Title: Converting from Hex to numbers
Post by: chrisc on March 20, 2018, 07:57:51 PM

in PB we use the VAL function to convert Hex to numbers as below

Code: [Select]

local tempnum as Long
 tempnum = VAL("&H" +"5E65A486")


 do you have an equivalent function in O2?

Yes, we also have val, but o2 will convert strings to numbers and vice-versa automatically.

Code: [Select]

local tempnum as Long
tempnum = VAL("&H" +"5E65A486")
tempnum = VAL("0x" +"5E65A486")
tempnum = "0x"+"5E65A486"
tempnum = "&h5E65A486"
