WOct
Converts a number to a Unicode octal representation
Declare Function WOct ( ByVal number As UByte ) As WString
Declare Function WOct ( ByVal number As UShort ) As WString
Declare Function WOct ( ByVal number As Ulong ) As WString
Declare Function WOct ( ByVal number As ULongInt ) As WString
Declare Function WOct ( ByVal number As Const Any Ptr ) As WString
Declare Function WOct ( ByVal number As UByte, ByVal digits As Long ) As WString
Declare Function WOct ( ByVal number As UShort, ByVal digits As Long ) As WString
Declare Function WOct ( ByVal number As Ulong, ByVal digits As Long ) As WString
Declare Function WOct ( ByVal number As ULongInt, ByVal digits As Long ) As WString
Declare Function WOct ( ByVal number As Const Any Ptr, ByVal digits As Long ) As WString
result = WOct( number [, digits ] )
number
The Unicode octal representation of the number, truncated or padded with zeros ("0") to fit the number of digits, if specified.
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)
will produce the output:

Parameters
number
Number to convert to octal representation.
digitsDesired 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)
Print WOct(54321, 4)
Print WOct(54321, 8)
will produce the output:
152061 2061 00152061
