Hello, I am trying to write a text-command parser. Currently, I have a text file and read from it byte by byte. I compile this into an array of strings, with each string being delimited by spaces, commas, LR, CF, etc. As I go along I convert it to all lower case.

My problem is that some of these strings are numeric. Id like to take a string, such as "3.14", and turn it into a float. Given RobotC's string functions being what they are, what is the preferred way to do this?

I would really like to avoid having to do it while I am pulling the commands from the text file (in a char array), and instead do it while the command is being parsed (from a string).

Try atof()

I cant believe I skipped over the very first function in the documentation.

EDIT: Oh, I was on an (rather) old version of RobotC, that explains it.
