Hello, before I sign up to use the TS platform for backtesting I need to know if my EL code posted below actually works and prints out the number 7 in the TS platform print log. Could someone please test this on their machine. Here is the code that I need tested. Does the EL code below print out the number 7 in the TS Print Log or does it not work for some reason? Really appreciate any help, huge thanks in advance. Lots (0);
Can you help answer these questions

Genesis13,
Quoting
If any non-numeric characters are included in the string expression, zero (0) is returned. The only exception is when non-numeric characters are located at the end of the string expression, in which case, they are dropped from the numeric expression.
EasyLanguage , the compiler will treat this as a new string literal and not access the value stored in the variable with the same name.

Hi ABCTG, huge thanks for your help and advice, I really appreciate this. Will my code print the number 7 (instead of 0) if I change the code to the following syntax? If not, can you think of any solution here to get the code to print the number 7 ?Lots (0);
