getPosition(index)

Returns the position in the content string of the beginning character of the sequence element.

Argument	Type	Default	Description
index	Int		Element index.

getValue(index)

Returns the value of a sequence element.

Argument	Type	Default	Description
index	Int		Element index.

insert(index, numElements, val)

Inserts many copies of an element.

Argument	Type	Default	Description
index	Int		Element index at which inserting begins.
numElements	Int		Number of elements to insert.
val	String		Value for the new elements.

isValidSequence()

Returns True if this object contains a valid sequence.

remove(index, numElements)

Removes elements starting at the given index.

Argument	Type	Default	Description
index	Int		Element index at which removal begins.
numElements	Int		Number of elements to remove.

setContentString(seqstr)

Resets all values for the sequence elements.

Argument	Type	Default	Description
seqstr	String		Sequence string with new values.

setElementSeparator(sep)

index	Int		Element index.
length	Int		New length (in characters).

setPosition(index, position)

Sets the position of the sequence element.

Argument	Type	Default	Description
index	Int		Element index.
position	Int		New position within the string.

setValue(index, value, replaceAll=False)

Sets the value of a sequence element.

Argument	Type	Default	Description
index	Int		Element index.
value	String		New value.
replaceAll	Bool	False	If False (default), leading and trailing spaces will be preserved, otherwise, all space between separators will be replaced with the new value.
