Problem String & Numbers

[atzoref]

Hi,

I have a situation like this, to calculate this expression:

MsgBox(0,"","9,913.223" * 2)

The result it shows me is: 18 (instead of 19826.446)

Or even:

MsgBox(0,"",9,913.223 * 2)

The result it shows me is: 9 (instead of 19826.446)

What is the best way to calculte this when I have the number with the Comma (",")

(I can delete the Comma from the string but I ask maybe there is another way..)

Thanks

You have to remove the "," to get a valid number.

Something like:

MsgBox(0,"",stringreplace("9,913.223", ",", "") * 2)

But sometimes the number in the string doesn't have the "," (if the number is under 1000)

Is this method still work or there will be a problem with this?

Yes, this method will still work. It removes all "," from the string. If there is none, everything is still fine.

if its for math calculations try using the math functions included in autoit... like

$Sumof = Number(95596.164 * 2)
$Round = Round($Sumof,  2)
Msgbox(64, "title", $Round)

The OPs problem is not the math but the conversion part (string to number).

Function Number stops converting the string to numbers when the first non numeric character is encountered.

So

$y = Number("24/7")

returns 24 not 247.

hence he has to remove the ";" bevor converting the string to a number.
