Eval

Version: 5.0

Syntax:: Eval(Expression)

The Eval function takes a single argument, evaluates it as a VBScript expression, and returns the result of this evaluation.

If the expression is of the form a = b, it is treated as an equality comparison. If the comparison is true, then True is returned. Otherwise, False is returned.

There is a statement, Execute, which is similar in operation to the Eval function. Execute differs in that it interprets a string expression as one or a series of statments to be executed, and in the fact that it does not return a value.

Examples

Code:

<%


ThisVar = 5.556


AnotherVar = 5.556


%>


<% =Eval("ThisVar = AnotherVar") %>

Output:

true

Language(s): VBScript

<% MyVar = Eval("CInt(12345.6789)") %>
