Function Reference

extra.parseUint64(str)
Parameters:

str (string) – The string to convert to uint64.

Returns:

(uint64) The parsed number. 0 if the string was invalid.

See:

64-bit integers

Converts a string to a 64-bit integer 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
