Strings in ZScript...?

I saw a mysterious reference to strings and arrays in the release notes for one of the last few builds (776/777), and decided to experiment a bit. I got the following to compile:

ffc script StringTest{
  void run(){
    int myChar = 'a';  // A single character.
    int myUserName[11] = "ScaryBinary";  // An array of characters, proper length.
    int myBadExample[5] = "Overflow?";  // An array of characters, wrong length.
    // Dump some stuff to the log file.
    Trace(myChar);
    Trace(myUserName[0]);
    Trace(myBadExample[0]);
  }
}

The script dumped the following to the log file:
97.0000
83.0000
79.0000

The numbers dumped to the log file are the ASCII codes for the individual characters in the arrays. However, myBadExample[4] returned the question mark (I was expecting "f"...).

At any rate, I couldn't do much else (anything, actually) with the strings/character arrays...will we be getting some special string functions soon :naughty: ....or are there some secret ones implemented already? Ones that might let us draw whatever text we want, where we want on the screen? :giggle:
