Integer = Val(String$)

Val will return the numeric value of a string.

(E.G. Val("100") gives you 100)

if you're looking to break up the string, then use left$, right$ and mid$.

Part of solving the problem is actually noticing that the problem is there in the first place

And if I don't say it, somebody else will ..... try to be a little more thoughtful/polite with your subject headings.

Left$(String, Number)

This'll return the first so-many characters of a string. How many letters depends on the number you specify

e.g. left$("SpaceMonkey",5) would return "Space"

Right$ does the same, but returns the last so-many characters.

Mid$ is different. It only returns a single character.

e.g. mid$("SpaceMonkey",6) would return "M".

Any wiser?
