StringCopy

calling form description
StringCopy(new, old[, len]) Copies the contents of the array at the address given by old to the array at new, to a maximum of len characters if len is given, or the length of old if it isn’t.

StringCopy is another rarely-used string routine, but hey, let’s make up an example where we would use it. Let’s say we wanted to do the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy thing of taking the player’s first typo and rubbing it in their face much later in the game. We would use StringCopy to copy parse$ (where unknown words are sent) to the string array of our choice so we can recall it later using StringPrint.
