Splitting and merging values

[fleeceable]

Hello. I have a float value, with formatting 00.00. I need to separate the value at '.' . and on the other end, I need to merge them again.
Example: value read from GA= 12.02, values in script: val1=12 and val2= 02

Possible?

Code:

value = grp.getvalue('57/0/1')

--Split by dot
tab = string.split(value, ".")
log(tab)

--Merge into 2byte
if #tab >1 then
  grp.update('57/0/2', tab[1] .. '.' .. tab[2])
else
  grp.update('57/0/2', tab[1])
end

Should work...
