[RESOLVED] Evaluation problem

[Doogle]

Your main problem is that "^" is not the Exponentiation Operator in javascript (it's a bitwise XOR operation so the results you're seeing are, in fact, quite correct) . I don't believe there is a native exponentiation operator in javascript and you'd normally use the Math.pwr function. (which wont work with the MSScript control's Eval Method) Any particular reason you're using javascript as opposed to vbscript ?

Temp = ScriptControl.Eval("2 * 3")

works fine

EDIT: as does

MSScriptControl.Language = "vbscript"
Dim Temp As Double
Temp = MSScriptControl.Eval("2^5")
Debug.Print Temp

@JM: The Eval Method of MSScript expects a valid expression in a string as the argument.
