I tried the sample "Import_Export CSV " and it has a problem with String to Number node. I tried to figure it out, and it seems as if this node have had a problem with decimal values. When I changed some of the coordinates in csv file into integer number it worked.
Is there a solution to this issue ?
a workaround:
the python code:
import clr
clr.AddReference(‘ProtoGeometry’)
from Autodesk.DesignScript.Geometry import *
#The inputs to this node will be stored as a list in the IN variable.
dataEnteringNode = IN[0]
#Assign your output to the OUT variable
OUT = float(IN[0])
I tried your code and it didn’t work for me. Can you look at the picture and tell me what is wrong ?
strange!
what build are you using?
what error message do you get in the python node?
Warning: IronPythonEvaluator.EvaluateIronPythonScript operation failed.

I am using Dynamo 0.7.1, the latest build from tomorrow
Hello Szymon Jan,
Can you please share your dyn file. I don’t see any problem with String to Number in 0.7.1.
Try running Sample from Help>Samples>ImportExport>ImportExportCSV to Stuff
Do let me know if yours data is different then what we have used in Helix.csv
Thanks,
Ritesh
helix_smaller
ImportExport_CSV to Stuff
I used this sample data without changing anything in this files and this is what I get :
no changes and running!
maybe you reinstall your dynamo files.
i am using revit 15 dynamo daily from 09.07.2014
I reinstalled dynamo and still it doesn’t work. Let’s face it, Dynamo hates me 
I know it is hard for you to help me without having the same error, so I think maybe I will reinstall my Revit (??)
Belowe Example of problem with decimal values
Strange thing happend. It seems as if my system was using the comma instead of dot (??) When I wrote 10,5 it worked. Is there a place where I could fix it ??
looooool!
cool, maybe you create an issue so developers may track it.
funny is, that my system accepted your dyn file.
i am working on a localized german version
@ least its some sort of working now.
congrats
I’m from Poland. It is definitely Regional Settings
You can change it in two ways:
"1) Regional settings
Control Panel –> Clock, Language and Region –> Change the date, time, or number format
Click on Additional settings button.
2) Within Excel
Office Button (left hand corner) > Excel Options > Advanced > Editing Options > Uncheck ‘Use system separators’ > Define as per your needs"
Szymon Jan: I am glad that you figured out the problem.
So after changing setting to English locale, are you able to run String To Number successfully?
Thanks,
Ritesh
Yes it is working
I have a similar question to Szymon using Peter’s work-around.
How can I convert a sublist of string(s) to numbers? As you can see it’s working on a basic string input, but what about a list?
The “to number” node in 0.9.0 should work quite well, also try experimenting with the List.Map node.
Thanks Timon - Too obvious! I was searching for “String to Number”. I also played with the List.Map node and ran into the same issue. I agree, I need to learn much more about the power of List.Map!!
