Syntax
numberCFString = str( numericExpr )
numberPascalString = str$( numericExpr )
Description
This function returns a string consisting of the characters in the decimal representation of numericExpr. If the number is non-negative, then numberCFString or numberPascalString will also have a leading space character (if the number is negative, the first character will be the minus sign). str and str$ format the number in a reasonable way; if you need the number to appear in a special format, use string functions such as using, hex, etc.
Generally speaking, str$ is the inverse of the val function, and str is the inverse of the intval or dblval functions.
