STRING

Syntax: quote_string = STRING(string)

The STRING function is useful in command scripts, where you want to pass a string to the script as a parameter, without enclosing it in quotes. For example, @script test where script.pcm is as follows:

 x = string(?1)//' is a quote string'
 display x
 

would display    test is a quote string

The key element here is that the user does not have to supply the quotes around the parameter test.

Examples

input result
STRING(test case) 'test case'
STRING(test) 'test'
STRING('test') 'test'
