Prob: needed to get a list or matrix of numbers instead of characters;
String="1,2,3,4,5,6";
list=words(String,","); //output --> {"1","2","3","4","5","6"}
required output ={1,2,3,4,5,6};
All Matrix, List and Character functions are available at

Here is a possible answer for you
Names Default To Here( 1 ); String = "1,2,3,4,5,6"; Eval( Parse( "Mat=[" || string || "];" ) );
Here's one way to do it without a For() loop.
String="1,2,3,4,5,6"; list=words(String,","); //output --> {"1","2","3","4","5","6"} x=new table("temp", new column("c", character, values(list)), private); :c<< data type(numeric); m = c<< get values; close(x, nosave); show(m);
