Converting string to integer

Question

PrinterLabel = Printer + PrinterNumber

If Floors = 1 And (PrinterLabel) > 127 Then 
    Wscript.Echo "Invalid Printer11 Selection "    
    Wscript.Quit
End If

If Floors = 2 And PrinterLabel > 220 Then 
    Wscript.Echo "Invalid Printerss Selection "    
    Wscript.Quit
End If

The problem is that PrinterLabel is a String and I want to convert it to an Int and compare it.

The PrinterLabel is a String that is also a number "218"

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

The function you need is CInt.

ie CInt(PrinterLabel)

See Type Conversion Functions (Visual Basic) on MSDN

Edit: Be aware that CInt and its relatives behave differently in VB.net and VBScript. For example, in VB.net, CInt casts to a 32-bit integer, but in VBScript, CInt casts to a 16-bit integer. Be on the lookout for potential overflows!
