Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	Oh hey, from the manual : quote: The following examples show the correct use of expressions in KiXtart: $X = 1 + "20" ; $X type = integer / value = 21. $X = &10 + &A ; $X type = integer / value = &1A (26). $X = "1" + "20" ; $X type = string / value = '120'. $X = @USERID + "1" ; $X type = string / value = 'USER1'. "Current time = " + @time ; prints: "Current time = 12:34:00" _________________________

Check your manual for CStr(). I think these were introduced in 4.10-ish. It is no better than using "" to cast the type, but it is a bit more formal and it worth looking up to see how to cast (say) doubles and integers using CDbl() and CInt()

Jochen Jochen KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-03-17 Posts: 6380 Loc: Stuttgart, Germany	however, for some of us this may be obvious but be aware : break on $n = 42 $o = 42 $p = 42 cstr($n+$o+$p) ? ; wrong cstr(""+$n+$o+$p) ; correct get $ [ 07.

Richard H. Richard H. Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	Not quite right. You are attempting to catenate the numbers as strings, so the "correct" way to do it is to explicitly cast the individual elements first: code: CStr($n)+CStr($o)+CStr($p) Of course, that is a lot of unnecessary typing when you can use the auto-casting features of KiXtart: code: CStr($n)+$o+$p The left-to-right processing of operators with equal precedence will ensure that this will work as well. This may be a little heavy for Starters
