I would like to know if there is any function in VB by which you can 'parse' a string containing a sum, like "1+1", and get a number containing the result. JavaScript has the eval() function which you can use for this purpose, but I have not been able to find any such function in VB. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am not sure if there is any function in VB to do so, but I can create a simply one by using Split() function. As following:
===
Private Function GetSum(strTheSumString As String) As Long
Dim str() As String
Dim intRV As Integer
str = Split(strTheSumString, "+")
intRV = CInt(str(0)) + CInt(str(1))
GetSum = intRV
End Function
===
Good luck!
