Convert Text to Decimal Number 1

[George1111]

I am at a loss how to do this

I want to convert a text field like "1.5" into a decimal field
which Delphi Pascal can process

The data will be processed in a system script in Ostendo (If that helps)

StrToInt is DEFINITELY NOT the answer

I just cannot find ANY reference on how to do this - have been hunting the web for 2 hours

H E L P !!

Thanks

Try something like

var
  realNumber: Double;     // or Single
begin
  ...
  realNumber := StrToFloat( '1234.5' );
  ...
end;

The JCL has several functions one of which is StrToFloatSafe which will handle numbers with decimal separators as well.
