Description

• 

The Reverse(s) command returns a string formed by reversing the characters in string s.

• 

All of the StringTools package commands treat strings as (null-terminated) sequences of 8-bit (ASCII) characters.  Thus, there is no support for multibyte character encodings, such as unicode encodings.

Examples

The following example shows how to determine which words from a dictionary are such that the reversed word is also in the dictionary (other than palindromes). You may need to edit the location of the dictionary file for your system.

WordList/usr/dict/words:

WordListFileTools:-JoinPathkernelopts:-datadir,help,StringTools,words.dat:

wordsremovetype,opSplitreadbytesWordList,,TEXT,\n,,character:

Now eliminate the palindromes, convert the set to a list and sort it for easier perusal.
