how to convert string to num??

hi guys,

I'm currently doing a GUI on MATLAB and I'm taking in a user input in a text box as string(not sure as wat), how can I convert it to a number?
Any help on that, much appreciated.
Thanks

there's lots of different ways, some work better than others (experiment to find out which work for you)...

str2num, sscanf, strread

HI, thanks for your help, str2num does work.
