Feature Request: Variable string manipulation

[CAL77]

String manipulation could get crazy, but all that I find necessary would be conversion of a string value to a number for additional arithmetic and evaluations.

Is it containing words followed by the number? Perhaps I can modify CoRE's casting function to "extract" all digits from the string and convert them to a number?

Casting is automatic when you try to do math. All parameters are cast to the the selected type (which is the reason I ask of the variable type in the Set Variable). Have you tried that?

Oh, you mean, pick all the digits in a string and parse a number out of it. Got it.
