Hi!

Normally (in other BASIC languages) "Val(A8)" results "8", but PureBasic doesn't filter the letters and results "178". Is it a bug or a feature?

Best regards,
Martin.

But the val-function has to convert a STRING to a number by filtering all letters. It is unusual in BASIC-dialects for it to convert from a Hex-number.

Has said in the PB Doc :
"TRANSFORM a string into a numeric value. The string must be an integer in decimal format."

I think you're right Cantor, it's not a bug, it looks like a not well named function (as VAL usually filter and not transform the string)...
