EXAMPLE MANAGEMENT FOR STRING TRANSFORMATION

A method for transforming strings includes identifying one or more candidate example input strings from a database including a set of input strings. The candidate example input strings are presented for example transformation. For one or more of the candidate example input strings, an example output string corresponding to that example input string is received, where each example input string and its corresponding example output string define a transformation example in an example set. A string transformation program is generated based on transformation examples in the example set.
