##### Description

> Returns a repeating character string of the length specified.

##### Syntax

> String(number, character)

> The String function syntax has these arguments:

> Part | Description
> number | Length of the returned string. If number contains Null, Null is returned.
> character | Character code specifying the character or string expression whose first character is used to build the return string. If character contains Null, Null is returned.

##### Remarks

> If you specify a number for character greater than 255, String converts the number to a valid character code using the formula:

> >     character Mod 256

> The following example uses the String function to return repeating character strings of the length specified:

> >     Dim MyString
> >     MyString = String(5, "*")       ' Returns "*****".
> >     MyString = String(5, 42)        ' Returns "*****".
> >     MyString = String(10, "ABC")    ' Returns "AAAAAAAAAA".
