sfdcIs I am trying to convert this contact sObject to a string to grab the first 5 characters of the zip and compare but keep getting an error of "method does not exist or incorrect signature. any ideas?
String bpc= String.valueOf(c.MailingPostalCode);
if(bpc.left(5)>= cList.get(i).zip)
{
// more processing
}
to convert a string of type number to Integer.. you should use Integer.valueOf
String bpc= String.valueOf(c.MailingPostalCode);
if(integer.valueOf(bpc.substring(0,5))>= cList.get(i).zip)
{
// more processing
}

String method left is available in winter 13... I think the instance that you are working has not been upgraded to new version yet.
Check this link for winter 13 upgrade on your instance.

Ok thank you so there is no way we can manipulate this until the new release comes out?
you can use other methods...
use bpc.substring(0,5) instead of bpc.left(5).
ok i am getting very close now . The code compiled successfully. however, I realzied that the number comparison will not work since it's a string literal. need to grab the first 5 characters then compare it as a number with 5 characters
String bpc= String.valueOf(c.MailingPostalCode);
