Problem with Left Function
Error: Mismatched Type
Sunday, May 15, 2005 by Sranshaft | Discussion: DesktopX
Tried using the code here:
[code]
134 If Len(track) > TrackChar Then
135 Track = Left(Track, TrackChar)
136 DesktopX.Object("widget_itunes_track").Text = Track
[/code]
The code keeps coming back as an error though
Type Mismatch: "Left"
Line: 135
Code: (not available)
What could be causing this error? I checked the VBScript website at Microsoft and I am using the function correctly.
Any ideas?

Thankyou thomassen for your reply. The problem seems to be with the Left function itself. TrackChar returns a numeric value and I've tried hard-coding the number as well with no results. The funny thing is both the Right and Mid function work fine.
Any other ideas???

Hmm sometimes I had to do this:
var=var-0
then var is now a numeric value and not a string. No idea why it does that, however!

Or use var=CInt(var) (assuming you are using an Integer) This ensures you get an Integer object. Use CSng or CDbl if you need a floating number.
Sranshaft:
So the values passed on to the Left function is 0 or more and less than the length of the Track string? Left will return an error if the length agrument is less than 0 or higher than the numbers of characters in the string being processed.
