If it's for the thousand you can use that: (myStringNumber copyWithoutAll: '.') asNumber
To find this kind of methods you can use the finder (world -> Tools). You select "example" and you search for things like : '1.234'.'.'.'1234' and that will give you: '1.234' copyWithoutAll: '.' first -> '1234' -- Cheers Cyril Ferlicot On 5 April 2015 at 01:43, Benoit St-Jean via Pharo-users < pharo-users@lists.pharo.org> wrote: > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Benoit St-Jean <bstj...@yahoo.com> > To: Any question about pharo is welcome <pharo-users@lists.pharo.org> > Cc: > Date: Sat, 4 Apr 2015 23:40:01 +0000 (UTC) > Subject: Re: [Pharo-users] Converting a string containing dots to integer > Do you have more details? > > Such as, do you have values with more than one dot ?
