  A string is just an array of byte values that happen to be characters and, by convention, end with a zero byte. You can't directly assign strings, but you can copy them with BYTEMOVE (look in the Propeller manual for details). Here's a simple example:
  

  VAR byte helloStr[noparse][[/noparse] 9 ]
  
  PUB main
     BYTEMOVE(helloStr,6,string("hello"))   ' copy the string constant plus its zero byte
     if strsize(@helloStr) <> 5                    ' make sure the string is 5 characters
        ' do something
     if helloStr[noparse][[/noparse] 0 ] == "h"                          ' if so, check the first character
        ' do something
     if strcomp(@helloStr,string("hello"))     ' you can compare strings for equality this way
        ' do something

  @Mike Green and marcla
  
  The
  

  BYTEMOVE(helloStr,6,string("hello"))
  
  

  
  
  should be
  

  BYTEMOVE(@helloStr,string("hello"),6)
