Str

Function: Str
Section: conversions
C-Name: Str
Prototype: s*
Help: Str({x}*): concatenates its (string) argument into a single string.
Description:
 (gen):genstr:copy:parens      $genstr:1
 (gen,gen):genstr              Str(mkvec2($1, $2))
 (gen,gen,gen):genstr          Str(mkvec3($1, $2, $3))
 (gen,gen,gen,gen):genstr      Str(mkvec4($1, $2, $3, $4))
 (gen,...):genstr              Str(mkvecn($#, $2))

Doc:
 converts its argument list into a
 single character string (type \typ{STR}, the empty string if $x$ is omitted).
 To recover an ordinary \kbd{GEN} from a string, apply \kbd{eval} to it. The
 arguments of \kbd{Str} are evaluated in string context, see \secref{se:strings}.

 \bprog
 ? x2 = 0; i = 2; Str(x, i)
 %1 = "x2"
 ? eval(%)
 %2 = 0
 @eprog\noindent
 This function is mostly useless in library mode. Use the pair
 \tet{strtoGEN}/\tet{GENtostr} to convert between \kbd{GEN} and \kbd{char*}.
 The latter returns a malloced string, which should be freed after usage.
