Function that converts the string containing the textual representation of the number in the relative numerical value. - StringToNum(S[,D]): num Parameters: - (string) S: A string containing the textual representation of the number to be converted; - (num) D: Default value in case of error (optional). Description: Use the StringToNum function to convert the text representation of a number to its numerical value. The result can be an integer or floating point number, depending on what the string contains. If the S string contains an invalid number, an error is generated.
