String Type

The string data type represents all textual strings. This data type is parsed differently than other data types - the expression syntax is limited to a "search and replace" of special identifiers and function calls. To use strings within functions, using use a "quoted string" or reference the string as an @variable.

Methods

Global Functions

Function Signature	Description
string Format(stringformat,List<T> parameters)	Formats the string using Lingoona Grammar. Use this for localization of contract packs, so that the localization files don't have parameters in them (which could potentially break if the contract pack changes, or just make maintenance more difficult).
