String and Parameter Functions

## Arguments

Name | Comments
--- | ---
instring | The string to evaluate.

The lr.eval_string function returns the input string after evaluating any embedded parameters. If the string argument contains only a parameter, the function returns the current value of the parameter.

Parameters must be in parameter brackets.

## Return Values

The input string, expanded to include the values of any parameters.

## Parameterization

All string input arguments can be passed using standard parameterization.

## Example

In the this example, there is a parameter, <iteration> that reports the iteration number of the test. The lr.error_message function sends a message indicating the current iteration number. The lr.error_message step includes a lr.eval_string call to convert the iteration number to a string.

Copy code

    if (status == lr.FAIL) {
        lr.error_message( "Error at iteration #" +
            lr.eval_string( "{iteration}" ) );
        return -1;
    }
    return 0;
