I can make one if you want... I suspect there may be a long wait to get this fixed, so its a valid request.

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

making a replacement val() would be simple enough ... and reading would be too as long as you'd be willing to input the position of the file byte

maybe if i was in a programming mood i'd sit here and write what you'd need in your DLL for it - but theres kinda that air sound again when i try to think of coding stuff.

so i'll see about tonight when i have time to actually turn on my brain
by which time no doubt someone will've beat me to it

A string to VAL command will be no problem. Reading a float from a file will be harder. I'll let you know when the former has been done.

thanks mate I recon you got yourself a gem there. I needed it because I wrote a lightwave scene exporter but without the decimals it gets a bit hard transfering scale, location, angle, hehe. otherwise it works.

I dont know whether Lee will be doing a 'proper' float VAL command or not. If so, mine will be temporary.

Toad... for the reading file use a memory pointer and swap the data that way, have the return value what the actual data is - i.e float, dword, word, byte

or you could translate to a string which you use you own VAL command on to make it a value either way is cool

Okay - the routines will be on my web site very shortly. In order to seperate mine from (possibly Lee's), I've called mine VALD and VALF.

This problem was orginally scheduled to be fixed in Patch 3.2, which, obviosuly, they never bothered with.

the read float If i remember right turned say "100.234" into 56.847E6 or somthing close to that. Thats a very big number

The val() chops off any decimal places no rounding up ie

4.345 is 4

Yes, the VAL is for integers, hence the need for VALD and VALF

I told them a while ago now...

If your using VALF/VALD commands directly, then you dont need the LOAD DLL - you would only use that if you called the C functions...

Glad you like the functions...

If you like the Math.dll, you might be interested in the Speech.DLL...

Even typing like Amazon.com now

Ill have a good play. Actually my entry does have alot of speech in it. I was going to MP3 it. But to save time I could use your dll in that, then do the MP3's at a later date. hmm

I did a function a little while ago which could convert a string to a real with a precission up to 5 decimals. It could easily be extended to do more decimals, but that would not be necessary because of the inaccurateness of the real.

Try this and see for yourself:
Number#=10.0
Print Str$(Number#)

Patherfinder - I presume your talking about Speech - if so, then the computer that you want the program on has to have Microsoft's SAPI run-time system, otherwise, of course you wont get anything...
