Converting a string to a number?

[Chris92763]

I need to turn a string into a number that you can do math with!

My example:

thestring = "h5";
splicedsuit = thestring.charAt(0);
splicednumber = thestring.charAt(1);

(splicedsuit = "h"; splicednumber = "8")<not displayed

Then I need to do Math like

whatIneed = 9274 + splicednumber


If I check the variables durning the movie it says

whatIneed = 92748

but I need it to say 9282 and acually add them together not combine them.

Thanks In Advance!
Chris
