Subject: Remove calls to deprecated module string.
X-Git-Tag: 1.6.10~12889
X-Git-Url: https://git.lyx.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=26c0f379c7c997b9158ebe6792e62c52e6e21db3;p=features.git

Remove calls to deprecated module string.

The calls are now made to string methods, the advantage being that they work with
unicode strings.
