For my map script I'm using the dmap name to store critical information required for drawing the map. When collecting this information the script stores it in an int array[] as characters (with the ''). Is it possible to drop the quotations and access the raw data? As an example I might grab '10' from the dmap name. Can I drop the '' and be left with the number 10 in its place?

There's no distinction between text characters and numbers; 'A'==65 is true. But text numerals aren't the same as the numbers they represent, so if you want to read "10" as 10, you'll need something like the atoi() function in string.zh.

simple enough. That'll do nicely, thanks Saffith!
