Converting a String to a Number?

[Torsten Rienow]

Hi,

maybe i am a little overstressed, but i cannot
find any pb function, that will convert a string
to a long.

example:

dim s as string
dim l as long
s = "65"

l = ....(s)

can anyone give me a replacement for ....?

regards,

Torsten

Use the VAL function.

thx eric,

i was so focussed on CLNG, what works in
vb, that i forgot the basics,

Yes, VB does tend to play fast and loose with variable typing. In order for CLNG to work on a string, the string must really be a variant. Convenient for the programmer, but pretty inefficient at runtime.
