First, {"-","1","2",".","2"} is not a string; it's a series (or array) of
strings, the first being "-" and the last being "2".

"-12.2" is a string.

If you really need to get {"-","1","2",".","2"} as a value, you'll have to
do this:

for t=1 to length(myArray) do -- for each value in the array
	myTxt &= myArray[t] -- make it part of the new string
end for

myNum = sprintf("%d",{myTxt}) -- get the value of the new string using
sprintf()

I think that should work.
