Quake C strings are one of the primitive types of Quake C. They are zero-terminated sequences of characters. Vanilla quake c offers no straightforward ways to modify a string once it is created and no way to combine existing strings into a new string.
Much like the C programming language, strings in QuakeC have escape characters:
| character | result |
|---|---|
| \n | new line |
| \" | " |
The 2021 release uses curly-braces as a delimiter/replacement shorthand
Searching through the existing entities in the world of quake can be done by strings
Strings can be printed/output to screen with a number of different methods
file paths are strings
see also:
ftos creates a string from a floating point number
vtos creates a string representation of a vector
