roString

roString is the object equivalent for intrinsic type 'String'.

This is useful in the following situations:

• When an object is needed, instead of an intrinsic value. For example, "roList" maintains a list of objects. If an String is added to roList, it will be automatically wrapped in an roString by the language interpreter. When a function that expects a BrightScript Component as a parameter is passed a string, BrightScript automatically creates the equivalent BrightScript Component.

• If any object exposes the ifString interface, that object can be used in any expression that expects an intrinsic value.

Supported interfaces

• ifString
• ifStringOps
• ifToStr
