Syntax:
var = StringToWord(string) 'Supports decimal Word range strings only.Command Availability:
Available on all microcontrollers
Explanation:
The StringToWord function will extract a number from a string variable, and store it in a Word variable. One potential use is reading numbers
that are sent in ASCII format over a serial connection.
The StringToWord function will not extract a StringToWord from a hexadecimal string.
