Is "Inflict Light Wounds" A melee touch attack?

[Ferio]

Or is it a spell with a range of touch?

I'm basically wondering if you have to roll to hit with this spell or if it auto hits.

Touch spells, when used against unwilling targets, follow the rules for touch attacks, including inflict light wounds.

You have to roll to hit with the spell.

So for instance, Inflict Light Wounds would be a STR based attack?

[Cheapy]

Yep.

If you are using it as an attack then you have to roll, and it goes off of strength.

Yes, base attack bonus plus Strength modifier, and any other attack roll modifiers that may apply.

Or Dex, if you have Weapon Finesse.
