Added new _STRCMP and _STRICMP commands for quick string comparisons. Cleaned up QB64 to finish removing the QUI (quick user insert) code and folders. Altered UCASE and LCASE routines to be faster in some situations for us.

The '''CVS''' function converts 2 byte [[GET]] or [[MKS$]] [[STRING]] values to [[SINGLE]] floating decimal numerical values.

::::::''Syntax:'' CVS(''2-byte string'')
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Numeric values read in from a [[RANDOM]]-access or [[BINARY]] disk file must be converted from [[ASCII]] string characters back into numbers if they are to be arithmetically manipulated.
|
|
* [[SINGLE]] values can range up to 7 decimal point digits. Decimal point accuracy depends on whole value places taken.
|
|
* [[CVS]] converts a 4-byte string created by [[MKS$]] to a [[SINGLE]]-precision numerical value.
|
|
* [[CVD]] converts an 8-byte string created by [[MKD$]] to a [[DOUBLE]]-precision numerical value.
|
|
* [[CVI]] converts a 2-byte string created by [[MKI$]] to an [[INTEGER]] numerical value.
|
|
* [[CVL]] converts a 4 byte string created by [[MKL$]] to a [[LONG]] integer numerical value.
|
|
* CV functions can only be used to convert values from [[MK$]] string function values or data from [[BINARY]] files!

''Examples:''
|
|
{{CodeStart}} '' ''
|
|
{{Cl|FIELD}} #1, 4 {{Cl|AS}} N$, 12 {{Cl|AS}} B$...
|
|
{{Cl|GET}} #1
|
|
Y = {{Cl|CVS}}(N$) '' ''
|
|
{{CodeEnd}}
|
|
:''Explanation:'' Reads a field from file #1, and converts the first four bytes (N$) into a single-precision number assigned to the variable Y.
|
|
|
|
:Since a single-precision number can contain as many as seven ASCII characters (seven bytes), writing a file using [[MKS$]] conversion, and reading with the [[CVS]] conversion, as many as three bytes per number recorded are saved on the storage medium. Even more may be saved if double-precision numbers are required. [[MKD$]] and [[CVD]] conversions would be used in this case.
