Thread Subject: str2double

Hi all!!

I have a variable x with type cell that has a value '0.009867'.

when I use str2double (x) command I get the result "0.0100" but I need
 "0.009867 " value instead. how can I achieve it??

thanks in advance...

You are getting the right value, but your display is only showing you the
first four digits.
use
format long g
for example, if you want to see more digits. However, realize that the
number is correct.

a hint:
- on the assumption that you use the stock function STR2DOUBLE

     help format;
% maybe you use...
% format bank;
