Detailed Description

Arbitrary number of characters.

A String represents a sequences of characters. The OTX-runtime maps this String to a std::string class.

Important: Inside the The OTX-runtime the data type String handles bytes independently of the encoding used. If used to handle sequences of multi-byte characters (such as UTF-8), all operations, such as LengthOfString, will still operate in terms of bytes and not the encoded characters! E.g. StringUtil.LengthOfString("€"); returns 3 and not 1, because "€" consists of 3 bytes in UTF-8.

Note: If an String declaration is not explicitly initialized, an empty string "" is assigned to the declaration.

Conversion Terms

Conversion	Result	Sample
ToBoolean	Returns true if string value is "true", otherwise false	Boolean b = ToBoolean("123"); // Returns false
ToInteger	Returns the integer value of the string	Integer i = ToInteger("123"); // Returns 123
ToFloat	Returns the float value of the string	Float f = ToFloat("123"); // Returns 123.0
ToString	Returns the copy of the value	String s = ToString("123"); // Returns "123"
ToByteField	Returns the UTF-8 encoded value	ByteField bf = ToByteField("123"); // Returns 313233
