STR Function

Generates a string value containing a specified number of occurrences of a string.

Syntax

STR(string, times)

Syntax Elements

string is a DataBasic expression that evaluates to a string.

times is the number of occurrences of string to be included in the result.

If times is less than one, a null string is returned.

Comment

For strings containing fewer than ten characters, using a string literal is more efficient than the STR function.

Examples

S = STR('*',12)

Creates a string consisting of 12 asterisks (*) and assigns it to variable S.

PRINT STR('ABC',3)

Prints the string ABCABCABC.

VAR = STR("A",2)
B = "BBB"
C = VAR:B

Assigns the string value AABBB to variable C.

N = STR("?%?",4)

Assigns the string value ?%??%??%??%? to variable N.
