Since you're using C++ I suggest using streams. #include <sstream> { CString strFloat("3.5"); istringstream is(strFloat); float myFloat; is >> myFloat; } This way you can catch errors easily. Consider the following: float af = atof("a"); float zerof = atof("0"); Both af and zerof will be 0, since on error atof() will return 0. Using streams you can check the stream status after conversion: { CString strFloat("3.5"); istringstream is(strFloat); float myFloat; is >> myFloat; if (is.fail()) { // Conversion failed! } } home
