VBScript: Converting and Formatting with Functions
(Page 1 of 5 )
In our last tutorial, I tried to cover as many of the Conversion and Formatting functions of VBScript as possible. As it turned out, I only got halfway through the Conversion functions. This time, I will get through the rest of the Conversion functions, and maybe even get to the Formatting functions.
In fact, this time, I vow to get through at least the rest of the Conversions, or my name isn't Big James Stud. It's a lot to cover, and I really want my name to stay Big James Stud, so let's stop all the yapping and get to tapping. On the keyboard.
Here's the table I know you missed so badly:
