You do not want to convert from string to number.
What you really want is to EVALUATE arithmetic expressions !
For that you need to either write parser/interpreter or use external onee
Thanks to AmiBroker JScript support you can use for example JScript eval
function.
EnableScript("JScript");
<%
%>
function Evaluate( text )
{
so = GetScriptObject();
return so.eval( text );
}
"The result is " + Evaluate("3 + 2");

Subject: [amibroker] Re: How to convert a string to non-string characters?!
Or to take a more trivial example, the following prints "3" instead of "12":
VarSetText("Condition1", "3 + 4 + 5");
Total = StrToNum (VarGetText("Condition1"));
printf ("Sum %g", Total);
How do I convert the above string so that Total is equal to the expression
itself, which is equal to 12?
