Re: %str() use discouraged?

If getenv returns a null-terminated string then the statement should be:

I don't think that will work.

Justin's original code is correct
If %str(getenv('ENV_VAR')) = 'Literal value here';

getenv() returns a pointer to a null-terminated string. %str() returns the value of the string that the pointer is pointing to.
