Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

A string is an array of characters. There is no limit to the amount of characters a String may contain. Simple string concatenation (e.g. concatenation that can be done during processing) is allowed. Strings must always be entered between single quotes ('). A single quote can be escaped with a second quote, so if a single quote should be part of the string, it needs to be typed twice.

Example

parameters

 string c = 'C:\data.txt';

 string b = 'This is a string with a '' single quote';

variables

 real d;

 string name;

equations

 if time > 10 then stopsimulation (b); end;

 d = table(c,1);

 name = c + ' // file';

 toMatlab (d, name)

 

Limitations

Strings may only be used as input for some special functions (e.g. table).
