string
Syntax
- s := string(a<,i_width><,s_fill><,i_prec><,s_format>)
Creates a string type.
How the string is created depends on the arguments provided. In general, the first parameter a will be converted to a string.
If i_width is provided, the string will be at least that many characters in length. If negative, the value is left-aligned. The string will be padded with spaces unless s_fill is provided, in which case it will be padded with that character.
- If the type uses floating point formatting (float or vector), then i_prec and s_format will be active as well.
Vector types will be converted into the format (x,y) or (x,y,z), where each component will use the floating point format specified.
- Returns:
s - A new string type
- Arguments:
a - A type to convert to a string i_width - width of the string created. If negative, the value is left-aligned. The default value is 0, indicating minimum necessary size. s_fill - pad character. Defaults to space. i_prec - digits of precision for output. Used only for float types. The default value is the current system precision (see the
model precision
command). s_format - floating point format. Used only for float types.
