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.
