How to put a byte string into a float in IDL

I am new to the programming language IDL (Interactive Data Language) and am learning to code in it. I'd like to know how to put a byte string into a float in IDL without saving it to a file.

Any help would be welcome.

Solution

  • Use the float routine, i.e., float('5') is 5.0.
