String.ToInt64
From Xojo Documentation
Method
Returns the numeric form of a string as an Int64.
Usage
result=stringVariable.ToInt64
| Part | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| result | Int64 | The numeric equivalent of the source String. |
| stringVariable | String | Any variable of type String. |
Notes
The ToInt64 function stops reading the string at the first character it doesn’t recognize as part of a number. All other characters are automatically stripped.
It does recognize prefixes &o (octal), &b (binary), and &h (hexadecimal). However, spaces are not allowed in front of the ampersand. That is, " &hFF" returns 0, but "&hFF" returns 255.
ToInt64 returns zero if string contains no numbers.
Sample Code
This code use the ToInt64 function to return the numbers contained in a string literal or a string variable
Var result As Int64
Var source As String = "12345"
result = source.ToInt64 // returns 12345
source = " 12345"
result = source.ToInt64 // returns 0
source = "123 45"
result = source.ToInt64 // returns 123
source = "&hFFF"
result = source.ToInt64 // returns 4095
source = "&b1111"
result = source.ToInt64 // returns 15
Var source As String = "12345"
result = source.ToInt64 // returns 12345
source = " 12345"
result = source.ToInt64 // returns 0
source = "123 45"
result = source.ToInt64 // returns 123
source = "&hFFF"
result = source.ToInt64 // returns 4095
source = "&b1111"
result = source.ToInt64 // returns 15
