✨ GOLF(2gg) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Development section of the 2gg manual, and today's main character is GOLF(2gg) — no wait, it's the page about copy-string, but the manual it lives in is literally called GOLF(2gg) and yes that's iconic of it 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

copy-string — (strings)

---

💖 PURPOSE 💖

Copies string to another string. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

⭐ SYNTAX ⭐

copy-string <source string> to <dest string> \
    [ start-with <start with> ] \
    [ length <length> ]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Use copy-string to copy <source string> to <dest string>. simple as. 🫶

The <start with> number (over in the "start-with" clause, iykyk) is the position in <source string> to start copying from, with 0 being the first byte. zero-indexed girlies rise 🙈

Without the "length" clause, the whole of <source string> gets copied. With the "length" clause, exactly <length> bytes are copied into <dest string>. exactly exactly. no crumbs left. 🔥

And here's the plot twist bestie — you can copy a string to itself. In this case, the original string remains and the new string references a copy. it's giving clone arc 👑

set-string str = "original string" // string to change

set-string orig = str // references original copy of the string to change

copy-string str to str // make a copy of string to change and assign it to itself

upper-string str // change the copy

// Now "str" references "ORIGINAL STRING"
// and "orig" references "original string"

---

💜 EXAMPLES 💜

After the copy-string below, "my_str" will be a copy of string "some value":

set-string other_string="some value"
copy-string other_string to my_str

Copy certain number of bytes, the result in "my_str" will be "ome":

set-string other_string="some value"
copy-string other_string to my_str length 3 start-with 1

ngl that second one is so satisfying, like a lil snack of bytes 🍓
