Functionality

There are two main kinds of functions in this library:

• String manipulation

  • Capitalize a string
  • Reverse a string
  • Reverse compliment a string
  • Split a string by a delimiter
  • Join a vector of strings by a delimiter

• Threadpool-style work functions

  • Apply a function to a vector of inputs

Example Usage:

        #include "pliib.hpp"
        using namespace pliib;

        // Split a string:
        string s = "ACT;TGC;AAA;aNoThErString;"
        vector<string> ret;
        split(s, ';', ret);
        // ret is modified to hold the tokens of s split by semicolons.
        // ret = {"ACT", "TGC", "AAA", "aNoThErString"}
