Hi Joao,
you can now use a simple [f] to convert a symbol to float, e.g:
[5( | [symbol 3.$1( // generate "3.5" symbol | [f] | [print]
prints 3.5 (i.e a float)
But the most powerful related tool is [fudiparse]:
[51 46 53( // list of chars '3' '.' '5' | [fudiparse] | [print]
also prints the float 3.5.

Hi list,
I was trying something without succes, and couldn't find any documentation for it as well.
I wanted to split the symbol 2/4 to separate the numbers on both sides of the / . No problem using [list fromsymbol] and [list tosymbol] in doing that. But, afterwards I can't find a way of turning the symbol back to a float, except using an external. Is there any special hack somewhere for this?
Best,
JOao
