Question

Iam getting the string like this $2,000.00. Now i want to change this string to float value.
How to convert this string as float.Actually this string($2,000.00)is coming from formatting number with currency formatter. But now i want to change this string to float value..

Please guide anyone for this.

Thanking in advance.

Consider the string.

    NSString *str = @"$2,000.00";

Create a number formatter.

    NSNumberFormatter *nf = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];

The “important thing”.

    [nf setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];

“Here is what you want”.

    NSNumber *number = [nf numberFromString:str];
    float f = [number floatValue];

And of course, release the number formatter.

    [nf release];
