HELP Move string to integer Monday, February 15, 2010 9:19 AM (permalink)

I have a binary field (represented as 12 characters)...   MYFIELD

The first 4 bytes are really an integer (Long) MYLONG   and the next 8 bytes are really a double   MYDBL

We use MYFIELD as an array of char to hold multiple values and multiple data types... in our applicaiton code, we just move the physical memory from variable to variable...

so, MYLONG = 25 and MYDBL = 15438706.0000   and we move them into MYFIELD[1] (for 4) and MYFIELD[5] (for 8)...   getting

MYFIELD = (#25, #0, #0, #0, #0, #0, #0, '@', 'n', 'r', 'm', 'A')

I need (in vbscript) a way to pull out these values back into 2 varibles... but I can't declare integers or doubles and it thinks MYFIELD evaluates as a string... I can do MID() ASC() MIDB() but none of these truly move the memory into a long and double to return my original values...

I really need      DIM MyLong as Int
                          Dim MyDbl as Double

                          MyLong = copy(MYFIELD,1,4)    or    Move(MyField[1],MyLong,4)
                        MyDbl = copy(MYFIELD,5,8)      of     Move(MyField[8],MyDbl,4)

                          response.write MyLong    = 25
                          response.write formatnumber(mydbl) = 15438706.0000

HELP...
