Re: Function: Convert String to Integer

Hi,

No it did not.

The problem was in searches etc where you could get a type mismatch.
Set-Fields assignments this has always worked.

Ok, but in "the old days", didn't that toss up a mismatch error?  Did they add 
some intelligence/library behind the scenes?

Another "I can't believe I've forgotten this and can't find it in the docs" 
post...

Wasn't there a function that took a string and, presuming they were numbers, 
let you drop the integer equivalent into an int field?

something like IntField=INTEGER($CharField$)

I see currency conversion fields, but no text-to-number or number-to-text 
fields, and I know at least one direction will give you a mismatch error if you 
try just shoving one into another.

Thanks in advance (and a beer at Insight 2015) to the first reply with the 
answer ;)
