Val Function 

  • 發行項

Returns the numbers contained in a string as a numeric value of appropriate type.

Public Overloads Function Val(ByVal InputStr As String) As Double
' -or-
Public Overloads Function Val(ByVal Expression As Object) As Double
' -or-
Public Overloads Function Val(ByVal Expression As Char) As Integer

Parameters

  • Expression, InputStr
    Required. Any valid String expression, Object variable, or Char value. If Expression is of type Object, its value must be convertible to String or an ArgumentException error occurs.

Exceptions

Exception type Error number Condition

OverflowException

6

InputStr is too large.

InvalidCastException

13

Number is badly formed.

ArgumentException

438

Object type expression not convertible to String.

See the "Error number" column if you are upgrading Visual Basic 6.0 applications that use unstructured error handling. (You can compare the error number against the Number Property (Err Object).) However, when possible, you should consider replacing such error control with Structured Exception Handling Overview for Visual Basic.

Remarks

The Val function stops reading the string at the first character it cannot recognize as part of a number. Symbols and characters that are often considered parts of numeric values, such as dollar signs and commas, are not recognized. However, the function recognizes the radix prefixes &O (for octal) and &H (for hexadecimal). Blanks, tabs, and linefeed characters are stripped from the argument.

The following call returns the value 1615198.

Val(" 1615 198th Street N.E.") 

The following call returns the decimal value -1.

Val("&HFFFF") 

Note

The Val function recognizes only the period (.) as a valid decimal separator. When different decimal separators are used, as in international applications, use CDbl or CInt instead to convert a string to a number. To convert the string representation of a number in a particular culture to a numeric value, use the numeric type's Parse(String, IFormatProvider) method. For example, use System.Double.Parse(System.String,System.IFormatProvider) when converting a string to a Double.

Example

The following example uses the Val function to return the numbers contained in each string. Val stops converting at the first character that cannot be interpreted as a numeric digit, numeric modifier, numeric punctuation, or white space.

Dim valResult As Double
' The following line of code sets valResult to 2457.
valResult = Val("2457")
' The following line of code sets valResult to 2457.
valResult = Val(" 2 45 7")
' The following line of code sets valResult to 24.
valResult = Val("24 and 57")
