<span class="pageSubtitle">Bit-wise OR two strings</span>

<p class="warn"><b>Note: </b>Many $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. The OO equivalent for the $StrOr function is the [[BitOrString (String function)]].</p>

This function performs a bit-wise OR of two strings. 

The <var>$StrOr</var> function accepts three arguments and returns a string result that is the bit-wise OR of the first two arguments, the shorter being padded with as many copies of the third argument as are required to make the string lengths equal. 

==Syntax==
<p class="syntax"><span class="term">%STR</span> = <span class="literal">$StrOr</span>(<span class="term">string1</span>, <span class="term">string2</span>, [<span class="term">pad</span>])
</p>

===Syntax terms===
<table>
<tr><th>%str</th> 
<td>The bit-wise AND of <var class="term">string1</var> and <var class="term">string2</var>.</td></tr>

<tr><th>string1</th>
<td>An arbitrary string.</td></tr> 

<tr><th>string2</th>
<td>Another arbitrary string.</td></tr>

<tr><th>pad</th>
<td>An arbitrary string that is appended to the shorter of the first two strings and replicated as many times as required to make the strings of equal length. If this value is not specified or is null, it defaults to a single null byte (X'00').
</td></tr>

==Examples==
<ol>
<li>This code fragment would set <code>%junk</code> to <code>X'756333445566'</code>:
<p class="code">%X = $X2C('112233445566')
%Y = $X2C('654321')
%junk = $StrOr(%X, %Y)
</p>

<li>These statements would set <code>%junk</code> to <code>X'DDEEFFCCDDEE'</code>:
<p class="code">%X = $X2C('112233445566')
%junk = $StrOr(%X, , $X2C('CC'))
</p>

<li>This code fragment would set <code>%junk</code> to <code>X'1122FF44FF66'</code>:
<p class="code">%X = $X2C('112233445566')
%Y = $X2C('1122')
%Z = $X2C('FF00')
%junk = $StrOr(%X, %Y, %Z)
