Hi List,

is there another way to convert a given String to an Integer or Float type?

I am currently using some code like this:

begin
Value :=Float'Value(Float_String);
exception
when Constraint_Error => Value := 0.0;
end;

For me this is very ugly and a big hack.
Thanks for any idea.

Greetings

Alexander
