Casting "" as an integer

[kirk2364]

What exactly happens when I caste a null character as an integer (i.e. CInt("&quot). When assigning the result to a variable, is the variable just populated with 0, or with a null character or what?

It won't work.
You should get an error something along the lines of "invalid parameter to cInt function" Mise Le Meas,

Actually, this is what you get:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'cInt'

So I need to explicitly set the variable to 0?

if varName = "" then
   varName = 0
end if

There's no easier way to do this?

If you are going to have several calls to cInt then you could just write your own cInt function. Something along the lines of:

function myCInt(value)
if value = "" then myCInt = 0
else myCInt = cInt(value)
end function

Then in the main body of your code all you need is:

varname = myCInt(value) Mise Le Meas,

smart. Thanks!

Forgot the end if:

function myCInt(value)
if value = "" then myCInt = 0
else myCInt = cInt(value)
end if
end function
