int last_index_of( string source, string search )
Returns the last index of a given substring in a string.

string substring( string source, int startfrom )
Returns the substring of the given string starting from the given character position in the string, and ending at the last character.

Converts a string text into a formatted string for using with raw URLs or from a formatted string back into “normal” text.

string [int] split_string( string source )

string [int] split_string( string source, string regex )
string [int,int] group_string( string source, string regex )

string [int] session_logs( string player, int day_count ) Gives access to the session logs saved by kolmafia. More details will be added when this function's own page is written. For now, more extensive details can be found here: http://kolmafia.us/index.php/topic,794.msg3879.html#msg3879
