how can I do the conversion from a string to a float

[cschneider]

Yeah, smercurio, I think so...that's why I posted that solution...

Well, I just created the first method that came to mind.

Yes scan from string is a lot simpler, and less work.....either one works.

Actually, there are probably 10 other ways to do it, up to you.

thanks for all the solutions, but I didn't explain well...sorry

I have three different boxes, one for each part of the string, one for the hours,one for the minutes and one for the seconds.

At the end, I want just one number, which will group the time together, example: 043006

Something like this?

yes exactly and if it's 4 o'clock for example, I want 04

This seems like it has to be some Rube Goldberg code, but here's one way of doing it. (Note: The display format for the numeric indicator must be changed as shown in the picture, or else zeros before the hour will not show).
