Some New String tools
Added a couple of new tools, that i had to add fairly quickly while doing another task. Thought i would make them into re-usable tools for future coding endevours.
Create UID from String
This tool came from a uid string function i made a while ago, where you can add any string and it will turn it into a UID or a Unique Identifier based on the string. This version you can type in any string in the String to Convert text area above and it will return the UID version of that string.
Add Slashes to String
This tool will run the php function for addslashes. Returns a string with backslashes added before characters that need to be escaped. Just add your string and it it will return the result in a box below.
Clean Whitespace from String
This tool will clean excess whitespace from a string, but still leave the singular white spaces intact. Excess whitespaces being a double or more than one space e.g " ", will convert to " ".
Mmm... stringy. 🧵

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."
I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
