Introduction
The data subtype quoted string is applied in following cases:
- Text inside double quotation marks is written into B4P variables.
- Text inside double quotation marks is used in B4P expressions and comparisons.
- Unless specified otherwise, almost all B4P functions which return values of type string are of subtype quoted strings.
- The contents in quoted strings are always considered as given , including:
- No symbols like '*' or '?' are treated as wildcard symbols for comparisons
With Text Inside Double Quotation Marks
a[] = "Hello World";
b[] = "Hello World";
c[] = " Hello World ";
echo( 'a[] = "', a[], '"');
echo( 'b[] = "', b[], '"');
echo( 'c[] = "', c[], '"');
echo( 'Subtype of a[] is ', subtype( a[] ) );
echo( "Simple comparison returning 'false': ", Hello = "*llo" ); // quoted strings support no wildcardsOutput:
a[] = "Hello World"
b[] = "Hello World"
c[] = " Hello World "
Subtype of a[] is quoted string
Simple comparison returning 'false': false
