split a variable

[Brian]

Hey guys,

I have a variable that is getting passed to me in the form of -
VarA = $2000.
My problem is when i start to try and use this variable as an Integer....such as when i try and add my variable to another integer -
VarA + 300 = VarB

Here i get a "type mismatch" error. (due to the $ sign in front of the 2000)

My question would be does anybody know how i can strip the $ sign away so that im left with just the Integer?

Thanks,
Brian
