==== Legacy ====

Strings are sequences of any characters enclosed by double quotes '"'.

<code cpp>"Amazon"</code>

<code cpp>"North"</code>

<code cpp>"This is an example of string"</code>

<code cpp>"landscape_123       "</code>

<code cpp>"x1_and_a_name"</code>

<code cpp>"string with \"double quotes\""</code>

A string can be any size long and it can also span across several lines.

<code cpp>
"This is an example of a very long string
with multiple lines.
Note that line breaks do not need to marked using any special syntax."
</code>

==== Raw String Format (starting on Dinamica 5.0.1) ====

The raw string is written with the following syntax:

$"<delimiter>( raw_characters )<delimiter>"

Where raw_characters is your string, sequences of any characters, and <delimiter> is any character that, with the character ')', is not present into raw_characters (it can be none, case where the character ')' is not present into raw_characters).

<code cpp>$"(This is an example of String)"</code>

<code cpp>$"0(This is an example of String with the character ))0"</code> 

<code cpp>$"1(This is an example of String with the sequence of characters )0)1"</code> 

A string can be any size long and it can also span across several lines.

<code cpp>
$"(This is an example of a very long string
with multiple lines.
Note that line breaks do not need to marked using any special syntax.)"
