BIGINT from string

General
1

I need to convert a string to an Int64 but can’t find an easy way:

dim s as string = “9223372036854775807"

This produce rounding errors, due to the floating point:

dim i as Int64 = val(s)

This doesn’t work:

dim i as Int64 =CType(s, “Int64”)

This works, but seems dumb to pass from a variant to convert it:

dim v as variant = s dim i as Int64 = v.Int64Value

Any ideas?

dim s as string = “9223372036854775807”
dim i as Int64 = clong(s)

seems to work.

Ups! Never imagined about CLong.
Thanks!
