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

    Hi Andrew,

    Thank you for your support..........

    I solved my problem ......by creating simple procedure.

    procedure( StrToNum(arg)

        if(eq(type(arg) 'string) then
           atof(arg)
        else
           sprintf(nil "%L" arg)
         )
        )

    and then i called the procedure

    Width =  StrToNum(get( cv~>parameters concat( 'w i ) )) - 2*cainwell

    I got this idea from your idea only........Thank you.

    Regards,

    K.srikumar.
