RE: Converting from scientific to integer/decimal

Atof() should do it for you. Not sure what else you'll need.
What do you mean, can't get it to work?

Subject: Converting from scientific to integer/decimal

  I have been playing around with converting a number scientific to integer 
or decimal.  This is data that is coming from a spreadsheet and needs to be 
processed as a number.  Since it can be a 12 digit number Excel 
automatically converts it to scientific format.  (BTW, is there a way to 
permanently turn off this behavior?)

  I have played w/ some of the RPG BIFs and the atof C API, but can't seem 
to get it working.  Does anyone have some sample code that does this?  TIA.
