Storing a counter value on a string

[Snakesoft]

Hope you can help me with that..

I need to set the value of a string as the value of a counter, but the expression editor doesn't allow me to do that, telling me "please enter an alphanumeric expression".

Is there a way to do that? Do I need an extension?!?

Thank you!!

You can convert values to strings by using Str$(value goes here), or the other way round by using Val(string goes here).

So you would set the string to Str$(value("Counter")), or similar.

1 + 1 = 2 [number]
str$(1 + 1) = "2" [string]

"1" + "1" = "11" [string]
val("1" + "1") = 11 [number]
