Abstract

A facility capable of describing the basic processing of strings of symbols is introduced. Based upon the primative characteristics of string processing, the proposal is capable of being readily incorporated into a majority of general purpose procedural programming languages currently available. Also, the proposed techniques can be used to define the more sophisticated operations usually associated with specialized string processing languages.
