Look up the obviously named SPLIT command.&nbsp;<span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":face_with_rolling_eyes:">🙄</span> To be fair it does a good job, it's just not as immediately obvious as something like "StrToNum" which doesn't exist.</P> Thu, 21 Oct 2021 14:32:31 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/Convert-from-string-to-length/m-p/311045#M4435 DGSketcher 2021-10-21T14:32:31Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/Convert-from-string-to-length/m-p/311046#M4436 <P>...

I was aware of the SPLIT command but didn't know that it achieved what I was after.</P> Thu, 21 Oct 2021 15:12:31 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Archicad-C-API/Convert-from-string-to-length/m-p/311051#M4437 JGoode 2021-10-21T15:12:31Z
