String manipulation operations
This OTX extension provides a collection of data types and terms which operate on strings.
Important: The OTX-Runtime API uses UTF-8 to encode the text in a string. A character instance represents a 8-bit code unit. UTF-8 supports all valid code points using a variable-width encoding of one to four one-byte (8-bit) code units. All string operations of the extension work on the basis of the 8-bit code units. This means, for example, that the term LengthOfString returns the value 3 and not 1 for the euro sign "€", since "€" consists of three 8-bit code units.
