// Code Modification History:
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 02/23/2003 - J. Ritchie Carroll
// Generated original version of source code.
// 01/24/2006 - J. Ritchie Carroll
// Migrated 2.0 version of source code from 1.1 source (GSF.Shared.String).
// 06/01/2006 - J. Ritchie Carroll
// Added ParseBoolean function to parse strings representing booleans that may be numeric.
// 07/07/2006 - J. Ritchie Carroll
// Added GetStringSegments function to break a string up into smaller chunks for parsing.
// and/or displaying.
// 08/02/2007 - J. Ritchie Carroll
// Added a CenterText method for centering strings in console applications or fixed width fonts.
// 08/03/2007 - Pinal C. Patel
// Modified the CenterText method to handle multiple lines.
// 08/21/2007 - Darrell Zuercher
// Edited code comments.
// 09/25/2007 - J. Ritchie Carroll
// Added TitleCase function to format a string with the first letter of each word capitalized.
// 04/16/2008 - Pinal C. Patel
// Made the keys of the string dictionary returned by ParseKeyValuePairs function case-insensitive.
// Added JoinKeyValuePairs overloads that does the exact opposite of ParseKeyValuePairs.
// 09/19/2008 - J. Ritchie Carroll
// Converted to C# extensions.
// 12/13/2008 - F. Russell Roberson
// Generalized ParseBoolean to include "Y", and "T".

// Added Reverse - Reverses the order of characters in a string.
// Added EnsureEnd - Ensures that a string ends with a specified char or string.
// Added EnsureStart - Ensures that a string begins with a specified char or string.
// Added IsNumeric - Test to see if a string only includes characters that can be interpreted as a number.
// Added TrimWithEllipsisMiddle - Adds an ellipsis in the middle of a string as it is reduced to a specified length.
// Added TrimWithEllipsisEnd - Trims a string to not exceed a fixed length and adds a ellipsis to string end.
