Math expression at set variable

[Airton Luciano]

Hi.

I guess that is a very basic doubt but I am not able to replicate this WIKI instruction about math expressions. (See attachment)

The EXPRESSION option is not at blue rectangle.

May someone clarify?

What is the type of your variable?

What is the type of your variable?

String.

Now I got it. How may I transform it to NUMBER?

Thanks

You can use text manipulation action to save only numbers from string variable into another variable

Use extract: source: your string variable
Regex: \d Full match
Save it into the same variable

And then set variable action(second variable - integer) to the value of your string variable after text manipulation

Understood.

Thanks a lot

The strval magic text works too.

It worked fine. Thanks.

Now I will deal with setting a date to midnight, in order to have the same timestamp.

You even must not use "strval" function and you can Set My_integer_variable={lv=My_string_variable} if My_string_variable contains either a numeric value or a math expression (even with functions)
