Convert a string to int with Velocity

I need to convert a lead field, which holds a string to a integer with velocity scripting.

Does somebody has a solution for this?

I have tried the following, but I receive an error

#set( $tmp = 0 )
$tmp.parseInt( ${lead.PostalCode} )
${tmp}

#set( $anInteger = $convert.toInteger( $aString ) )‍‍‍

don't confuse "int" and "Integer", they're two different datatypes
use simple notation ($reference), not formal (${reference}) unless you're outputting
