Is there an shortcut for this? I am converting string variables passed via
<FORM> Post to Single Numbers, so calculations can be done on the variables.
The following code does the job fine, unless a NULL value is passed. Then,
the VBScript chokes.
r1 = CSng(request.form("r1")
r2 = CSng(request.form("r2"))
r3 = CSng(request.form("r3"))
r4 = CSng(request.form("r4"))
r5 = CSng(request.form("r5"))
I can do something like this in place of each line:
if IsNull(request.form("r1")) then
r1 = 0
else
r1 = CSng(r1)
end if
However, I have not five, but 84 such passed variables. A For/Next statement
would be nice to populate the "r" with 1 through 5 suffixes, but can I do
this in this case given the string type in the request.form? Any advice?
(I also have to filter for any alphabetics erroneously passed, but that's
another issue.)
