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'
