Introduction

Strings in B4P consist of 0, 1 or any number of UNICODE characters. Every character counts as 1 character, regardless if it is an ANSI or non-ANSI (e.g. foreign) character. The string length is only limited to the available system memory. Unlike other programming languages, B4P supports two string subtypes where differences in interpreting the contents apply:

• Quoted strings, and
• Softquoted strings.

Simple rules: B4P handles Text inside double quotation marks as quoted strings where all contents are considered as given.
And text inside single quotation marks as well as plain text are handled as softquoted strings.
