Re: [amibroker] Re: How to convert a string to non-string characters?!

["Tomasz Janeczko" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You do not want to convert from string to number.

What you really want is to EVALUATE arithmetic expressions !

For that you need to either write parser/interpreter or  use external onee

Thanks to AmiBroker JScript support you can use for example JScript eval function.

 

 

EnableScript("JScript");
<%

%>

function Evaluate( text )
{
  so = GetScriptObject();
  return so.eval( text );
}

"The result is " + Evaluate("3 + 2");

Subject: [amibroker] Re: How to convert a string to non-string characters?!

Or to take a more trivial example, the following prints "3" instead of "12":

VarSetText("Condition1", "3 + 4 + 5");

Total = StrToNum (VarGetText("Condition1"));

printf ("Sum %g", Total);

How do I convert the above string so that Total is equal to the _expression_ itself, which is equal to 12?
