Code example:

# build and print string
cities_str := "\t\tNapa,";
cities_str += "Fremont,";
cities_str += "Alameda,";
cities_str += "Berkeley,";
cities_str += "Fremont,";
cities_str += "San Carlos,";
cities_str += "Milpitas,  ";
cities_str->PrintLine();

# show the string size
cities_str->Size()->PrintLine();

# trim string
cities_str := cities_str->Trim();
cities_str->Size()->PrintLine();

# replace city
cities_str := cities_str->Replace("San Carlos", "Oakland");
cities_str->PrintLine();

# create a substring
start := cities_str->Find("Berkeley");
if(<>start->IsNeg()) {
   end := cities_str->Find(start, ',');
   if(<>end->IsNeg()) {
      city := cities_str->SubString(start, end - start);
      "They city found was {$city}"->PrintLine();
   }
};

# remove ending comma
cities_str->Pop();

# split string and print values
cities := cities_str->Split(',');
cities->Size()->PrintLine();

# iterate over cities
each(city := cities) {
   city->PrintLine();
};

# iterate over cities with an index
each(i : cities) {
   city := cities[i];
   "{$i}: |{$city}|"->PrintLine();
};
