There is no toInt() function listed (you would find this in Arduino: http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/StringToInt). Is this oversight or is there other reason for it not being included.
I think this is just a documentation issue on page http://energia.nu/reference/stringobject/ but wanted to make sure no other reason.... I would think it is, based on this posting http://forum.43oh.com/topic/5102-converting-strings-to-ints/
