hello !!! could anybody please tell me if there is such a command which can transform a string ( example "12345" ) into a value ( example integer 12345 ) ... like in Turbo Pascal when you use the VAL command ... thanks

Could you help me treat my injured Dino-Fly ?

Same command.

ST$ = "1234"
myInt = val(ST$)

For floats,

ST$ = "0.001234"
myFlot# = val(ST$)

Lol! There's an index of the help files - you only had to look!

But, it's nice when you discover something you didn't know was there...

The index would be a little more useful if it were in alphabetical order too..
