Conv String (containing an equation) to Number

[laffo16]

Simple question but not sure if im missing a function here,

how do i convert a string containing an equation into a resulting number.

eg. (doesnt work: = 0)

$var = "(5/2.8)*2"

$var = Number($var)

MsgBox(0, "1", $var)

$var recieves the equation in text format from a seperate program.
