Converting a string to int in Groovy

Question

I have a String that represents an integer value and would like to convert it to an int. Is there a groovy equivalent of Java\'s Integer.pars

Answer 1

As an addendum to Don's answer, not only does groovy add a .toInteger() method to Strings, it also adds toBigDecimal(), toBigInteger(), toBoolean(), toCharacter(), toDouble(), toFloat(), toList(), and toLong().

In the same vein, groovy also adds is* eqivalents to all of those that return true if the String in question can be parsed into the format in question.
