Replacing the comma with a point

[alverman]

I need to convert a value by replacing the comma with a point to send commands via tcp.
For example: 0,1234 to 0.1234
Is it possible?

Many thanks, Alberto

Hi alverman!

Unfortunately it is not as easy as dragging in a node as the comma is the separator for several commands...
What exactly are you trying to do? Where is your comma-value coming from? The best option would be to prevent having these values. Would this be possible?

A node fader input take a fader value (min 0 max 255)
The fader input node connected to a node range (in min 0 to max out 255 min 0 max out 1)
The output value from the node range, rightly, is 0, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I would convert 0.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
to send an ASCII string from the node stream tcp
I tried to put the output value of the node range in a textbox but then I do not have the command to read the value from a certain point in the text then put it in a variable and then create the string to ascii.
I just take everything that is after the comma.

Thanks, Alberto

Hi!

There will be a new command to crop the start of a label content within the next release (following Rev178).

As for now you could multiply your value and get rid of the comma by using the the floor node. Is it possible for you to send this multiplied value? Whenever you divide this value again, you will get the comma value again.
I will have a check if we can add an option to switch between comma and dots...

Hi!

Use the filter textnode "leading zero" to add a desired count of leading zeros to your value.
You can adjust the total amount of your digits. Choosing 5 your value 2 will be displayed as 00002. 115 will be 00115.

Hi everybody,

there is an easy but useful tip for avoiding this issue:

Edit you regional settings in windows to english or edit the seperator icon from comma to point in your own language. This will lead to point output in Widget Designer as well..
