...is this the string library you are referring to?

http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/strings.html

...or something more extensive?

I am not sure what you are getting at? More extensive? Those are basic string functions.

One man's paltry can be another man's extravagant. If you are coming from R5RS, then that Racket library would be a breath of fresh air. If you are coming from Perl, then maybe not so much.

That's the first time I hear of Racket being accused of being too small... Looking at http://perldoc.perl.org/index-functions-by-cat.html#Function... I count about 30 functions (including regexp ones); looking at the racket page I count over 50.

Also, I once got the snow yellow at over 3 meters.
