How to use Format() procedure in VBScript

Question

I would need some help with the Format function. I would to like this function in order to use scientific notation for my calculations. I understood that you should use Format(number,"e") to achieve this but I am constantly getting a runtime error saying that there was a type mismatch. Any suggestion?

Thanks

Use a .NET StringBuilder:

>> Set sb = CreateObject("System.Text.StringBuilder")
>> sb.AppendFormat "{0:E}", 1234.5678
>> WScript.Echo sb.ToString()
>>
1,234568E+003
