Converting strings to ints

[ChrisN]

Is there any way of converting strings, for example from a comman line input, to ints?

using input = File.openText("A-small.in")
            s = input.readline
            aNumber  = input.readline to int
            print aNumber

raises:
error: Cannot convert type "string" to "int"

have a look at the .net doc on Int32.Parse.
Tho cobra conversion would be int.parse

Thanks, That works fine!

This indicates a gap in the How To's. Maybe one that covers casting, parsing and string splitting and joining.

Something like this perhaps.
