strtol

strtol — Converts a string to a signed integer (i-rate).

Description

Convert a string to a signed integer value. It is also possible to pass an strset index or a string p-field from the score instead of a string argument. If the string cannot be parsed as an integer number, an init error occurs and the instrument is deactivated.

Syntax

ir strtol Sstr
ir strtol indx

Initialization

Sstr -- String to convert.

indx -- index of string set by strset

strtol can parse numbers in decimal, octal (prefixed by 0), and hexadecimal (with a prefix of 0x) format.

Performance
