Convert String to Number - 1micha.elok - 08-20-2024

Hi Marcus,

I'm making a tiny karaoke machine, but I can't find a function to convert string to number and to syncronize song and lyrics.
Could you please advise me ?
Code:
    'TOBE...synchronize lyrics and timestamps
    clearscreen()
    set caret 10,10
    for i = 1 to j-2      
       
        'time1 = left(lyrics[i],2) 'take the first two digits number of lyrics[i]
        'convert time1 from string to number
        'if 'real time' = time1 then display lyrics
                                       
        wln mid(lyrics[i],3,80)
        wait 3000 'this line should be removed if lyrics and timestamps are synchronized
    next

Herewith the full code

Hi - re converting a string to a number - you should be able to use the int function - i.e. time1 = int( left(lyrics[i],2)) ? I don't have a chance to test at the moment unfortunately.....
