Announcement text:
package xstring update version v1.5 2008/12/31 This package does not require LaTeX (but eTeX is required). Consequently, the xstring.tex file should be installed in the tex/ subtree. =========== Changes =========== * New feature : a group between braces has an identifier qualifying its position and its nestling depth. In an argument, a group can be found with its identifier with the macro \StrFindGroup. Several macros of the package also give the identifier of the group they worked into with the command \groupID. * Code improvment. * Bugfixes.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/xstring . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/xstring (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

xstring – String manipulation for (La)TeX
The package provides macros for manipulating strings — testing a string’s contents, extracting substrings, substitution of substrings and providing numbers such as string length, position of, or number of recurrences of, a substring.
The package works equally in Plain TeX and LaTeX (though e-TeX is always required). The strings to be processed may contain (expandable) macros.
