Cold Help System: Programming: ColdC Reference Manual: Functions: Data: tostr()


STRING tostr(ANY data)

This function returns a simple representation of the data specified by data. It is not a literal representation, as toliteral() does, but insteads is more succinct. For instance, with complex data types such as lists, the returned representation is simply "[list]". Less complex data types such as integers will still return the correct integer value.
