Description
str
ByVal
String
The string variable whose string address is desired.
Discussion
This function returns the memory address of the first character of a string stored in a string variable. Note
that for dynamically allocated strings, the string address will be zero if the string is empty. Note also that
the returned address may refer to RAM, Program Memory or Persistent memory. The function
StrType() can be used to determine which address space contains the string’s characters. For
statically allocated strings, the string address will always be non-zero even if the string is empty.
See the section on Strings in the ZBasic Reference Manual for more details about dynamically vs.
statically allocated strings.
Example
Dim str as String
Dim addr as UnsignedInteger
Dim b as Byte
str = "Hello, world!"
addr = StrAddress(str)
b = RamPeek(addr)
' result will be 72, the letter H
Compatibility
This function is not available in BasicX compatibility mode.
