digits gone missing while converting string to number

[GerdW]

Hi Martin,

as said before: all he got was "3" using different kind of string2number conversions. So I concluded that he didn't use the point as decimal separator in his regional settings. The only different regional setting I know of is the German one (using the comma by default) - but maybe it's a slightly different Austrian or Suisse setting?

Hey GerdW,

Thuth is, that you can think of many other localization, mostly in Europe, I believe. I can name few, and I believe there are many more 

- German

- Czech

- Slovak

- Hungarian

- Polish

- French

- Spanish

and I believe many more, that's why I asked about German specifically  This is common problem when people in Europe or Eastern Europe 🙂 try to communicate with GPIB instruments to measure data,you caught it perfectly.

Anyway you have done very good job by answering and solving this thread.
