[JEDI.NET discuss] New additions

[Marcel B. <mar...@xs...>]

Hi all,

     I've just added two new units and assemblies to CVS. One contains 
the StringUtils class with static methods to Quote/Dequote strings, 
expand tabs (using specified tabs and/or a tab width), repeat a 
specified string a number of times, remove duplicate characters (eg. 
'This\\Folder' will be converted to 'This\Folder'), retrieve sections of 
a string (all before a specific delimiter, all after a delimiter, the 
last n characters).

     The other unit contains the Path class with static methods to 
handle paths strings, like combining an absolute path with a relative 
one to get a new absolute path.

     With the exception of the tab expansions, all methods where 
developed using the test driven development technique. I wrote the test 
cases for tab expansions after I wrote the code (and managed to remove 
quite a number of bugs that hadn't been apparent in the 'test' 
application I had used them in earlier). I've used Nunit 2.2.1 and the 
test cases have been added to CVS as well (in the 'main\nunit' folder). 
Nunit should be installed if you want to use those and can be found at 
http://nunit.sourceforge.net.

     I intend on writing test cases for at least all non-visual stuff 
(as these are easier to test in code) and I expect test cases for any 
donation from now on.

     Any comment and/or suggestions welcome (really, I seem to be the 
only one posting here!).

     BTW, anyone here available to make a (simple) web site for this 
project? I would appreciate that.
