It appears you're running Synchronet v3.15b, which uses an older version of the 
Mozilla-JavaScript engine (SpiderMonkey). Upgrade to v3.16a (The currently 
development build) and you'll get a much newer JavaScript engine as well.

There very well might be in the newer JavaScript engine.

"String" is the standard JavaScript object for handling strings.

Synchronet also includes some C-like global functions for string handling, like 
"truncsp" for truncating white-space off the end of a string:
