Another Java Question

General Computing Coding and Design

I think it’s possible to alter the type of an already defined variable, however I’ve been unable to find any code to do this.

For example, I’m receiving a String array from another class, which I need to convert to int format.

Any help, is appreciated.
cheers :thumbsup:

not too hot on java, but try Googling Cint or Cstr which are the ms equivalents for taking one data type into another.


String = "0182"

int = Cint(String)

That kind of feature, hope that gives a legs up :shrug:

DT.

int pingDbTimeout =60000;
pingDbTimeout = Integer.parseInt(whateveryourstringis);

Lifted (and edited to simplify it slightly) from some multi threaded code I wrote a year or so ago.

Try using JavaDoc (below is 1.4.2) though in this case you’ve got to know EXACTLY what you’re looking for
