Convert from String to Double

[Peter Newman]

Previously posted in the wrong group

I writing an app to read a text file and need to convert a string into a
double.

ie "00000001234" into 12.34

It is part of a translator code the line in question =

Double.Parse(Right("00000000000" & Mid(ImportLine, 38, 11),
11)), _

where Mid(ImportLine, 38, 11) = "00000001234"

Double.Parse(Mid(ImportLine, 38, 11))*0.01

Or is there something you're not telling us about the string?

Peter,

In my idea does this work in every version of VB later then version 3

\\\
Dim x As Double = CDbl("00000001234") * 0.01
///

This is complete correct Visual Basic and does not need any Net part even in
language version 9 (or in future 10)
