Retrieve counter string - gives exact value but not value shown.

Cut one problem down and another takes its place!

When using the string of a counter, it always retrieves the exact counter value but not necessarily the value the counter displays. For example, having a counter with 0 digits after the decimal place which shows "11" is pulling a string of "10.8293...". How can I get the string shown, which would be "11"?

Just use str$( counter value ) or even str$( int(counter value )) simples

Your first example doesn't work, seeing as that's what I was trying. str$(int(counter value)) does work, however. Thanks for that.
