Cannot take difference of Strings; looking for Conversion.

Post by Kool » Fri Oct 30, 2020 8:57 pm

How do I get the difference of two strings that contain numbers, for example

myDefinedVar = myVar1 - myVar2
showbox.bio/
is there a convert to number function. I believe when Ranorex variables are defined they are setup as strings. I did get an error stating cannot subtract strings with my UserCode.cs chnages.

Hi,

In case the numbers in variables are integers, you can use for example Int32.TryParse method.

I need to obtain the difference of 2 strings which contain numbers. But an error occurs all the time with my UserCode.cs auto typer essay writer in custom setup changes.
Hello,

Could you please share an example of what each of the values might be? Do the values represent (in your case) longs, integers, doubles?
