No VAL Command?

BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/No VAL Command?

Hi there.

I need to convert a string into a number so I can do some arithmetic on the resulting number. Normally in Basic I'd use the VAL command but Blitz does not have it.

So I have an array with loads of string values like "167252", "6737367", "3738783" etc. Then I need to plug these numbers into a algoithm so they must be integers.

Can anyone tell me how I do this without the VAL command?

Thanks.
