Hi!
Really, the limit for string is 2GB, but it is limited by the memory. I did tried to test once and get different results, all around 30MB and even more.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
