Convert boolean value to String
Hello,
we want to control the IBAN bank number, with the code below we can get the (Boolean) value back as True or False, but we need to put the value in a normal value (string) to work with.
We work with ASP Classic.
Can you help us?
Thanks.

We need to check if a Belgian IBAN account number is correct.
This is the url where we do the check:
http://www.ibanbic.be/IBANBIC.asmx?op=controleIBAN
When we enter a correct IBAN account number we get the value "true", so it not automatically get "false" back.
When we try your code we get the followin error:
--------------------------
Runtimefout Microsoft VBScript error '800a000d'
Type does not match: '[string: "<?xml version="1.0" "]'
check_iban_db.asp, line 31
--------------------------

Or this:
''
IBANCHECK = Trim(Left(Right(xmlHttp.ResponseText, 15), 5))
''
No objection to closure as such.
One suggestion is to implement a solution which is not error-prone. The current will fail at the slightest change in response text.
The ideal way to do it would be to load the response in the XMLDocument, search the node and then extract the value. A dedicated function would be nice to have.
I concur; I merely refactored the multiple lines of code into a single line as posted by rogerspain.
Hello,
I just checked and the returned XML response is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<boolean xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">false</boolean>
As you are using ResponseText property, you will probably get 'false' as a string in IBANCHECK variable anyway.
As a first attempt, have you already tried printing that value? Also try using following to be sure that it is indeed a boolean variable.
IF IBANCHECK THEN
Response.Write("Yes it is TRUE")
ELSE
Response.Write("No it is FALSE")
END IF
To convert it to boolean (or any intrinsic data-type for that matter) to string use CStr function as in
strIBANCHECK = CStr(IBANCHECK)
Hope it helps!
