Converts the supplied Array of Numbers into a String through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode characters representation conversion, or provided Code to compilable String.
toString array
Parameters:
Important
If array contains non-number values, the following error might appear in .rpt file:
Bad conversion: scalar. See parseSimpleArray for multi-type array.
Returns: String - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode numbers converted to String of characters
since arma3 2.02
toString code
Parameters:
code: CodeReturns: String - compilable String from provided code
hint toString [65,97,338]; // returns "AaŒ"
["test", "test"] joinString toString [12345] splitString toString [12345]; // ["test", "test"]
private _compilableString = toString { hint "it works!" };
hint _compilableString; // hints ' hint "it works!" '
sleep 2;
call compile _compilableString; // hints ' it works! '

Tabs and new lines can be created with toString [9] and toString [10], respectively. Alternatively, a new line can also be created with toString [92,110] ("\n"). If you save these strings into a variable, they can be manipulated like any other string. For example, the following code will work just fine and return the expected output:
_tab = toString [9];
for "_i" from 0 to 3 do
{
_tab = _tab + (toString [9]);
};
copyToClipboard format ["x%1x",tab];
While you can convert any String to Array with toArray command, only numbers from 1 to 55295 (not 65535 as expected) can be successfully converted to String with toString and then back to Array with toArray without loss of data.
