Description:
Returns an expression that has been converted to a value of the
String type.
In the PROMOTIC system it is better to use the Pm.StringFormat method.Syntax:
String CStr(Variant expression)
Parameters:
| expression | (Variant) Any valid expression. The value in expression specifies what is returned according to the following table:
Boolean - a string containing true or false
Date - a string containing a date in the short-date format of your system
Null - a runtime error
Empty - Empty string ("")
Other numeric - Text string containing the number |
|---|
Note:
The conversion functions can be used e.g. if you want some operation result to be expressed as a particular data type (rather than the default data type). For example, use CStr to force the result to be expressed as a String.
You should use the CStr function to provide internationally aware conversions from any other data type to a value of the String type. For example, different decimal separators are properly recognized depending on the locale setting of Windows system.
Example:
VBScriptSelect and copy to clipboard
Dim nDouble, sString
nDouble = 437.324
sString = CStr(nDouble)
' sString contains "437.324"
