Fraction String to real
« on: April 09, 2008, 03:54:33 PM »
How would one convert a string fraction (ie. "3/32") into a real number (ie. 0.09375)?
I tried using atof but it rounded the fraction up and I want the full decimal place, if possible.


I think I have posted this question before, but I can't seem to find it with the search.

Any help would be appreciated!  :mrgreen:

I believe it's DISTOF... Check the Developer Help Files though.
