What do you think of me inbuilding a Unicode uppercaser and lowercaser? Instead of making you use the UnicodeStuff.Uppercase/ LowerCase functions? There is a...
It's not quite what I would call 'a glaring omission from your current plugin'. I haven't needed it thusfar, and chances are I may never need it. Unless...

... Yeah... Uppercasing is more for word processors. Still, I think case folding is good for Unicode compliant searching. It does make searching a bit tricky...

Hi people, I've been thinking of adding two new features to ElfDataFields... 1) if you pass nil or an ElfData with 0 length, to ElfDataField's separator......
Also, what do you think about me renaming .FieldIndex to .Count? I think .Count is a bit cuter :) Easier to remember also. .FieldIndex... I forgot I even had...

Now that you mention it... I used to confuse the two a lot (size/length), but not anymore. As for .FieldIndex, I haven't used it yet. I know I requested it a...

Hi people, could someone email deniseaddy@... to tell her apparantly my entire ISP has been blacklisted by excite.com and I can't email her unless she...
That's not entirely true. ElfData.Length is not settable while FastString.Length is. Apart from this .Length property, FastString also has the .Size property,...

Did anyone ever use ElfDataDictionary.CachedSplit? Just wondering. I don't really like that function. It's slower than ElfData.Mid (funnily enough!) even when...
I never used it. I tested it though, but I could not make it to outperform other ways of achieving the same. Funnily, I came across the function again only a...

Hmmm, I like the sound of that! Actually, I've been thinking about adding autocomplete to Metropolis. There are some datafields that would benefit the user if...

Two reasons. Firstly, Metropolis' spelling checker was incomplete, flawed. ...and when you told me your ElfDataFuzzy code was broken (at the time) I thought it...

I must have misunderstood then. As for the checker I removed, I'd have to dig it up again. let it suffice to say 'it was flawed' ;-) Ronald Vogelaar ...
