RE: Extract some numeric fields from a string

Of course, I meant,
result - atof(%subst(mystring: p)) ;

Please excuse formatting - atof proto would be:

D atof PI 8F Extproc('atof')
D str * value options(*string)

I would use %SCAN to locate the field... then add the length of the

name + 1 to the scan result.

Then I'd use atof.

result = atof(p) ;

to pull the data for me. atof() knows what to do, and no hassle.

I may not understand your questions here. Is it that you are just not
sure where the decimal point is in each case? Do you know before time
what the variable names are (L, AS, etc)?


Thank you,
Nancy
