String methods

I'm doing a bit of string processing and would like to expose the BroString::ToUpper(..) to
the script as well as provide a case insensitive string (or r.e.) matching method. Do these
methods currently exist? If not, may I implement them with hopes of integrating them into
the main source branch?

thanks :slight_smile:

Hey there, distance worker! :slight_smile:

bro.bif.bro has

global to_lower: function(str: string): string;
global to_upper: function(str: string): string;

The string functions should really be renamed/namespaced to a more
consistent scheme because at the moment it's unfortunately a bit of a
pain to identify them. :frowning:

If not, may I implement them with hopes of
integrating them into the main source branch?

I've recently added some string algorithms to my tree too, so I'd hope
there is hope! :slight_smile:
