i have a string called 'strPrice' with the value '12.34'
i need to put it in an integer called intPrice

i use the code:

<%
intPrice = int(strPrice)
%>

But it just rounds it to '12' or '13', remocing the decimal places.

I NEED to keep the decimal places. how can i do this in 1 simple function similar to INT or cINT?

You can email me at avisonjohn@yahoo.co.uk if you need to.

Thank you in advance.

I think you want to use cDbl()

Although you should be able to do just, intPrice = strPrice, as all variables are defined as Varients anyway.

I tend to use FormatNumber when working with prices or if you want to add the currency symbol to it and work with it like currency then you should convert it into a currency data type with CCur.

Sorry, I forgot to say that if you are wanting to put it into an integer then your experience is correct - integer types are all whole numbers, double and long integer types can have decimal places. So if you need to work with the decimals then you'd be better off working with something other than an integer.

Cool, i forgot about this thread, was just searching for my username on the internet and found this. cool. forgot why i asked the qeustion, but remember it was for something...... ah well. cheers anyway guys
