Is there a way to turn off such harmless warnings?

What are you giving to the str input?

3

A bunch of numbers and letters with “string” as data type.
I am filtering out numbers from letters.

a

or this to_number 2.dyn (3.4 KB)

With ootb nodes, you should first check the type (object.type) and then filtering strings from others. So you will not have the warning.

All input data is of string type.

Some design script nesting the function in an if statement should do the trick:

String.ToNumber(str) != null ? 
    String.ToNumber(str) : 
    str;

Hmmmm… no I may be accounting for this backwards. Will check soon.

Sure. Always looking for OOTB methods. :slight_smile:

Method 1: Use a function.

(I’m in Dynamo Sandbox 2.8 here, and can’t surface the warning. Not sure if bug or feature… :thinking: )

Method 3: Design Script if statement.

This won’t always work, but has had good success for me.

Thanks. The first method works for me.

In Dynamo 2.6.1 (Revit 2021.1), it gives a warning to me.
