CVP Call Studio - Set Value Element - returns string as a float?

Gerry O'Rourke · ‎02-05-2025

Using the "set value" element in CVP Call Studio - I am parsing a string.

lets say you have a string "000.111.222"
And you want to split this up into "000", "111" and "222"

using the set value element - you split this up into an array (with "." as the separator) - e.g.
myArray = myString.split('.');

And then you can extract for example the second element "111" by doing the following
myvar = myArray[1];

However the value of this always seems to be a float and so outputs as "111.0" and not "111"
I have tried to convert the output to a string, to an integer - but everything I have tried has failed to work?
Always outputs as a float?

Any ideas? Anyone else have this issue?

Could you do something kludgy like send the value to the Math element and then take it from there since that outputs as a string?

I am not getting the same results. Here's my very simple app:

Hello Gerry,
I could not replicate the issue in debug log. Even when I tried to assign the float value to local variable.
But I think the issue would be solved like this:
myvar = String(myArray[1]);

Please let me know if this had fixed the issue.
