convert text to number value

Hello ,

I'm gonna using optimization with geco plug in , but the result which coming out from lua component is a Text not numeric value ?

How I can

change it to be a number , So I can connect the optimization ?

I tried to clean a tree to remove any additional text then
tried to split text but i still getting text
deconstruct tree and the result in a numeric but not referring to the target number ?

I cannot repeat your problem, if I plug that text into a number parameter it correctly converts.

Please internalise the 'Text' input of the Split component and post that part of the file so I can test with the actual data.

If we can't recreate your problem.... try explode the text into characters and then just after rejoin them into a text string. Then try again conversion to number.

I'd also like to see what the attached C# component makes of the string. It will show a list of char unicode codepoints, so all the control characters and whitespace will be visible:

Incidentally if the text contains NewLine characters at the end, you can use the Text Trim component to get rid of them. That may clean up your text data enough to be make it convertable to numbers.
