Convert Text to float
How can I convert a string text?
for example from "250$" to 250
or from "-210$" to -210
or from "-87.44$" to -87.44
I need to get the float to do some calculations.
Best Answer
myTempString = "$250";
myTempString = myTempString.Replace("$", "");
You can use float.Parse( string s ) to convert to a float or if you don't know if the string is definitely a number then you can use float.TryParse( string s, out float result ) which returns true if it can convert. Not sure if is works if there is a $ at the end but i think it should
You could try
float number = Single.Parse(value);
using System;
float number = Single.Parse("-87.44");
Debug.Log(number);
returns: -87.44
If you want to remove symbols from the end like $ you should remove them by using Remove.String(Int32) <- Int32 = the number of characters to remove from the end.
