Operators only possible, if variable defined with decimal

But in beas script you have many functions to work with setvar defined variables (String)

 

Functions called with %FunctionName(PlaceHolderNames)

Inside the function you don't need to define placeholders with <..>

 

Example

setvar=a=1
setvar=b=2
setvar=maxValue=%max(a,b)
messagebox=<maxValue>
