Converting Strings to Floats and/or Integers

Converting Strings to Floats and/or Integers

[mrpinga]

Help me please!

I am supposed to be writing a commandline calculator for one of my courses
but i am having a little trouble... I desperately need to know how to convert
a string to a float or integer.

ie. if mystring := "4.56" i need to be able to convert this to myfloat := 4.56
or even going from mystring := "456" to myinteger := 456 would be a start.

any help you can offer would be much appreciated and save me alot of pain and
suffering...

also, please EMAIL me as I dont have a local news server and dejanews is a
pain to use... thanks...

   declare
      F : Float;
      I : Integer;
   begin
      F := Float'Value ("4.56");
      I := Integer'Value ("456");
   end;
