- Converts any value into a string by placing " and " around the argument. Since Arma 3 v1.63.137891 this command will correctly escape all " inside a string:
// Before the fix:
hint str "string "" string"; // "string " string" <- invalid string
call compile str "string "" string"; // ERROR
// After the fix:
hint str "string "" string"; // "string "" string" <- valid string
call compile str "string "" string"; // OK
When used on object, object debug name is returned.

When applied to a unit, this returns the variable name that was assigned to the unit in the editor. For example, if you have created a playable unit with the name 'thePlayer' then you can use 'str player' to return "thePlayer";

When applied to a string, places quotes around it. If it also contains quotes, be careful in how you use it; e.g. including it as part of a string and then compiling it as code won't work.

In addition to the note above, if you try to count that string, the added quotations marks are valid characters and will be counted.
