# hasStrings

A Boolean value that indicates whether the pasteboard contains a nonempty array of strings.

## Declaration

```swift
var hasStrings: Bool { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Employ this property to determine if a pasteboard contains string data. Do not use the string or strings properties to determine whether a pasteboard contains string data, because doing so consumes resources needlessly.
