solution.............

Posted by Jody Brown on November 12, 2000 at 4:25 PM

Hi slim,

Simple solution..........

String myString = "123";

int myInt = (new Integer(myString)).intValue();

or

double myDouble = (new Integer(myString)).doubleValue();

Be aware that this will throw a NumberFormatException if the string cannot be represented as an Integer.

Hope this helps,

Jody
