I'm importing csv files from Gmail attachments into an existing Google Spreadsheet.
I use the getDataAsString() to hold the entire csv contents. I've tried it varying sizes up to ~6000 characters. Is there a maximum number of characters this string can take?

A single execution of Apps script can last no longer than 6 minutes and you're hitting this limit.
You can register early access for App Maker after App maker enabled your script run runtime will increase run time from 6 minutes to 30 minutes :) Ya we can increase run time from 6 minutes to 30 minutes using Early access program but those apps cannot be deployed to public.
to convert a string to a number you can use the unary plus. var num = "82144251"; num = +num; Doing num = +num is practically the same as doing num = num * 1; it converts the value in a to a number if needed, but after that it doesn't change the value.
Apps Script is free to use, and all you need to get started is a Google account. So, if you use Gmail, you can start coding in Apps Script in your browser, for free, right now. If you use Sheets, you can start. If you use Docs, you can start.
The maximum length with will be implementation-specific. ... up to 2^31 characters. (1024) characters. - for the JScript implementation. Richard. I can tell from experience it's not 1024. The last string I used was over 23K bytes. It is highly browser dependent. long. It took a while to parse! I also created a string that was 2^24 characters long.
\': Apps Script treats the single quotation mark just like any other character in the string. ": Apps Script treats the double quotation mark just like any other character in the string. : Apps Script inserts a new line when it encounters a " " in the string. The characters that follow a will be printed on the next line.
You will use arrays extensively while working with Google Sheets using Apps Script. Here is how you declare and initialize an array called colors. You list a number of values within square brackets ( [ and ] ). var colors = ["red", "blue", "green", "black", "orange", "purple"]; Logger.log (colors); // [red, blue, green, black, orange, purple]
Since "1" is a string and 2 is a number, Apps Script will convert the number into a string and then will concatenate the two strings together.) You can append a value to a string by using the += operator. For example, let us say you want to append the string "World" to the string "Hello". The resulting output will be "HelloWorld".
The limit for strings in Google Apps Script is 67,108,864 (67 million) characters. You can try it yourself with this function:
function strtest() {
var str = "a";
while (1) {
str = str + str;
}
}

I am not sure if there is a way to increase this through other means (for example, there is a fix for this in Wordpress).
