#134172 - 2005-02-20 09:24 AM HELP ! Strings and math is like me and clean office desks....
Bjoern Bjoern Fresh Scripter Registered: 2005-02-20 Posts: 9	Yep... It just doesn't work !!!! I'm having problems with a simple mathematical operation with data received from an INI-file. Data I receive from the INI-file goes to $data. After I received the data, I want it to add by one (+1), and store the new data in $counter. What I've done is: $counter = $data + 1 Let's say I receive 5 from the INI-file. $data would then naturally be 5, and then starts the problem... I do the mathematical operation, but $counter does not end up as 6 ! It ends up as 51... WHY !?!?!?!? WHY !?!?!?!? I want it to do math, not... hmm... that ! Any solutions on this problem, guys ??

Im assuming the data you are trying to add 1 to is already assigned to a variable, in this example we'll call it $data. There are a few built in kix functions that will make the variable into an integer. Int() for example. If you look at the code below, $counter1 will return 51 to the screen where as $counter2 will return the desired 6 since $data was changed to an integer before the math was performed. Code: $data = "5" $counter1 = $data+1 $counter2 = Int($data)+1 ? $counter1 ? $counter2 get $ Of course if i didnt put quotes around the 5 to begin with it would already be treated as an integer, so we would have to see you code to say exactly whats goin on. Something like Int() should solve your problem however.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Huh? Wahts all that code for? Just add the var to the integer instead of the other way around. $Data = 1 + ReadProfileString('bla','bla','bla') If you start with an integer, KiX will convert the rest for you. The inverse is also true. Code: Break On $str = "1" $int = 1 $strResult = $str + $int 'Result = '+ $strResult + ' is ' + VarTypeName($strResult) ? $intResult = $int + $str 'Result = '+ $intResult + ' is ' + VarTypeName($intResult) ? _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

ShaneEP ShaneEP MM club member Registered: 2002-11-29 Posts: 2127 Loc: Tulsa, OK	Wahhh...here ya go ok so yours saves 5 keystrokes with... $Data = 1 + ReadProfileString('bla','bla','bla') instead of... $Data = Int(ReadProfileString('bla','bla','bla')) + 1 I myself would prefer the 2nd just cause its easier to follow, but thats just me.
