StringTake[var, {1}] returns a string consisting of the first character of var, i.e. "c". You should use ToExpression[StringTake[var, {1}]] In[5]:= c = 3 var = "c" v = ToExpression[StringTake[var, {1}]] Out[5]= 3 Out[6]= "c" Out[7]= 3 Adriano Pascoletti 2008/10/2 <Johney at giganews.com> > I have the following test code > > c = 3 > var = "c" > v = StringTake[var, {1}] > v > > > v is showing up as c but I want it to show up as 3.
