How to convert string to float

pdda
pdda over 15 years ago

I want to convert string to float.But this case is different from the other usuall convertion.

Here are details.

Example:

for( i 2 25
    
      parameters = cons(list( concat( 'w i    ) 'string  "3.0u"                               ) parameters)

    )

Now .....i want to convert all w1 to w25 string elements to floats.

Can any help me onthis.....If you need any more information .......we can talk also.

Thanks,

K.srikumar

    The bit you showed looks more like creating the argument to dbCreateParamInst(), rather than the pcell code itself. I'm assuming that you want to do this conversion in the underlying pcell code? If so, it would be something like:

    let((varName)
      for(i 2 25
        varName=concat('w i)
        set(varName cdfParseFloatString(symeval(varName)))
      )
    )
    

    Then any variables w2 through to w25 within the pcell code will have float equivalents of the strings passed in.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.
