You don't have a lot of additional explanation here, but it appears that you have an integer, single, or double precision number stored as a string variable. What you need to do to convert it depends upon the type of variable and the final numeric data type you need. Some possibilities: newVar=str2num(cell2mat(cellVar)); % If the number is stored as in a cell as a string newVar=str2num(strVar); % If stored as a string array Barry
