Metric String to Number

[Hooovahh]

Does there exist a way to convert the string "1ms" into the number 0.001?  Same with the µ (micro), k (kilo), M (mega) and any other metric symbols?  I can do this manually no problem but I thought someone may have done this already.  Thanks.

try that one with '1ms' as the input as the original post stated.

Yes there is a limitation,  Nothing a regex can't handle.

Yes I noticed that right away but in this case I can simply the last char.  Glad it is so simple.

It will be easy as soon as NI fixes CAR 425562...  I've ran into this enough times.  I ended up putting in spaces between the prefix and the unit to get the Scan From String to work properly.
