Hi all,
my visual basic is real weak and am trying to work out how to use the functions as given in the examples.
can't get the following to work

function Upper(S: string): string

keep getting MS VBScript error :1006 Expected ')' Line 10, Column 17

anyone give me a little script to demonstate it to me?

thanks in advance

There is no VBscript function called Upper. I think you are thinking of UCase:

//Empty VBSTART/VBEND block just to tell script to use VBScript
VBSTART
VBEND
Let>str>Hello World
VBEval>UCase("%str%"),str

Ah - you mentioned VBScript so I thought you meant the UpperCase function. The complex expression functions can be used in If> or Let> statements:

Let>somestring=freddy
Let>somestring={Upper(%somestring%)}

This will set somestring to FREDDY.

Thanks for your swift reply.

I assumed it was vb script, now i understand how it is implemented.
