## strcpyk

strcpyk — Assign value to a string variable (k-rate)

## Description

Assign to a string variable by copying the source which may be a constant or another string variable. strcpyk does the assignment both at initialization and performance time.

## Syntax

    Sdst strcpyk Ssrc

## Examples

Here is an example of the strcpyk opcode. It uses the file strcpyk.csd.

Example 1039. Example of the strcpyk opcode.

See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.
