Some questions about Strings

Hello!

I have some questions about Strings:

1.) How to concatenate (add) two strings,
such as "strcat" function in C++?

2.) How to convert Value to String?
3.) How to convert String to Value?

Assuming you're talking about torque script, data types are not defined directly in torque script so you can do funky things like the following:

%bothstrings = "1" @ "a"; // concat result is "1a"
%bothstrings2 = "1" SPC "b"; // result is "1 b"

Compare strings: "str" $= "abc" ... returns false

%string = "1";
%string = %string @ "2";
(%string == 12) // returns true
(%string $= "12") // returns true

Hope that helped.

Re 2) and 3): Everything is a string in TorqueScript. No conversions needed.
