POKE STRING and @string$

[boriel]

Is this a bug or "feature"? If it is a feature, how to find out the adress of a string stored in Variable?

Strings are just pointers to memory blocks (chars), so:

Code:

DIM a$; PRINT PEEK(Uinteger, @a$) a$ = "Hello" : REM Assigning a new value *changes* it [u]dynamic[/u] address PRINT PEEK(Uinteger, @a$)

Notice a$ address pointer changes (reallocates) a$ on each assignation.
