string object
The string object is used to store text.
string()
Parameters:
None.
Remarks:
The string object contains overloaded operators which allow it to be assigned, compared and accessed like any other variable. Additionally, it allows access to each individual character by way of indexes specified in square brackets, similar to arrays.
Strings are unique in that they can be declared and used as variables, or they can be passed back and forth as literal values.
Please see the String Variables chapter in the Language Tutorial for in-depth information regarding strings.
Example:

    // Declare a string and display its length.

    void main()
    {
    string name;
    name="Damien";
    alert("String example", "The name "+name+" is "+name.length()+" characters long.");
    }
