For example 'The quick, b ... e "lazy‚Äù dog.'. I did some work on this a long time ago - but can I find it?

They're packaged with PageBlocks, but you can get the source from the online reference, and I'm pretty sure there's nothing specific to PB in them. Demos are here: http://www.pageblocks.org/demo/getstring Code is here: http://www.pageblocks.org/refc/fwpStr_getLeft http://www.pageblocks.org/refc/fwpStr_getRight http://www.pageblocks.org/refc/fwpStr_getWords http://www.pageblocks.org/refc/fwpStr_getSentences http://www.pageblocks.org/refc/fwpStr_getParagraphs They could probably be combined into one tag/type for a universal API. The coding style is pretty old, I think I originally wrote them back in LP5 days, and then re-released for LP8/PB5. Hey Jason,
