258 ValueI Type Subroutine Invocation ValueI(str, val, flag) Parameter Method Type Description str ByVal String The string from which to extract an Integer value. val ByRef int16 The variable to receive the value. flag ByRef Boolean The variable to receive a success indicator. Discussion This routine converts a character representation of an integral number, contained in the str parameter, to an Integer value returned in the val parameter. If the string is in an acceptable format, the flag parameter is set to True. Otherwise, the flag parameter is set to False and the val parameter will be 0. The string may contain any number of leading and/or trailing spaces. The value itself may consist of an optional plus or minus sign, an optional radix indicator, and one or more digits. The supported radix indicators are &H for hexadecimal, &O for octal and &B or &X for binary (all case insensitive). If no radix indicator is present, decimal is assumed. If the provided string has the proper format but represents a value that is too large or too small to be represented as an Integer, the result will be invalid but no such indication will be given. Examples of integral values accepted by ValueI() are: 103 +123 &H55 -&B01101 Compatibility This function is not available in BasicX compatibility mode. See Also ValueL, ValueS
