Hello,
i think i've found a bug in the procedure TryStrtoFloat. To get this bug, create a new project and run this lines (i'm using a button to run the line, but it shouldn't matter)

---------------------------------------------------
var
   areal:real;
begin
TryStrtoFloat('86E6722INVALID!',areal);
end;
---------------------------------------------------

"86E6722" is a valid number, which is out of range and creates an error. The whole text is not a valid number, but it also creates an error. It raises an "External: SIGFPE" error.

B.t.w.: "TryStrToInt('86E6722INVALID!',aint);" or "TryStrToInt('86E6722',aint);" raises no error, they just return false.

Thanks.
Marcel Märtens
