SoSFString — field containing a string
Contents
Description
A field containing an ASCII string (sequence of characters). Inventor does not support non-ASCII strings.
SoSFStrings are written to file as a sequence of ASCII characters in double quotes (optional if the
string doesn't contain any whitespace). Any characters (including newlines) may appear within the quotes.
To include a double quote character within the string, precede it with a backslash. For example:
Testing
"One, Two, Three"
"He said, \"Immel did it!\""
are all valid strings.
