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
field 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
