it would be very usefull if there is a function which converts a string into a float, i think...
str_to_num just gives you a inacurate value back (not a var but also not the value you had in the string)
I hope I am understandable

It's already done.

thats cool - and my fault, sry and thx
(but it would be nice if you can add this to the offline-manual

(ok - i mean the german manual :))

It is in there, lumped together with str_to_num.
It would be nice it it was listed in the index too though....

whatever happened to atoi()?...lol...disregard just being dorky.
