My question:

I made a program which uses arguments to run
If i run it like: program do setPos 1 1

Everything is a string but how do i convert those 1's back to numbers no matter where it is in the table?

for i,v in ipairs(tArgs) do
A = type(tArgs)
end
( type(tArgs) returns string )

local newArgs = {}
for k,v in ipairs(tArgs) do
if tonumber(v) then
  newArgs[k] = tonumber(v)
else
newArgs[k] = v
end
-- Use newArgs
