Can the set_param command store integers instead of variables?

Hi, so I am trying to change a value in a constant block of my Simulink model. The command I use is :- set_param('Driver/APPcont','Value','50')

The command works but the problem is the way the answer is stored. It stores it in the form of a variable while I need it in the form of an integer. For example when I use the get_param as shown:-

x=get_param('Driver/APPcont','Value') I get the answer as x='50'. I need the answer to be 50 without the quotes. I understand the set_param command is mainly used for variables but is there a way to change the answer to an integer from without the use of the quotes?

Appreciate the help!

If the output x is a string, then

>> xnum = str2num(x)

should work.

That works for me. Thank you!
