			FUNCTION: Eval() Implemented in version 5.0 Eval(Expression) The Eval function takes a single argument, evaluates it as a VBScript expression, and returns the result of this evaluation. If the expression is of the form a = b, it is treated as an equality comparison. If the comparison is true, then True is returned. Otherwise, False is returned. There is a statement, Execute, which is similar in operation to the Eval function. Execute differs in that it interprets a string expression as one or a series of statments to be executed, and in the fact that it does not return a value. Code: <% ThisVar = 5.556 AnotherVar = 5.556 %> <% =Eval("ThisVar = AnotherVar") %> Output: true Code: <% MyVar = Eval("CInt(12345.6789)") %> <% =MyVar %> Output: 12345
