- Type: Float
The value to convert.
Return Value
Type:
String
A string representing a floating point number.
Remarks
F2Bin() is a conversion function that converts a string to a floating point number. Typical applications include reading foreign file types in their native format and then saving, reading, decrypting, and transmitting numeric data in their compressed binary form instead of in strings.
Its inverse is Bin2F().
Examples
This example saves the return value from the Seconds() function into a debugging binary file:
1FUNCTION StoreData() AS LOGIC
2 LOCAL nh
3 LOCAL lSuccess := FALSE AS LOGIC
4 nh := FOpen2("debug.bin", FO_READWRITE)
5
6 IF nh != F_ERROR
7 FWrite(nh, F2Bin(Seconds()))
8 FClose(nh)
9 lSuccess := TRUE
10 ELSE
11 ? DOSErrString(FError())
12 ENDIF
13 RETURN lSuccess
