.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I am useing a menu to setcvars but when I get the cvar from script it gives me the value as a string . Any one have some code that converts the string to a number with ease ?

local.myinteger = int local.mystring

or

local.myfloatingpointvalue = float local.mystring

I was just about to delete this post T|Trude and I figured out the same thing but thanks jv
