Evaluate a formula given as string

50 New Member
Hello.....


In my program I have 3 variables, say

a = 10
b = 20
c = 30

I have a variable as string
vformula = "a + b + c"

I have to evaluate the formula and get the result as 60
ie ; myanswer = SOMEFUNCTION(vf ormula).

I tried using Scriptcontrol.E VAL function. But I can use only " 10 + 20 + 30".
Also, when I browse thru net I found something lilke CInt(a) + CInt(b) + CInt(c). This is also not applicable since I wont be knowing the formula & variables in advance.

Pls Help, thanks in advance....

Regards
Reshmi

I suggest you try the search box, up top. This question has come up before. The answer, as I recall, involved the use of the MS Scripting Runtime.

Hello

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried Script Control, but using this I can evaluate only " 10 + 20 + 30" not "a + b + c".

Hm... not sure how you'd go about this.

At the simplest level, of course, if you know the variable names that can be used, you could do a substitution in the string before submitting it for processing. In other words, replace a with the value of a, b with the value of b, and so on.

Hey, again! How to evaluate a formula (stored in a field as "X / 60") replacing the "X" with a number? I replaced the "X" with a selected number but can't figure out how to obtain the result... Let's say X / 60, replace X with 120, my variable contains "120 / 60". Now, how do I get the resulting value? EVAL (MyVar) ?? Thanks
