Language ReferenceStr Function

Description
Returns a string representation of a number.

Syntax

Str(number)

The number argument is any valid numeric expression.

Remarks

When numbers are converted to strings, a leading space is always reserved for the sign of number. If number is positive, the returned string contains a leading space and the plus sign is implied.

The Str function always includes a leading space that is reserved for the sign of number. For positive numbers, this space is left blank; for negative numbers the minus sign (-) appears before the number.


Note The Str function recognizes only the period (.) as a valid decimal separator. When a possibility exists that different decimal separators may be used (for example, in international applications), you should use CStr to convert a number to a string.
