Notes

• If the text does not represent a number ("abc" for example), parseNumber will return 0 (zero). It is therefore not possible to use parseNumber to determine if the string contains a valid number or not.

• Super useful, if you have a value being passed through an .sqf to another and it is a number, it will read it as a string. Use parseNumber to make it a number again!
