$string Casts a variable to a string
Usage
<integer> $string(<data:variant>)
Description

Forces <data> to be a string data type with the following semantics:

- If <data> is a string then <data> itself is returned.
- If <data> is an integer then its decimal representation is returned.
- If <data> is a real then its decimal floating-point representation is returned.
- If <data> is a boolean then the string 1 is returned for a true value and the string 0 for a false value.
- If <data> is nothing (unset) then an empty string is returned
- If <data> is an array then a string with all the items converted to strings and separated by commas is returned
- If <data> is a hash then a string with all the values converted to strings and separated by commas is returned
- If <data> is a hobject then the string "object" is returned

Note that since KVIrc does most of the casting work automatically you shouldn't need to use this function.
