WOct
Converts a number to a Unicode octal representation
Syntax
`
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
`
Usage
`
result = WOct( number [, digits ] )
`
Parameters
`number`
Number to convert to octal representation.
`digits`
Desired 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)
`
will produce the output:

    152061
    2061
    00152061
