WOct
 
Converts a number to a Unicode octal representation

Syntax
Usage

result = WOct( number [, digits ] )

Parameters

number
Number to convert to octal representation.
digits
Desired number of digits in the returned string.

Return Value

The Unicode octal representation of the number, truncated or padded with zeros ("0") to fit the number of digits, if specified.

Description

Returns the octal WString (Unicode) representation of number. Octal digits range from 0 to 7.

If you specify digits > 0, the result string will be exactly that length. It will be truncated or padded with zeros on the left, if necessary.

The length of the returned string will not be longer than the maximum number of digits required for the type of number (3 characters for Byte, 6 for Short, 11 for Long, and 22 for LongInt)

Example

Print WOct(54321)
Print WOct(54321, 4)
Print WOct(54321, 8)


will produce the output:

152061
2061
00152061
