String to #variable

[Duck]

I asked this question for the other way around, but is there a way to store a string to a #variable. Like

"123"->str1
could you get A to equal 123 in a program without just entering it in again?

Yes, and very easily too, I might add.
Suppose str1="123" and you want A to equal 123. All you need to do is this:
expr(str1->A

Thanks, I guess I should have read the manual better. ;D
