want to put stringArray into a Float varible

[klod]

hi,

you can directly cast a string to a float variable:
string $s="-3.14";
float $v=$s;
print($v*5.0);

about your string array:

string $sArray[] = {"-5.0","8.236","41.2"};
float $fArray[];
for ($i=0; $i<size($sArray); $i++)
{
$fArray[$i]=$sArray[$i];
}

Maybe I'm missing something. You can just use the string variables with the move or setAttr commands, or you can assign them to a float attribute if you're in an expression:

here's an example with the move command:


string $sArray[] = {"-5.0","8.236","41.2"};

string $theSphere[] = `sphere -name mySphere`;

move -ws $sArray[0] $sArray[1] $sArray[2] $theSphere[0];


and here's an expression:


string $test = "54.2";
ty = $test;


Maya will cast the types for you automatically.
