Announcement text:
package xstring update version v1.4 2008/11/04 This package does not require LaTeX (but eTeX is required). Consequently, the xstring.tex file should be installed in the tex/ subtree. =========== Changes =========== * from this version, arguments can be (La)TeX code, i.e chars, control sequences, groups between braces, and tokens with other catcodes (excepted catcode 6 and 14). New code for almost all macros. * New expansion mode : \expandarg The first token of each argument is expanded one time, then the macro is called. * many corrections in the manual.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/xstring . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/xstring (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Xstring – String manipulation for (La)TeX
The package provides macros for manipulating strings – testing a string’s contents, extracting substrings, substitution of substrings and providing numbers such as string length, position of, or number of recurrences of, a substring.
The package works equally in Plain TeX and LaTeX (though ε-TeX is always required). The strings to be processed may contain (expandable) macros.
