* {{tl|Str sub}} — To trim down to a specified number, starting at a given number from the left, less than 50.
* {{tl|Substr any}} — To trim down to a specified number, starting at a given number from the left, less than 50, can extract accented letters.
* {{tl|Str sub long}} — To trim down to a specified number, starting at a given number from the left, less than 100.

Inserting strings:

* {{[[Template:Strloc insert|Strloc insert]]}} - Inserts a string at character location strloc, or appends if strloc<=0.
* {{[[Template:Strloc prefix|Strloc prefix]]}} - Extracts string prefix up to location strloc, or whole string if strloc<=0.
* {{[[Template:Str rep|Str rep]]}} — Returns the string, replacing the first occurrence of a specified string, with another string. Requires a match.
* {{[[Template:Str repc|Str repc]]}} — Returns the string, replacing the first occurrence of a specified string, with another string, if there is one.

Analyzing strings:

* {{tl|Str endswith}} – To check if a string ends with a given string.
* {{tl|Str find}} – Returns the numerical location of a given string in a string, up to 50 characters.
* {{tl|Str find long}} – Returns the numerical location of a given string in a string, up to 80 characters.
* {{tl|Strfind short}} – Searches for a short string in a longer (up to 99 char) string. Performs faster than {{tl|str find}}
* {{tl|Str index}} – Returns a given character from a string, but not accented letters.

* {{tl|Strlen quick}} – Gets string length quickly (better performance), up to 70 long.
* {{tl|Strlen short}} – Gets length of short strings (1-50), using only 2 expansion levels.
* {{tl|Str letter}} — Returns the number of letters that begin a string.
* {{tl|Str number}} — Returns the number of numbers that begin a string.
* {{tl|Ship prefix}} — Returns the length of a ship name prefix, if listed.

* {{tl|Str ≤ len}} – To check if a string is "shorter or equally long" or "longer" than a given length.
* {{tl|Str ≠ len}} – To check if a string is "not equal" or "equal" to a given length.
* {{tl|Str ≤ ≥ len}} – To check if a string is "shorter", "equal", or "longer" than a given length.
