Float.parseFloat, Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to Float

Anonymous — Thu, 24 Nov 2016 15:59:01 GMT

Dear all,
I try to cast from string to float.
I use java code in a tJavaFlex component :

row2.coord = Float.parseFloat(row1.coord);

Of course, I select the right type for input (string) and output(float)
But i have an error :

Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to Float

Thank you in advance for your idea!

I suggest to use the tConvertType component instead of diving into custom Java coding. Its use is pretty straightforward and it does what you desire.

use

Float.valueOf(row1.coord)
