I was tired of re-implementing the same missing functionality over and over again, so I decided to put it in an easy to use, header only C++ 11 std::string utility library called strutil.

Link to the project’s repository can be found in the Projects page. So feel free to grab the header file and include it in your project. strutil has the following features:

• Generic parsing methods - from std::string and to std::string.
• Splitting std::string to tokens with user defined delimiter (useful for CSV parsing).
• Replace a substring with another substring.
• Text manipulation functions: repeat (char or std::string), to_lower, to_upper, trim (also in-place).
• Checks: contains, starts_with, ends_with, matches.
• Compare two std::string with their case ignored.
• Header only library - no building required.
• Does not require any dependencies.

I would also point out that it is very welcome to report bugs or new improvements/features - I’m open to any suggestions.
