Treat a string as longstring
Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. There is no OO equivalent for the $Lstr function.
This function takes a string or longstring input and produces a longstring output.
The $Lstr function accepts one argument and returns a longstring result.
The first argument is an arbitrary string or longstring.
Syntax
<section begin="syntax" /> %STR = $Lstr(longstring) <section end="syntax" />
$Lstr Function
%STR is a copy of longstring.
The main utility of the $Lstr function is to force a STRING WITH expression that is its argument to be upgraded to a LONGSTRING WITH expression. For example,
IF %COMEDIANS EQ (%WHO WITH ' Costello')
would truncate (%WHO WITH 'Costello') at 255 bytes before the comparison even if %COMEDIANS is a LONGSTRING %variable but
IF %COMEDIANS EQ $Lstr(%WHO WITH ' Costello')
would not.
$Lstr is only available in Sirius Mods Version 6.2 and later.
