i need a way to handle a number of variables. I want to be able to convert them to integers to manipulate them, and convert them back to strings so that i can display them on the graph screen using PxlText without having to use string(x) and int(x) every time i need to convert. What is the best way to do this. Also, i want the variables to primarily stay as numbers that are converted to strings as needed.

Why don't you use a list? I like them a lot.

Well, like Silver said, it's better to use lists. You can have an almost unlimited amount, plus lists are used for numbers Neutral
Oh 89??? Hmm, sorry this is for 84. But hopefully you get the idea...
I'm not sure what you mean...only thing I could think off would would be

Code:
"4"->String1

Code:
Pxl-Text x,y,list1[element]


For lists, lest you change your mind...

It does not Cure777, there needs to be quotes.

A->Y1
Y1->Str1

should work though.

Use Expr( to convert back to intergers (which is very slow so I recomend as Silver said, to use lists).

Edit: Oh... 89... sorry...

Code:
"My name is Negativezero48"->name

I think he's trying to do something like change

X+52Y->X

to

X+21Z->X

or something like that. Until you give me an example of what you want to do, however, I can't help you.

Something like newList(# of elements) or newList # of elements. Try it, I think it'll work.

BTW, I am one as well. And so is everyone who signed.

not realy. just convert an integer (lots of) variable to a string for graph screen displaying in an EFFICIANT way withou long lines of converting lots of vars.

You don't need to convert it into a string to display it. Use the code I posted a while back.
