IecString is an [Automation Studio](https://www.br-automation.com/en-us/products/software/automation-software/automation-studio/) library of string functions.  

The functions **enhance** string manipulation, **protect** memory, and support [ANSI C/C++](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_C) and [IEC 61131-3](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_61131-3).

**NOTE**: This is not an official library and is supported through the community.  IecString is provided as-is under the [MIT License](https://mit-license.org/) agreement.  Source code, documentation, and issues are managed through [GitHub](https://github.com/tmatijevich/IecString).

# Features

* :lock: Protect against

    * buffer overflow

    * overlapping strings

    * accessing null pointers

* :rocket: Lightweight performance

* :no_entry_sign: Input strings are immutable

* :white_check_mark: Compatible with ANSI C/C++ and IEC 61131-3

* :bulb: Inspiration from [C standard library](https://cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/), [Python string methods](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#string-methods), [JavaScript string methods](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String#instance_methods)
