title: How can I cast authoritatively in asp classic?
body: <p>In asp classic, the <code>cint()</code> function or procedure or whatever it is won't allow me to cast arbitrary strings, like "bob" or "null" or anything like that.  Is there anything that will allow me to simply cast integers, numeric strings, and arbitrary strings to actual integers, with some sane default like 0 for strings?</p>
