Looks like you want a number, not a string. Try the following. When you
use the variable you have to quasiquote the pair, thus the syntax
changes slightly. Note the backtick and comma.
\version "2.18.2"
#(define str 5)
\markup
\pad-markup #.5 \halign #-1.3
\combine
\draw-line #`(,str . 0.5)
\draw-line #`(,str . -0.5)
