How to convert text to numbers in FoxPro?

@antone 

In FoxPro, you can use the VAL() function to convert a string of text to a number. For example, you could use the following code to convert the string "1234" to the number 1234:

1

num = VAL("1234")

You can also use the INT() function to convert a string to an integer, or the CTOD() function to convert a string to a date.

1
2

num = INT("1234")
date = CTOD("2022-01-01")

Keep in mind that if the text cannot be converted to a number, VAL() will return 0.

To convert text to numbers in FoxPro, you can use the VAL() function. Here's an example:

1
2

text = "1234"
num = VAL(text)

In this example, the VAL() function converts the string "1234" to the number 1234 and assigns it to the variable num.

If you want to convert a string to an integer, you can use the INT() function. Here's an example:

1
2

text = "1234"
integer = INT(text)

In this example, the INT() function converts the string "1234" to the integer 1234 and assigns it to the variable integer.

Similarly, if you want to convert a string to a date, you can use the CTOD() function. Here's an example:

1
2

text = "2022-01-01"
date = CTOD(text)

In this example, the CTOD() function converts the string "2022-01-01" to the date format and assigns it to the variable date.

Note that if the string cannot be converted to a number, VAL() will return 0. So it's important to perform any necessary validation before converting the text to numbers.
