Add does not work

[Biznez]

Hi, not sure why this is not adding. Substract, divide and multiply all work but does not add, instead it puts the numbers together

Trim(Sess0.Screen.GetString(12, 59, 10)) + Trim(Sess0.Screen.GetString(14, 39, 12))

thanks!

HI,

Convert both string values to integer or some other numeric type. The PLUS sign will concatenate strings, while it seems that the other operators will force a string to number conversion prior to performing the math.

ahhhh ok this worked fine...Thanks again Skip!

WorksheetFunction.Sum(Trim(Sess0.Screen.GetString(12, 59, 10)), Trim(Sess0.Screen.GetString(14, 39, 12)))

Well, you posted in Attachmate, that has NOTHING to do with Excel, although you may be coding in VBA. In the Extra Basic editor you would...

CInt(Trim(Sess0.Screen.GetString(12, 59, 10))) + CInt(Trim(Sess0.Screen.GetString(14, 39, 12)))
