OK, then how do I add two numbers using the numbertool? Here's what I have: $numbertool.toNumber($tRule.indexOf('.')) This displays a number as a string just fine. Now, I need to add 1 to it. I've tried: $numbertool.toNumber($tRule.indexOf('.')).intValue()+1 ## displays 1+1 $numbertool.toNumber($tRule.indexOf('.')+1) ## crashes $numbertool.format($numbertool.toNumber($tRule.indexOf('.')).intValue()+1) ## crashes $numbertool.toNumber($numbertool.toNumber($tRule.indexOf('.'))+1) ## crashes I know this is a scripting language and all but it doesn't seem that something this simple should be so hard to do. Does velocity not have the concept of a number?!? Thanks! .:.
