Thread Subject:

int2str versus str2int?

Hello,

I am trying to create a uicontrol edit text box, and get the user
input string to be read as a value: The user will actually put in a
number.

*************************************
function edit2_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)

handles.deltaSPL=get(handles.edit2,'String')
guidata(hObject, handles)
*************************************

This seems to give handles.delta as a string, thus reads its ASCII
value when I try to use it in calculations.

The 'int2str' function converts a number to a string, is there a
function that does the reverse?

Thanks heaps,
Justin.

Use STR2DOUBLE. You may also want to use ROUND to get integer values.

WOW, that was quick!

Thankyou so much for your help, I didn't see that in the help/doc
files before. It also led me to str2num(), which will probably be
just as good for an integer. should round it off to get to an integer
anyway.

Thanks again,

Justin.
