Hi Joe,
If you know the format is consistent and you don't really need much error handling then something like this would work
('($1,925.46)' reject: [:e | '($),' includes: e]) asNumber
All the best,
Ron Teitelbaum

Greetings,
I want to convert a String with parenthesis and dollar sign to a Number or Float.
'($1,925.46)’ asNumber
Is there something out of the box that does this, or do I have to write it myself, character by character?
Should I use a ReadStream?
Sincerely,
Joe.
