This module can be used to convert numbers into string representation of numbers or vice versa.

• Hex
• Oct
• Bin
• Val
• Str

Hex

  Function Hex(value As varType) As String 
  Function Hex(value As varType, padCount As Byte, Optional padChar As Char = "0") As String

• value - The number to convert. The argument can be of type Byte, SByte, UShort, Short, UInteger or Integer
• padCount- An optional parameter which will pack the left hand side of the returned string with padCount - length of character zeros.
• padChar- An optional parameter which changes the default packing character of "0" (zero).

This function will convert a number and return a hexadecimal string representation of the number passed. Optional padCount and padChar arguments can be used to format the returned string value. For example:

dim myString as string = Hex(128)       ' result is "80"
dim myString as string = Hex(128,4)     ' result is "0080" 
dim myString as string = Hex(128,4,"#") ' result is "##80"  

Oct

 Function Oct(value As varType) As String
 Function Oct(value As varType, padCount As Byte, Optional padChar As Char = "0") As String

• value - The number to convert. The argument can be of type Byte, SByte, UShort, Short, UInteger or Integer
• padCount- An optional parameter which will pack the left hand side of the returned string with padCount - length of character zeros.
• padChar- An optional parameter which changes the default packing character of "0" (zero).

This function will convert a number and return an octal string representation of the number passed. Optional padCount and padChar arguments can be used to format the returned string value. For example:

dim myString as string = Oct(8)       ' result is "10"
dim myString as string = Oct(8,4)     ' result is "0010" 
dim myString as string = Oct(8,4,"#") ' result is "##10"   

Bin

 Function Bin(value As varType) As String
 Function Bin(value As varType, padCount As Byte, Optional padChar As Char = "0") As String

• value - The number to convert. The argument can be of type Byte, SByte, UShort, Short, UInteger or Integer
• padCount- An optional parameter which will pack the left hand side of the returned string with padCount - length of character zeros.
• padChar- An optional parameter which changes the default packing character of "0" (zero).

This function will convert a number and return an binary string representation of the number passed. Optional padCount and padChar arguments can be used to format the returned string value. For example:

dim myString as string = Bin(15)       ' result is "1111"
dim myString as string = Bin(15,8)     ' result is "00001111" 
dim myString as string = Bin(15,8,"#") ' result is "####1111"   

Val

 Function Val(value As String) As Integer

• value - The string number to convert.

This function will convert a string representation of a decimal integer number into an integer type. For example,

dim value as byte = val("123") ' result = 123

Str

 Function Str(value As varType) As String
 Function Str(value As varType, padCount As Byte, Optional padChar As Char = "0") As String

• value - The number to convert. The argument can be of type Byte, SByte, UShort, Short, UInteger or Integer
• padCount- An optional parameter which will pack the left hand side of the returned string with padCount - length of character zeros.
• padChar- An optional parameter which changes the default packing character of "0" (zero).

This function will convert a number and return an decimal string representation of the number passed. Optional padCount and padChar arguments can be used to format the returned string value. For example:

dim myString as string = Str(123)       ' result is "123"
dim myString as string = Str(123,4)     ' result is "0123" 
dim myString as string = Str(123,4,"#") ' result is "#123"
