string
A sequence of characters.
Details
Strings constants can be inserted into the code as text standing either inside single quote (') or double quote (") characters, e.g. "Lorem ipsum" or 'Lorem ipsum'. Line breaks can be added to string constants either as physical line breaks or as the literal sequence "/n".
The unicode character set is supported.
Line breaks can be inserted into a string literal either via the newline character '\n' or by adding a line break directly.
Strings may contain unicode characters.
Example
string s = "lorem ipsum"
echo( s )
echo( s.length() )
echo( s.char( 3 ) )
Output
lorem ipsum
