function CStr(expression) As String

Converts expression to a specific data type.

If you convert strings to numerical values, you should ensure that the string contains a correct number.

Example:

Dim i, s

i = CInt("123.44")

' returns i = 123

i = CInt("1.123,99")

' returns 1123

i = CInt("1.aa123,99")

' returns 1

i = CInt(ExtractDigits("1.aa123,99"))

' returns 112399

s = CStr(1123)

' returns s = "1123"
