• sin()
• cos()
• tan()
• as well as their corresponding functions (asin() acos() atan() )
• π (Pi as ummm ... a constant ?)
• e (as well)
• pwr() (supporting floating point operations of course)
• sqrt() (cdbl-enabled as well)

functions ?
Anyone else to enhance this list ?
{Maybe some statistical functions for MCA ? }

code:

$x = sqrt(42.23)
? $x

;42.23^4
$x = sqr(42.23,4)
? $x

jtokach ,Jooel wanted me to post those but I told him that they were too Perlish and I might get bashed. But I want them too.

It might be a nice change to get some C based crap in here vs. all the VB.

$myTextFile = readFile("c:\pagefile.sys") ; you need to udf for this :p
$myTextFile = $myTextFile + "some text more"

$myTextFile = readFile("c:\pagefile.sys") ; you need to udf for this :p
$myTextFile += "some text more"

It's been around in C for +30 years; apparently those guys were super lazy too.

All automation stems from laziness. Anyway, to add my two cents...If i remember my c++ correctly (which i might not) the ++ operator is unary. So if you wanted to increment a variable and then compare it to some value, you could do something like

if(++x == y) {...}

instead of

$x = $x+1
if $x = $y ... endif

Man, i really miss c++
