FUNCTION:  Eval()

Implemented in version 5.0
 
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.
 
Code:
<%
ThisVar = 5.556
AnotherVar = 5.556
%>
<% =Eval("ThisVar = AnotherVar") %>

 
Output:
true
 
Code:
<% MyVar = Eval("CInt(12345.6789)") %>
<% =MyVar %>

 
Output:
12345
