CVS
Converts an four byte string to an single-precision variable
Syntax
`
Declare Function CVS ( ByRef str As Const String ) As Single
`
Usage
`
result = CVS( str )
`
Parameters
`str`
A String exactly four bytes in length with a binary copy of an single-precision variable stored in it.
Return Value
Returns a Single variable to copy the binary copy of a single to.
Description
Does a binary copy from a 4-byte-string to a `Single` variable. The result will have a sense only if the string contained a IEEE754 formated single value, as the one generated by `MKS`.
This function is useful to read numeric values from buffers without using a `Type` definition.
Example
`
Dim a As Single, b As String
a=4534.4243
b=MKS(a)
Print a, CVS(b)
Sleep
`
