String::ToIdentifier::EN provides a utility method, "to_identifier" for
|
||
|
|
converting an arbitrary string into a readable representation using the ASCII
|
||
|
|
subset of \w for use as an identifier in a computer program. The intent is to
|
||
|
|
make unique identifier names from which the content of the original string can
|
||
|
|
be easily inferred by a human just by reading the identifier.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you need the full set of \w including Unicode, see the subclass
|
||
|
|
String::ToIdentifier::EN::Unicode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Currently, this process is one way only, and will likely remain this way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The default is to create camelCase identifiers, or you may pass in a separator
|
||
|
|
char of your choice such as _.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Binary char groups will be separated by _ even in camelCase identifiers to make
|
||
|
|
them easier to read, e.g.: foo_2_0xFF_Bar.
