If I understand your question correctly, you can easily convert a string that contains numeric digits into a numeric variable with a simple assignment: val = txt$ This can also be performed if the numeric digits are imbedded within a longer string: dim txt[100] txt$="abcd93efgh" n = txt$[5] This will convert the 93 that begins at location 5 of the text string to a numeric 93 contained in the variable "n".
