VB's Val equivalent in ASP 1

[EchoAlertcom]

Hello,

Sorry the subject didn't match my question. Here is again.

Hello,

Could some one tell me what the equivalent of Val from VB is in ASP.

Here is my example:

dPageSize = Val(Trim(Mid(sResponse, Len("Content-Length:") + 1, lFoundAt - (Len("Content-Length:") + 1))))

Sincerely,
Steve Funk

I'm no expert but I believe that in VB the Val is used to convert the value to a varient. In ASP every variable is a varient, although you can force a variable type. i.e.,;

intHeadCount = Cint(variable)

or intHeadCount = Cint(intReservations) + Cint(intAtDoor)

This allows you to make sure that the variables are treated the way you want so that it doesn't bomb when you run it.

Additionally, can NOT declare variable types in ASP, i.e.;

DIM intHeadCount as Integer
