class StringList(ViewList):

A ViewList with string-specific methods.

Method	`get_2D_block`	Undocumented
Method	`get_indented`	Extract and return a StringList of indented lines of text.
Method	`get_text_block`	Return a contiguous block of text.
Method	`pad_double_width`	Pad all double-width characters in self by appending `pad_char` to each. For East Asian language support.
Method	`replace`	Replace all occurrences of substring `old` with `new`.
Method	`trim_left`	Trim `length` characters off the beginning of each item, in-place, from index `start` to `end`. No whitespace-checking is done on the trimmed text. Does not affect slice parent.

def get_2D_block(self, top, left, bottom, right, strip_indent=True):

Undocumented

def get_indented(self, start=0, until_blank=False, strip_indent=True, block_indent=None, first_indent=None):

Extract and return a StringList of indented lines of text.

Collect all lines with indentation, determine the minimum indentation, remove the minimum indentation from all indented lines (unless strip_indent is false), and return them. All lines up to but not including the first unindented line will be returned.

Parameters
start	The index of the first line to examine.
until_blank	Stop collecting at the first blank line if true.
strip_indent	Strip common leading indent if true (default).
block_indent	The indent of the entire block, if known.
first_indent	The indent of the first line, if known.
Returns
a StringList of indented lines with minimum indent removed; the amount of the indent; a boolean: did the indented block finish with a blank line or EOF?

def get_text_block(self, start, flush_left=False):

Return a contiguous block of text.

If flush_left is true, raise UnexpectedIndentationError if an indented line is encountered before the text block ends (with a blank line).

def pad_double_width(self, pad_char):

Pad all double-width characters in self by appending pad_char to each. For East Asian language support.

def replace(self, old, new):

Replace all occurrences of substring old with new.

def trim_left(self, length, start=0, end=sys.maxsize):

Trim length characters off the beginning of each item, in-place, from index start to end. No whitespace-checking is done on the trimmed text. Does not affect slice parent.
