Details

Can be invoked implicitly, through the string_var= long_var expression (see example below). Compiler is smart enough to pre-calculate constant-only expressions involving implicit use of lstri function.

Examples

dim l as long

dim s as string

l= -5123

s = lstri(l) 'explicit invocation.

s = l 'implicit invocation

s = lstri(-20) 'will be calculated at compilation -- no actual lstri function invokation will be here
