Example: String Conversion: Substring to Integer, Double Integer and Real

Network 1 //Converts the numeric string to an integer.
//Converts the numeric string to a double integer.
//Converts the numeric string to a real.

STI VB0,7,VW100
STD VB0,7,VD200
STR VB0,7,VD300

VB0 VB11
11 ’T’ ’e’ ’m’ ’p’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’9’ ’8’ ’.’ ’6’ ’F’

After executing the network:

VW100 (integer) = 98
VD200 (double integer) = 98
VD300 (real) = 98.6
