All Functions
Execute Method
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
