Need to turn String to Number
BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Beginners Area/Need to turn String to Number
| ||
| Am re writing a check register program. I need to be able to turn strings to numbers because all my inputs are strings. Int function in the manual shows it converts a float value to an integer. How can I change a string to an integer? |
| ||
Like this, I think:A$="123" C%=A$ |
| ||
| I put a stupid-proof string2float converter in the code archives some days ago.. It accepts crap like :"- - .-.3.- 9-.46.3" and creates a nice float out of it.. in this case: -3946.3 |

| Tiger-will try your suggestion(Maybe it works only on Comodore computers? CS_TBL-Need String to Integer not string to float! TwoEyedPete What was your point? |

| You can covert a float to an int anyway by using Int(Thefloat#). TwoEyedPete appears to have answered your question already (before) in his link. Tiger is right too of course. You can only do that assignment because it is a BASIC language otherwise you would have to convert or typecast it. For example trying that (A% = B$) in C would not work, you would need to program it or use a library function. In Delpi you use StrToInt, BUT if raises an exception if the string is not a valid number. Blitz just sets the int to 0. try this in blitzPLus f# = 0.55 a% = Int(f#) Notify (a) b$ = "51" a% = b$ Notify (a) |

| zook: yeah I know.. I just mentioned it.. in case you ever need a string to float function: it's CatWalksOnTheKeyboard-Proof! |

| TwoEyedPete- My apologies. I never noticed the Link.Hmmm learn somethin everyday. Thanks to all you people. Sorry to take this much of your time up.! ! ! |
