however, I want to convert position to a floating point number, as the actual cell value is in the form of X.XXX (where X = digits). When I try float(position) I get a ValueError saying that the string could not be converted to a float. What am I doing wrong?
Inspect the string by printing it with repr() and see what is actually there.
e.g. print repr(position) float(position) -- Steven _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
