Genesys Cloud - Main

Hi all, 

I need to convert full string value to integer and here is what I noticed:

if string begins with alphabet char - conversion fails right away, but if there is at least one number symbol it converts it and ignore remaining part of string. 

Task.testString = a123

Task.resultString = ToInt(Task.testString, -1) \\ we'll get -1 in this case

===============

Task.testString = 123a1245ab

Task.resultString = ToInt(Task.testString, -1) \\ we'll get 123 here

IF it is designed like that - could Expression help be more specific about cases like that? Or maybe it is simply a bug???

Thanks

Which flow type are you using?
