How to parse user input as numeric

[steve4king]

This seems really basic, and I can do this in C#..

How do I accept a variable from an inputbox() and parse the user input as numeric?

Thanks,
Steve

Assuming the user entered only numbers
lcValue = inputbox(.........)
lnValue = VAL(lcValue)

if you only want an integer
lnValue = INT(VAL(lcValue))

Perfect, I was not aware of "VAL"
Thanks David.
