Does VBS have a to string method?

[dizou]

If it does not, how would I go about converting ints, doubles, longs, etc to a string? Thanks.

Yes, VBScript has conversion methods for variable types.

• CBool() - Convert to Boolean Type
• CByte() - Convert to Byte Value
• CCur() - Convert to Currency Type
• CDate() - Convert to Date Value
• CDbl() - Convert to a Double Value
• CInt() - Convert to Integer Value
• CLng() - Convert to Long Integer Value
• CSng() - Convert to a Single Value
• CStr() - Convert to String Value

Ok thanks.
What would happen if I used CDbl or CInt on a string without any numbers in it?

[PeejAvery]

It should return 0.

IMHO, you could test whether or not a number is present first, before converting it. - Call me old fashioned, but to me, it just makes a bit more sense.

It should return 0.

Shouldn't it be type mismatch? To be honest I don't do VBS but they should be similar to VB6.0 and the following code raises an error.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    MsgBox CInt("x")
End Sub

Yes, it does. I was confusing it with an old basic language.

Thanks for the clarification, in my part and for the OP's sake also.
