asp_web_howto thread: Obtaining a value from text
Message #1 by "Craig Flannigan" <ckf@k...> on Mon, 1 Jul 2002 16:33:23 +0100

Hi,
In VB, you can use the VAL() command to display numeric values from a text
string. I know this command is not supported in VBScript, so does anyone
know a way around this?
The text string for example is: "3.5/H"
Any ideas as to how I can replicate this function in VBScript?
Thanks in advance
Craig.

What is it that you are trying to return from the string given in your

I wanted to get the 3.5 from the "3.5/h"
The string could be anything such as "7/a"
So far, my only thought is to use the split command with "/" as the
delimiter.
I just wondered if there was a better method.
Regards
Craig

dim strInput, intLen
intLen = len(strInput)-instrrev(strInput, "/")
mid(strInput, 1, intLen)
Didn't test it...

May be its better to check each letter?!
resValue=""
for i=0 to Len(txtStr)
curLetter = Mid(txtStr,i,0)
if isNumeric(curLetter) then resValue = resValue & curLetter
next
Hope, it'll help :)

Here you go, Craig.
Just copy the following as some xxx.asp file and execute. This
not only shows you how to do it, but the document will allow you
to test various combinations of characters to see if they contain
a number. The algorithm only tests for numbers at the BEGINNING
of the string. characters allowed are 0-9, + and -.
Hope this helps....
