How to get shit done with strings

Strings

String interpolation

REDscript lets you insert any expression into a string using the s prefix. This is a convenient way to create formatted strings without using concatenation or conversions.

Log(s"My name is \(name) and I am \(year - birthYear) years old");

This is equivalent to:

Log("My name is " + name + " and I am " + ToString(year - birthYear) + " years old");

The compiler automatically converts expressions of any type other than String using ToString.

String concatenation

Via string addition overloads, you can simply use the + operator to join strings with values of different types (such as Int32 or Float) without using #string-conversions.

// You can use addition to combine strings with integers, floats and several other types 
Log("My name is " + name + " and I am " + (year - birthYear) + " years old");

String conversions

Make sure to check intrinsics.md for further conversions
