Functions
void	StdStringUtils::SpanExcluding (const std::string &src, const std::string charSet, std::string &dst)
	Extract the string from the source string until one of the characters in charSet is found.
void	StdStringUtils::SpanExcluding (const std::string &src, const std::string charSet, std::string &dst, std::string::size_type &pos)
	Extract the string from the source string until one of the characters in charSet is found. Determine the string position of the end of the string extracted. ie. To aid in the start position of the next search.
void	StdStringUtils::MakeUpper (std::string &str)
	Conversion to uppercase.
void	StdStringUtils::MakeLower (std::string &str)
	Conversion to lowercase.
void	StdStringUtils::TrimRight (std::string &str)
	Remove whitespace starting from right edge.
void	StdStringUtils::TrimLeft (std::string &str)
	Remove whitespace starting from left side.
void	StdStringUtils::TrimLeftAndRight (std::string &str)
	Remove whitespace from the left and right.
bool	StdStringUtils::GetDouble (const std::string &src, double &dValue)
	Get a double from the string.
bool	StdStringUtils::GetFloat (const std::string &src, float &fValue)
	Get a float from the string.
bool	StdStringUtils::GetInt (const std::string &src, int &iValue)
	Get an int from the string.
bool	StdStringUtils::GetUnsignedInt (const std::string &src, unsigned &uiValue)
	Get an unsigned from the string.
bool	StdStringUtils::ExtractField (const std::string &str, const unsigned index, const char delimiter, std::string &field)
	Extract a substring from a string delimited by a specific delimiter using a 0-based index.
bool	StdStringUtils::ExtractFieldInplace (std::string &str, const char delimiter, std::string &field)
	Extract a substring from a string delimited by a specific delimiter and alter the original string so that the substring and delimiter are removed. e.g.
void	StdStringUtils::GetBaseName (const std::string str, std::string &BaseName)
	This function assumes the string is a filename like "c:\folder\data.gps". BaseName == "c:\folder\data", is the extracted string.
void	StdStringUtils::GetDirectoryOfThisStringPath (const std::string str, std::string &Directory)
	Assuming this string is a path. Directory is set to the folder containing the file. e.g. For: "c:\folder\subfolder\subsubfolder\data.txt", "c:\folder\subfolder\subsubfolder" is extracted.
void	StdStringUtils::GetFileNameFromThisStringPath (const std::string str, std::string &FileName)
	Assuming this string is a path. FileName is set (without the file path). e.g. For: "c:\folder\subfolder\subsubfolder\data.txt", "data.txt" is extracted.
