Converting an interval in a number

[maxmax68]

Hi,
how can I convert an interval less than a minute found with getInterval () (say "15s") in a number ("15") ?
Thanks in advance.

Reading about Strings I found this solution to my problem.
Maybe it can be useful for someone else.

function preMain() {
setPriceStudy(false);
debugClear();
}

function main() {

if (isLastBarOnChart()) {
var a=getInterval();
debugPrintln("Interval = "+a);
var b=a.length; //
debugPrintln("Length = "+b);
if (a.search("S") != -1) var c=a.slice(0,-1)*1;
else var c=a*1;
debugPrintln("Number = "+c+");
}
}

It's even easier than that:

var num = parseInt("15S");

returns 15

Note:

In Javascript, always place your "var declarations" at the top of your functions (just after the "{"). There is no such thing in Javascript as either block local scope or scope from declaration to the end of a block or function. They're just going to get automatically hoisted to the top of the function definition for you by the interpreter and that can produce some hard-to-find bugs if you accidentally reference the variable before you first initialized it.

All variables in Javascript are either global or they're local to the *entire* respective function definition.
