I need to convert Content imported from file.txt to a number value

RouterOS Scripting

Hello ,
I’m using snmp-walk to get a value from oid and save it to files as text file
then the script I’m using to extract the value is:

:global content [/file get [/file find name=out.txt] contents] ;
:global contentLen [ :len $content ] ;

:global lineEnd 0;
:global line "";
:global lastEnd 0;

:do {
  :set lineEnd [:find $content "\n" $lastEnd ] ;
  :set line [:pick $content $lastEnd $lineEnd ] ;
  :set lastEnd ( $lineEnd +2 ) ; 


  :global entry [:pick $line 0 $lineEnd ]
  
} while ($lastEnd < ( $contentLen -2 ) )

:global raw [:pick $line 47 51 ] 

:log info message=$raw

It works fine and desplay for example the number " 195 "
My problem is I need to multiply the output value and devide it etc…
I used this

:global cap [:put ($raw *2) ]

:log info message=$cap

But the outputbecomes in time format " 00:06:30 "
How can I convert the $raw var to a number that can be multiplied?
I’m not expert in scripting .
Thanks

if that is considered time, then [:totime $cap]

Can you please explain more
If you thought i need a time output no, I need the value to remain a normal number
It’s converting it to a time format after i use :put ( $raw * 2 ) that’s the problem here

Not an answer to your question, but if your variable are to be used in this script only, change form global to local
And your do not need the ; after each line. Only when there are multiple command at same line.
