I have been reading and searching all the various bits of documentation I can find but I can not discover a method of converting an ansistring to a real.

I was hoping for a function like Str2Real() or StrToReal() but I am having no luck.

I am using the latest stable version of lazarus and fpc.

Anyone know what unit I should include and where I can find any documentation for this?

best regards

May be you are looking for these functions :

Function StrToFloat(Const S : String) : Extended;
Function StrToFloat(Const S : String; Const FormatSettings:
TFormatSettings) : Extended;
Function StrToFloatDef(Const S: String; Const Default: Extended):
Extended;
Function StrToFloatDef(Const S: String; Const Default: Extended; Const
FormatSettings: TFormatSettings): Extended;
Function TryStrToFloat(Const S : String; Var Value: Single): Boolean;
Function TryStrToFloat(Const S : String; Var Value: Single; Const
FormatSettings: TFormatSettings): Boolean;
Function TryStrToFloat(Const S : String; Var Value: Double): Boolean;
Function TryStrToFloat(Const S : String; Var Value: Double; Const
FormatSettings: TFormatSettings): Boolean;
Function CurrToStr(Value: Currency): string;
function StrToCurr(const S: string): Currency;
function TryStrToCurr(const S: string;Var Value : Currency): Boolean;
function StrToCurrDef(const S: string; Default : Currency): Currency;

(uses SysUtils but not sure)
