<h3 class="section">5.6 Strings</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Some languages, like C or the original Pascal, do not have string types,
|
||
|
|
they just have related things like arrays of characters. But most
|
||
|
|
Pascals and various other languages have string types, which are
|
||
|
|
indicated as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt><code>n </code><var>type-information</var><code> ; </code><var>bytes</var><dd><var>bytes</var> is the maximum length. I'm not sure what
|
||
|
|
<var>type-information</var> is; I suspect that it means that this is a string
|
||
|
|
of <var>type-information</var> (thus allowing a string of integers, a string
|
||
|
|
of wide characters, etc., as well as a string of characters). Not sure
|
||
|
|
what the format of this type is. This is an AIX feature.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>z </code><var>type-information</var><code> ; </code><var>bytes</var><dd>Just like ‘<samp><span class="samp">n</span></samp>’ except that this is a gstring, not an ordinary
|
||
|
|
string. I don't know the difference.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><code>N</code><dd>Pascal Stringptr. What is this? This is an AIX feature.
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Languages, such as CHILL which have a string type which is basically
|
||
|
|
just an array of characters use the ‘<samp><span class="samp">S</span></samp>’ type attribute
|
||
|
|
(see <a href="String-Field.html#String-Field">String Field</a>).
