Please help, Convert this string format to number

[lovemachinez]

I send some command via RS232 to my machine and the machine sent me back with a number "40" display in normal display in my attatched picture. I tried to use the string convert to num tools but there is nothing happen just "0" .

I wondering with it, then I try displaying the string in different way as in attached, code display and hex display and see the format of it.

I want to get the string "40" to change it to number, how can I get it? please help

Thank you in advance.

I don't know what "tools" you are talking about, but unless you show us what you tried, we cannot tell what you are doing wrong.

 

I don't seem to have a problem getting the 40 out this string, so try again. If you are still stuck, attach your code. Make sure the controls contain some typical default data

It worked fine for me. Just to be on the safe side you can use the Trim Whitespace function (strings palette) to clear the "\" characters.
