Hi Friends,

I need to use conpeek to get data, but, the data could be string or numeric.

I would like to convert it to string, and don't want to use typeOf to check first, is there a better way to do it?

 

Many thanks,

River

    Why exactly you don't want to use a completely viable solution? How do you define "better"? You could use any2str(), but it's *not* better.

    I think you're just wasting time.

    Hi Martin,

    It's going to happen in a big loop, so, I worry about the typeOf method is going to have performance issue.

    But, sounds like any2str() probably will do same thing as typeOf.

    No, I don't see any reason why it should cause performance issues.  Have you measured it?  If you did, what numbers did you found? If not, how do you know? Did you just randomly choose this function?

    Performance optimizations is a great thing, if it's actually used for what's slowing things down. Otherwise is everything from a waste of time to a cause of serious problems.

    If you want to avoid the type check at runtime, redesign your application so it doesn't need it.
