Turn string into number in Racket

Question

I used read to get a line from a file. The documentation said read returns any, so is it turning the line to a string? I have problems

Answer 1

Looks like this was answered in another question:

Convert String to Code in Scheme

NB: that converts any s-expression, not just integers. If you want just integers, try:

string->number

Which is mentioned in

Scheme language: merge two numbers
