strmul

Abstract

Produce multiple copies of a string

Description

Concatenates a string any number of times

Syntax

Sout strmul Sin, itimes, imaxlen=1024
Sout strmul Sin, ktimes, imaxlen=1024

Arguments

• Sin: The source string
• itimes: The number of times to duplicate the string.
• ktimes: The number of times to duplicate the string.
• imaxlen: Maximum length of the resulting string. This needs to be known at init time to avoid allocations at performance

Output

• Sout: The resulting string

Execution Time

• Init (if itimes is an init variable)
• Performance (if ktimes is a k-variable)

Examples

<CsOptions>
--nosound

<CsInstruments>

instr 1
    Sout = strmul("*", 10)
    println "Sout: %s", Sout
    turnoff
endin

instr 2
    ksig = oscil:k(0.5, 5)+0.5
    Ssig = strmul("*", round(ksig*80));
    printsk "ksig: %s\n", Ssig
endin
</CsInstruments>
