From text to integer

[Toto]

Hello,

I am ashamed to ask for this, but I may not be on the right path to solve this.

The text panel is face mesh extraction I need as integer to be selected later.

No, it’s not. Even if it were, Grasshopper has dynamic data types. Why do the developers always suggest coding solutions?

The problem with relying on automatic type conversion especially from data to text and text to data is that you will run into data loss eventually. If you search here on the forum you’ll find cases where the automatic conversion doesn’t do exactly as wanted.

Besides, this is one component without the need to rely on automatic data conversion, meaning it can be faster.
