I am in the later stages of completing a new STRINGS.H.
New functionality/changes are shown below:
LEN_SW – publish this to the help file. You have added this function but it is not in the help
file. This is a software implementation.
LEN – publish this to the help file. You have added this function but it is not in the help
file. This is a compiler implementation - this will be faster (this code will not be included in this release).
TRIM – New method out and publish this to the help file.
LTRIM – New method out and publish this to the help file.
RTRIM – sort this method out and publish this to the help file.
ASC – new method for ASCII value of string character and publish this to the help file.
CHR – new method for string value of byte value and publish this to the help file.
I need a few willing persons to test the new code. Please reply to this posting if you are willing to assist next week.
I will delete this posting once we have the testing completed. Expect a few more postings like to get a little more testing completed.

New functionality/changes are shown below:
LEN – length of a string. This a numeric function. LEN (string) returns a numeric value of the length of the string.
TRIM – trim a string. This a string function. TRIM(string) returns a string value with white spaces removed from both ends of the string.
LTRIM – left trim a string. This a string function. LTRIM(string) returns a string value with the left hand spaces removed.
RTRIM – right trim a string. This a string function. RTRIM(string) returns a string value with the right hand space removed.
ASC – ASCII value of string character.This a numeric function. ASC(string) returns a numeric value of the first character or ASC(string, pos) returns the numeric value of character within a string at pos (position), where pos is optional. Converts character with string to a ASCII number.
CHR – String of a byte value. This a string function. CHR ( number) returns a string value of the numeric as a string. Converts ASCII number to character string.

I want to clarify.... I have been asked a question via a private message.
These changes are intended to be included in future releases and these updates are part of the development program which Hugh is leading.
Anyone willing to help? Please drop me an email.

See https://sourceforge.net/p/gcbasic/code/HEAD/tree/GCBASIC/trunk/include/lowlevel/string.h for a revised string.h
New functionality/changes are shown below:
LEN – length of a string. This a numeric function. LEN (string) returns a numeric value of the length of the string.
TRIM – trim a string. This a string function. TRIM(string) returns a string value with white spaces removed from both ends of the string.
LTRIM – left trim a string. This a string function. LTRIM(string) returns a string value with the left hand spaces removed.
RTRIM – right trim a string. This a string function. RTRIM(string) returns a string value with the right hand space removed.
ASC – ASCII value of string character.This a numeric function. ASC(string) returns a numeric value of the first character or ASC(string, pos) returns the numeric value of character within a string at pos (position), where pos is optional. Converts character with string to a ASCII number.
CHR – String of a byte value. This a string function. CHR ( number) returns a string value of the numeric as a string. Converts ASCII number to character string.
Code I used to test the new functions is attached. It is not really that well documented but it works.
I will update help files asap.
