Syntax: A = STR(3,$(n))
Description:
Returns numbers in a string as a real number. Similar to VAL in other Basics. Leading spaces are ignored.
First non-number terminates conversion at last valid number. No valid numbers return 0. Number length is
limited to the first 12 valid numbers and decimal in a string. This means a number no greater than
9999999999999 is converted to a number.
Example: 10 STRING 100,20
20 $(2) = "-23.452volts"
30 A= STR(3,$(2))
40
PRINT A
run
-23.452
Syntax: A = STR(4,$(n))
Description:
Trims spaces to left of first non-space character. Variable A returns length of trimmed string.
Example: 10 STRING 100,20
20 $(0) = " 1234"
30 A = STR(4,$(0))
40
PRINT $(0)
50 PRINT A
run
1234
4
Syntax: A = STR(5,$(n))
Description:
Trims spaces from right side of string. Variable A returns length of trimmed string.
Example: 10 STRING 100,20
20 $(0) = "ABCDE "
30 A = STR(5,$(0))
40
PRINT $(0)
50 PRINT A
run
ABCDE
5
Syntax: A = STR(6,$(x),$(y))
A = STR(6,$(x),"string")
Description:
Appends one string into another. This function concatenates two strings in the form of $(x) = $(x) + $(y).
Length of new string is returned in variable A. The variable $(y) could be a quoted string.
Example: 10 STRING 120,40
20 $(0)="First part"
30 $(1)=" Second part"
40 A = STR(6,$(0),$(1))
50
PRINT $(0)
60 PRINT "Length:",A
70 A = STR(6,$(0)," last part")
80
PRINT $(0)
90 PRINT "Length:",A
run
First part Second part
Length: 22
First part Second part last part
Length: 32
Lines 50 and 80 print the concatenated string $(0).
