Hi,

It would be nice, if Val() could also convert strings like "$FF", or "%11011"
to numbers.

Or what about adding something like ValHex(), and ValBin()

A debugged program is one for which you have not yet found the conditions that make it fail.

That would be handy. In the meantime, if you need hex, try this... call it
like so: dec=hex2dec(hex$).

Code: Select all

Procedure.l hex2dec(h$)
  ; h$ can be 0-FFFFFFF.
  h$=UCase(h$)
  For r=1 To Len(h$)
    d60
      d+Asc(a$)-55
    Else
      d+Asc(a$)-48
    EndIf
  Next
  ProcedureReturn d
EndProcedure

There's a command in the StringLibraryEx 3rd party lib called exactly that

Well, you're right. I should have looked at Paul's site before posting this
