After no interest was shown in my submission of other string functions (as I expected 
), I've decided to post this one separately instead of adding it to my previous post (I think people will actually find this one neat).
What is it?
It's a function that will transform and normal, boring string into a beautiful gradient string. The other functions are just utility functions for the main one, but feel free to use them too.
How do I use it?
Just use:
Where s is the string; (r1,g1,b1) are the RGB values of the first color (from 0-255); and (r2,g2,b2) are the RGB values of the second color.
Picture?
Here:
Code?
Note:
When displaying gradient strings (like with BJDebugMsg or others), remember that the color code counts towards the limit of characters to be shown. So if your string is cut short or has a visible color code at the end, you need to shorten it. I was too lazy to add any safety for this

JASS:
