+/**
+ * This class contains utility functions for handling strings.
+ *
+ * This class is @em not a substitute for the TQString class. What
+ * I tried to do with this class is provide an easy way to
+ * cut/slice/splice words inside sentences in whatever order desired.
+ * While the main focus of this class are words (ie characters
+ * separated by spaces/tabs), the two core functions here ( split()
+ * and join() ) will function given any char to use as a separator.
+ * This will make it easy to redefine what a 'word' means in the
+ * future if needed.
+ *
+ * I freely stole some of the function names from python. I also think
+ * some of these were influenced by mIRC (yes, believe it if you will, I
+ * used to write a LOT of scripts in mIRC).
+ *
+ * The ranges are a fairly powerful way of getting/stripping words from
+ * a string. These ranges function, for the large part, as they would in
+ * python. See the word(const TQString&, const char *) and remword(const TQString&, uint) functions for more detail.
+ *
+ * This class contains no data members of its own. All strings are cut
+ * on the fly and returned as new qstrings/qstringlists.
+ *
+ * Quick example on how to use:
+ *
+ * \code
+ * KStringHandler kstr;
+ * TQString line = "This is a test of the strings";
+ *
+ * cout << "1> " << kstr.word( line , "4:" ) << "\n";
+ * cout << "2> " << kstr.remrange( line , "2:5" ) << "\n";
+ * cout << "2> " << kstr.reverse( line ) << "\n";
+ * cout << "2> " << kstr.center( kstr.word( line , 4 ) , 15 ) << "\n";
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * and so forth.
+ *
+ * @short Class for manipulating words and sentences in strings
+ * @author Ian Zepp <icszepp@islc.net>
+ * @see KShell
