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
