ParseToNumber( <Number>, <Text> ): Parses the text and stores the result to a number a, which must be defined and free before the command is used.; Example: Define a = 3 and text1 = "6". ParseToNumber(a, text1) returns a = 6.

Notes:

This is a scripting command which only sets the value of a number once. To convert a text text1 into a number which is updated dynamically, use FromBase(text1,10).

ParseToNumber( <Text> ): Parses the text and stores the result to a number.; Example: ParseToNumber("1+2+5-pi") creates the number a = 4.86.
