ReadLn In VB

[Jukka]

Question 1)
In scar when i want the user to enter a number i do:

String := ReadLn('Enter text or numbers');

What readln does is it pops up a box which then has the entered text. It returns the answer you give when you press OK, to the string.

What im asking is:

How would i do a this simple statement in Visual basic 6.0?

------------------
Question 2)
In scar to return a random number i do: Random(1000) it then returns a random integer.

How do i do this in Visual basic 6.0?

Another question:

In scar i would do
StrToInt
Which stands for: String To Integer

Is there anything like that in VB?

 

[Govind]

Val()

 

[Terrankiller]

Int()
Str()

 

[Jukka]

The Val() function is slower in the same way that using Variants is slower than String and Integer functions.

wrong.....
val() does a string to double, there are no variants involved....

I didn't say it used Variants. I said it's slower IN THE SAME WAY that variants are slower than integers/strings meaning that it's just to do with weird VB6 variable/function preference. In the same way VB6 will sometimes lag like hell looping through integers but use long variables in your loops and it should run perfectly smooth.
