18.6.2.2495 X\STRING- x-string-minus XCHAR EXT

( xc-addr u₁ -- xc-addr u₂ )

Search for the penultimate xchar in the string xc-addr u₁. The string xc-addr u₂ contains all xchars of xc-addr u₁, but the last. Unlike XCHAR-, X\STRING- can be implemented in encodings where xchar boundaries can only reliably detected when scanning in forward direction.

Implementation:

: X\STRING- ( xc-addr u -- xc-addr u' )
OVER + XCHAR- OVER - ;

The pronounciation is given as "x-string-minus". If I hear this, I type XSTRING- or X-STRING-. A better pronounciation would be "x-backslash-string-minus"
