There is a command Str$() which will turn a numerical value into a string.

Is there a command that will turn a string into a numerical Value?

I've tried Int() but that expects a real number, any ideas?

Edit}------
Remembered doing it in V.B. using a val command, tried it out in DBC works ^-^

I should really touch up on my DBC commands...

yes there is :
its the val() function
it returns an integer from the string it recieves. for example if you had a string variable called yourstring$ and an integer variable called somevariable you could use it like this :
somevariable=val(yourstring$)

SYNTAX:
Return Value=VAL(String)
