The expressions to be converted to type string.
Converts the inputparameters to characters and returns a string expression.
The expressions to be converted to type string.
The string value for expr.
Allows the format of the output to be specified in precise detail, using a FORTRAN-style specification. FORTRAN-style formats are described in the PV-WAVE Programmer's Guide.
"(q1f1s1f2s2...fnqn)"
is an optional slash (/) record terminator. During output, each record terminator causes the output to move to a new line. During input, each record terminator causes the next line of input to be read.
is a FORTRAN-style format string. Some format strings specify how data should be transferred while others control some other function related to how I/O is handled. If you do not specify a format string, the result is formatted automatically.
is a comma (,) or a slash (/) that is used to separate input values. The only restriction on these separators is that two commas cannot occur side by side.
NOTE: The quotation marks and parentheses surrounding the format string are required. The quotation marks can be either single or double quotation marks.
x = STRING([65B,66B,67B])
y = STRING([byte('A'), byte('B'), byte('C')])
z = STRING('A' + 'B' + 'C')
x is a byte vector, and STRING converts it into a string scalar. The first parameter is 65B, which is a notation indicating that the parameter uses a byte data type, but the result is equal to the decimal ASCII code 65.
x = 123.45 result = STRING(x) PRINT, result
123.45
numbers to a string data type, using an integer format with a maximum field width of 2 characters. In all three cases, the STRING command entered is:
result = STRING(numbers, Format="(I2)")
numbers = [36, 9, 72], and result is computed with the format string shown, the result is:
PRINT, result
36 9 72
numbers = [5, 7, 9, 100], and result is computed with the format string, the result is:
PRINT, result
5 7 9 **
numbers = [6.12, 4.507, 4.339], and result is computed with the format string, the result is:
PRINT, result
6 4 4
