ToString

A function added by the New Vegas Script Extender.

Description

Added by NVSE V4. Attempts to convert an expression to a string. For numeric expressions, the result is a string representation of the numeric value. For objects, it is the name of the object if available; otherwise it is the formID expressed in hexadecimal notation. For string expressions no conversion is necessary.

You can also use the shorthand alias '$'.
