String type

The String Type module provides comprehensive tools for creating, manipulating, and analyzing text in Nelson.

It supports conversion between character arrays and string arrays, concatenation, trimming, justification, and case conversion.

The module also includes functions for searching, matching, replacing, and formatting strings, enabling flexible text processing for both simple and complex string operations.
