All static and cylindrically symmetric vacuum solutions of Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant ..lambda.. are found. We use these solutions to represent the exterior metric of a cosmic string. If ..lambda.. is negative, the exterior approaches the anti--de Sitter metric away from the string. If ..lambda.. is positive, the exterior metric is either an scrR /sup 3/ x scrS /sup 1/ universe with a curvature singularity, an scrR /sup 2/ x scrS /sup 2/ universe with a conical singularity, or an scrR /sup 2/ x scrS /sup 2/ universe with no singularity.
