Strings

A string is a sequence of characters enclosed in double quotes (""). To put a double quote in a string, use two consecutive double quotes. The \ character starts an escape sequence, and the character(s) immediately following are interpreted specially. \n inserts a new line and two backslashes insert a single backslash. To put a new line into the string, press Eto wrap the text at that point.

ASC Syntax: ASC (string)

Returns a list containing the ASCII codes of string.

Example: ASC("AB") returns [65,66]

CHAR Syntax: CHAR(vector) or CHAR(integer)

Returns the string corresponding to the character codes in vector, or the single code of integer.

Examples: CHAR(65) returns "A"

CHAR([82,77,72]) returns "RMH"

DIM Syntax: DIM(string)

Returns the number of characters in string.

Example: DIM("12345") returns 5, DIM("""") and DIM("\n") return 1. (Notice the use of the two double quotes and the escape sequence.)
