String to Value Node

String to Value Node

The String to Value node converts a text string into a numerical value. This is useful for parsing numbers from text input, file data, or dynamically generated strings.

The node reads characters from the beginning of the string until a valid number is parsed. If parsing is unsuccessful, the node outputs a floating-point value of 0.

Inputs

String

The input text string to be converted into a numerical value.

Properties

Data Type

The type of numerical value to convert to:

Float:

Converts the text to a floating-point number.

Integer:

Converts the text to a 32-bit integer.

Outputs

Value

The resulting numerical value after conversion.

Length

The number of characters successfully parsed as part of the number. This indicates where the numeric portion of the string ends, allowing further substring operations.

Examples

  • Converting the string "3.1415" with Float selected outputs a value of 3.1415 and a length of 6.

  • Converting "42abc" with Integer selected outputs 42 and a length of 2.

  • Converting an invalid string such as "hello" outputs 0 and a length of 0.
