I've been writing some Elisp, some of it turned up all-Emacs.
Maybe it already exists in Emacs or ELPA, if so I'd be happy
to use that instead. Are there any options?
If not, this is a candidate for a string library.
;;; -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
(defun string-words (str &optional no-sort keep-case)
(or keep-case (setq str (downcase str)))
(let ((words (split-string str "[[:space:]()]+" t "[[:punct:]]+")))
(if no-sort
words
(sort words) )))

Ah, no, this is about getting a list of words, so you can do stuff with them. Here is what I did with it, not anything for Emacs tho, ha: https://dataswamp.org/~incal/emacs-init/b-a-original.el -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

In Emacs we prefer to "do stuff" on text directly in the buffer, instead of first extracting the text as strings and then working with those strings. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Right, and I'm not against it for the situations where it is preferable, of course. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
