Function Reference

extra.ParseUint64(str)

Parameters:: str (string or integer) – The value to convert to uint64. Accepts either a string or an integer.
Returns:: (uint64) The parsed number. 0 if the string was invalid.
See:: 64-bit Integers

Converts a string or integer to a 64-bit integer userdata that can be used with this library.

Example:

local function saveMyId()
    -- This is highly useless since your ID won't change, but you get the point.
    writeFile('my_id.txt', tostring(Steam.User.GetSteamID()))
end

local function readMyId()
    return Steam.Extra.ParseUint64(readFile('my_id.txt'))
end
