

> Checking whether a string starts with or ends with a substring

Please use single quotes, so that if one adds other regular expression
atoms such as \+ or \d one do not have to double the backslashes. 

 

Thanks for the review comments. I have updated the gist with these comments.

Regards,

Yegappan
