Converting visa outputs to numbers

[DARB]

Labview is currently recieving data from a device (through visa) as a string in the format NA[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]cr, where the first [ ] is a +/-, and the follwoing five [ ] is a 4 digit number with one decimal place.

I need to convert this to a number that only contains the [ ], and have not been able to find a solution

thanks!

See this.

This is a pretty basic operation. Have you taken the LabVIEW 101 tutorial?

Hint:  Look in the strings palette.

You have access to String/Number conversion function.

Thanks Ray.R

I ended up using the fract/exp operation.
