Pretty simple question I need to get an integer from the user and I only know how to get a string from them. So if there is a way to get an integer from the user or to convert the string to an integer please let me know.

This page seems to have some conversion examples. Search for Conversion:.

UPDATE

Try using asNumber

If you are using Squeak or Pharo, learn to use the "Message Finder".

Left click on the background, click Tools > Message Finder. Click on the top left pane. Type:

'12345'. 12345.

Hit Control-S and you have your answer. Specifically, you have three answers: asInteger, asNumber and initialIntegerOrNil.
