-String variables are added by NVSE 4. A string is simply some combination of text characters and exists widely in the vanilla game. A string variable allows you to store a string in a similar way to any other variable, and a wide range of functions allow powerful capabilities for them.

-String variables are very simple to use, provided you also use [[Let]] instead of [[Set]] and 'if [[Eval|eval]]' instead of simply 'if'. To appreciate the full range of possibilites available, a [[Tutorial: String Variables|tutorial]] is available.
-==Simple Example==
-<pre>
-string_var my_string
-let my_string := "this is my string"
-MessageEx my_string
-if eval my_string == "this string"
-   ; do something. Obviously this is false in this case.
-endif
-</pre>
-<pre>
-string_var my_string
-int MyInt
-let MyInt := 5
-let my_string := "the value of MyInt is %g", MyInt
-</pre>
