_CV

The _CV function is used to convert _MK$, ASCII, STRING values to numerical values.

Syntax

result = _CV(numericalType, MKstringValue$)

Parameters

• numericalType is any number type: INTEGER, LONG, SINGLE, DOUBLE, _INTEGER64, _FLOAT, _BYTE or _BIT.
• Integer, Long, Byte and Bit values can be signed or _UNSIGNED.
• The MKstringvalue$ parameter must be a string value generated by _MK$

Description

• The MKstringvalue$ value type must match the numerical type parameter used.
• _MK$ string values consist of ASCII characters in the same byte length as the number value type.

Examples

Example: Using the _MK$ and _CV functions:

DIM i64 AS _INTEGER64 DIM i64str AS STRING i64 = 4099318665700534580 i64str = _MK$(_INTEGER64, i64) PRINT "I64:"; i64 PRINT "_MK$: "; i64str i64 = _CV(_INTEGER64, i64str) PRINT "_CV:"; i64

I64: 4099318665700534580 _MK$: 4i5z¢┤π8 _CV: 4099318665700534580

The _MK$ string result may not print anything to the screen, as in the example above, unless _CONTROLCHR is set to OFF.
