Unable to convert text to number

[ahmadsultan]

Hello,

I am having trouble in converting text which I get as an output from Python Script to number in PAD. I've tried everything but I'm unable to figure it out. The text displays perfectly fine in Message Box but is unable to convert to number and gives this error 😞The error I get

I know this isn’t the answer you are looking for, but would you be able to possibly write the text to something and read the text from that, then possibly be able to convert the text you just read. 

Just write text to temp.csv, read text from temp.csv, convert. 

Best of luck!

Thanks for replying @MichaelAnnis, I tried your method and it still gives that error. Strange😩

Hi @ahmadsultan 

Yeah, this seems to be a PAD bug. As a workaround, you could use JS as a intermediary and then use the convert function:

Hi @tkuehara,

Your technique worked for me. Thanks a lot! 😄
