Vista - String to int conversion

Hi,

I have a string str which can take any odd values from 01 to 99. I
need to convert that to the next positive number.

Therefore 03 becomes 04
25 becomes 26
01 becomes 02

With the code I have below I get 03 to be 4. So I loose the 0 which is
crucial to me. Any suggestions as to how to solve this issue.


str="03"
str=Cint(str) + 1
wscript.echo str


Thanks,
SA

(assuming always 2 digits) would be:

str = "03"
str = Right("0" & CStr(CInt(str) + 1), 2)
Wscript.Echo str

ASIDE - it appears that one cannot (one can in JavaScript) apply unary
plus and convert String to Number - document.write +"03" gives '03'.
But one can apply unary minus and convert - document.write -"03" gives
'-3' and one can apply it twice - document.write --"03" gives '3' .

In so many other uses of string+number, I have seen that the result is
string concatenation. Why this simple usage works is a mystery to me.

Oh, I understand what happens, under the covers. VBScript attempts to
coerce the two values being "added" to the same data type, using
VariantChangeTypeEx. But it has been my experience *many* times in the past
that the preferred conversion is integer to string (so that then the +
operator causes concatenation). Wish I had a handy example; if I find one
I'll repost. But anyway, clearly in a simple situation such as this (one
string, one integer) it works exactly as you would want it to.

I wonder if the precendence (string vs. number) has changed between VBS 3
and VBS 5? Because when I was working in the source code of VBS 3 (about
1999), I pretty clearly remember it the other way around. Oh, well. Maybe
not. Maybe senility has set in.
