Question regarding num conversion

[sdkfz250]

Hello,
maybe this is a stupid question.

If I want to have the last digit of a number (e.g. 123 i want to extract 3) if i work with the following code it does not work:

temp$=str(points$); //points$ is a number
G_SHOWMESSAGE(temp$[1,0]);

Why does this not work? With str() I converted the number in a string. temp[1,0] should allocate the last digit in a string beginning from the right side.

Thanks for your help in advance , Michael

hi,
this somehow works:
temp$=str(points$); //points$ is a number
G_SHOWMESSAGE(wstr(temp$[1,0]));
and this combination also:
temp$=points$+""; //points$ is a number
G_SHOWMESSAGE(temp$[1,0]+"");
maybe kornalius can explain why a double conversion is needed.

This is something I will have to look into. You can also try using the mid() function as a replacement in the meantime.

This works great in 2.2 and 1.60. I have fixed the str() function. If the value was 0, it did not create a string as "0" properly.
