strtolk

strtolk — Converts a string to a signed integer (k-rate).

Description

Convert a string to a floating point value at i- or k-rate. It is also possible to pass an strset index or a string p-field from the score instead of a string argument. If the string cannot be parsed as a floating point or integer number, an init or perf error occurs and the instrument is deactivated.

[Note] Note

If a k-rate index variable is used, it should be valid at i-time as well.

Syntax

kr strtolk Sstr
kr strtolk kndx

strtolk can parse numbers in decimal, octal (prefixed by 0), and hexadecimal (with a prefix of 0x) format.

Performance

kr -- Value of string as signed integer.

Sstr -- String to convert.

indx -- index of string set by strset
