How to define a function that returns a string. 1

[LikeThisName]

basically i would like to write a function that returns a string. (a long string)

i need to be able to call my function like this.

response.write myFunction(someInteger)

function myFunction(myInt as integer) as string
 dim mystring
 mystring =""
 for x=0 to myInt
  mystring = mystring & str(myInt) & vbcrlf
 next
 return mystring
end function

TIA,

Almost right.
vbScript does not support "as"

function myFunction(myInt)
 dim mystring
 mystring = ""
 for x=0 to myInt
  mystring = mystring & Cstr(myInt) & vbcrlf
 next
 myFunction = mystring
end function

not sure why you would want the vbCrLf in there, as in text myFunction(3) would come out as
0
1
2
3

i figured it out almost immediately after i posted it.
thanks though! here is a star.

Chris, what i am actually using it for is i am writing an xml file and i want to call the function to do a database query reading in the myint and the producing the xml tags with the and values returned from the query.

i was just brainlocked and i really appreciate people like you coming to my rescue.
