The command str2ptr is short for "String to Pointer".
This command returns a pointer to a string variable.
It is used when calling dll functions with a string as a parameter.
The way dll calls for strings in Brutus2D works is that you need to send a pointer to
the string rather than the string itself.
The B2D DLL.CallAPI function only accepts numbers as parameters.
So in psuedo code:
Dim a
a = "Hello"
DLL.CallAPI "mydll", "myfunction", str2ptr(a)
There are example sources in the examples folder and
it is talked about in the help manual under "DLL's".
