Admin commands, recognizing a valid IP/e-mail/website, finding a number in a message, Capitalizing The First Letter Of Every Word, formatting a string to round it to the hundredths place, converting a string from base 3 to base 47, any pretty much 6/10ths of everything else.

When I made a calculator in c++ I used it to combine the numbers together. Example

>Person has 2
>Person presses 3
>Now 23

oh and data management

you can put all your data together and separate it with a delimiter, and unpack that data

it's really great and can help a lot

/\ "Data Management"
My favorite use case so far. Had an issue because you can't save custom ROBLOX datatypes such as Color3 or Vector3 using DataStore. Convert it into a string, and then convert back when needed. Problem solved :)
