So Aga, why don't you show us your method, and test the two methods for performance (You might also test the method that Neo mentioned: LEN(STR$(n&)) - 2 ).

oh it is a long story.
You see, "I", "i", "x", "X", "C", "c", "M", and "m" all have a certain number associated with them: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. I can find that number by first getting the array values of the ASC() of the string, which would give 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, or 1000000 and then using LOG to get the number of zeroes.
Or I can just directly use another array utilizing ASC() of the string.
Or maybe I don't even need these values at all. This is for checking the right syntax in a Roman numeral, you see.. Maybe I can redesign it a bit more.

If I'm not wrong, the roman numbers are not case sensitive,
which means that you don't need different entries for f.ex.
"c" and "C" if you use UCASE$ and/or LCASE$.

Yes they are, at least in my program: uppercase shows up as an uppercase Roman Numeral with a bar and lowercase shows up as an uppercase Roman Numeral..
