convert string in a number

[Luis Isaac Ramos Garcia]

   Dear;


    I would like to use a metadata from a image for some calculation.
The problem is that this data appears as a string, in my case "1460".
    So for make algebraic operation I need to convert it in a number
"1460"->1460. Is it possible in macro language?

    Thanks a lot,

Luis,

please consult the documentation of ImageJ's "Built-in Macro Functions".

There you may find teh following entry:
"parseInt(string)
Converts string to an integer and returns it. Returns NaN if the
string cannot be converted into a integer."
