String - Overview

The String object allows you to manipulate strings (i.e. alphanumeric characters surrounded by quite marks in a variable) in your script. These functions are all methods or properties of String objects, which means that in the script they must be called as follows:

MyString.functionName

This means, type the name of the string object followed by the name of one of the OpusScript functions listed below separated by a full stop, For example:

MyString.charAt(3)
