asp_web_howto thread: integer part of string


Message #1 by "Oliver Dempsey" <odempsey@b...> on Mon, 16 Apr 2001 18:11:04 +0100
Hi there

Is there a function in VB script to strip an integer and a string from a 

string or do I need to create one myself?

for example if I want to return integer =3D 45 and string =3D 

"California" from "45California"



Regards

Oliver

Oliver,



To my knowledge, No, there is no parse command to do what you want. If the

strings are consistent, you could create a function to do the trick.  Just

use a LEFT or RIGHT prune command.  If there are multiple strings in a RS,

create a for....next loop to go through all the records.



Good luck.

Roger

with JScript there is a function which will return the numeric part of a 

string parseint() but I could not find the equivalent in VBscript
