      Hi, i am very new to gdl. currently i have had a parameter called scale which is a text type parameter so that i can input the scale like 1/50. but how to change string 1/50 to number 1/50. i know SPLIT is the function i am looking for. But anyone can help the script to make it work? Thanks a lot!

      Hi there,

      Here’s a sample:

      n = split("1/50", "%n%s%n", j,k,l)
print "Scale is ", j, " to ", l, " or ", j*2, " to ", l*2, " if you are really mad"
