Gday All, I have discovered what I think is a bug in VAL or maybe I am just stupid or maybe both. a$="a" Print Val(a$) Returns 0 instead of expected 97 And similarly if the string has a value of "&" it returns Error: Invalid prefix I know I am crazy but I dont think I have done anything wrong here. I am using ver 4.6 (not 4.6a or b) Regards, Mick Mick's uMite Stuff can be found >>> HERE (Kindly hosted by Dontronics) <<< |

If it makes you feel any better Mick, I have tripped on that one more then once too. 
Now, if a$="97", then as you know(now!) Print Val(a$) would print 97 on the screen. Still, it is a very useful command when you need it.(Val, I mean) Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Thanks Grogs, I feel good in knowing I am not the only `Goose' in the world. Now you know why I programme with my soldering iron. Mick Mick's uMite Stuff can be found >>> HERE (Kindly hosted by Dontronics) <<< |
